World Bank Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction Unit

World Bank Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction Unit

Description

The Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction Unit provides guidance on integrating a sensitivity to conflict into World Bank activities, including through conflict analysis aimed at optimizing policy and project design in conflict-affected countries. It further develops specific tools and strategies to contribute to development in those countries and supports research on the economic causes and consequences of conflict. The Unit administers the Post-Conflict Fund (PCF) which supports planning, piloting and analysis of ground-breaking activities through funding governments and partner organizations in early stages of transition from conflict. The Post-Conflict Fund provides the World Bank with quick and flexible mechanism for early entry in the reconstruction process.
