Rebuilding health systems to improve health and promote statebuilding in post-conflict countries: a theoretical framework and research agenda
Document Library
February 29, 2016

Violent conflicts claim lives, disrupt livelihoods, and halt delivery of essential services, such as health care and education.

Rebuilding Knowledge: Opportunities and Risks for Higher Education in Post-Conflict Regions
Document Library
October 19, 2015

The transition from violence and instability to peace and prosperity is rarely linear, but rather defined more by its complexity and the alignment of often-surprising conditions.
