| Summary: | Understanding how to rebuild resilient
states in post-conflict countries is an urgent priority for
the international community. A new cross-country study of
public financial management reforms in post-conflict
situations shows that substantial progress is possible even
in difficult circumstances, while showing a pattern of
sequencing and progress that differs from standard
assumptions. However, the impact on state building remains
less than what might be hoped. That impact could be
strengthened by persistently targeting sustainable capacity,
challenging areas such as procurement, greater public
awareness, and more rapid coverage of line ministries and
sub-national levels. |
