    Summary note
    This publication synthesizes the findings of an assessment of the Bank's experience with post-conflict reconstruction. Its objective is to distill lessons from the Bank's experience in the subject. The study is based on a review of the Bank's global portfolio, revealing the Bank's critical role in the reconstruction after conflict. The main recommendation is that the Bank should develop an Operational Policy on the subject, to address readiness in the provision of economic development advice during peace negotiations; aid coordination following conflict; leadership on macroeconomic and external debt issues; priority definitions in macroeconomic stabilization; infrastructure rebuilding; and the restoration of human and social capital. The assessment's core consists of nine case studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, El Salvador, Uganda, Cambodia, Eritrea, Haiti, Lebanon, Rwanda, and Sri Lanka. Causes of state failure or collapse, phases of Bank assistance, and the extent of destruction experience were diverse. Six key issues were analyzed in these case studies: 1) The Bank's main strengths or comparative advantages; 2) its partnership with other donors, etc.; 3) its role in reconstruction strategy and needs assessment; 4) its role in rebuilding the economy and institutions of governance; 5) its management of resources and processes; and 6) its monitoring and evaluation experience.
