This report from 2004 examines lessons from peacebuilding efforts during the 1990s. “Peacebuilding” commonly refers to a set of transitional activities to implement peace agreements after civil wars. Activities normally include managing the transition from relief to economic recovery and longer term development; return of refugees and displaced persons; security sector reform; (re)constructing social and economic infrastructure; (re)building political institutions for democratic rule; and promoting human rights and accountability for past violations in a system of transitional justice. The report does not cover all these areas. Rather, themes had been selected that seemed to be particularly relevant for the situation in Sudan.
