IP 523 Post Conflict Relief and Development

Fourteen of the twenty poorest countries are currently in or emerging from conflict. As a result, NGOs and their donors are increasingly grappling with the fine line between “development” and “relief.” The first half of this course will examine traditional development approaches. Students will learn about the different roles of donors (NGOs, bi-lateral, multi-lateral, and foundations), the relationship between donors and recipients, strategies, impact and effectiveness. The second half of the course will examine international efforts to consolidate and to jump-start a nation’s social, economic, and political recovery from conflict. Students will then examine the continuum between development and relief, and the challenges it poses for the international community.
