Second, there is a need to better understand what a responsive public administration is all about. Third, Partnerships and innovation are crucial to transform public administration to not be the catalyst for violent conflicts but rather to be a facilitator for sustainable development and a peaceful environment. Fourth, it’s at utmost importance to count on professional human resources within civil service while ensuring its sound management. 

Finally, connected governance and citizen engagement must be seen as the paramount factors in line with other aforementioned dynamics for a successful post conflict reconstruction process of Public Administration.
