As previously mentioned, there are four iterative and intertwined planes in reconstructing public administration after conflict. The Toolkit is divided along these four planes, which are first symbiotic because each one goes along with the others at every situation of reconstruction, then iterative in the sense that they interact each other as time goes on and they must be undertaken at all different levels of government and society, i.e. within each ministry, department, unit, local area, throughout the various phases of post-conflict reconstruction, usually not in neat sequences. Moreover, these planes are intertwined because each one is conducted while nurturing and affecting the others at different levels of government as part of a continuous open-ended process of transformation.
