After the adoption of the road map for reconstructing a new public administration as desirable by many so as to engender sustainable peace and development benefiting to all with no exclusion; and having examined the role of external actors and stakeholders as support agents of reconstruction process, it becomes at utmost importance to set up the key ingredients deemed necessary to put into practice what has been decided. This means to make timely decisions for immediate action, to bring innovation on board and mobilise resources for the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of post conflict development and peace sensitive programmes and projects.
Questions of political will and national ownership in post-conflict recovery settings including the role of political and technical leadership remain fundamental as well. Therefore implementing the road map for reconstructing Public Administration after conflict implies chains of responses to the following questions:
-
How to (re-) build capacities of people and institutions for an appropriate design, formulation, implementation and evaluation of peace-sensitive development policies?
-
How to perform specific duties with the big picture in mind (Sequencing versus mixing and combination of initiatives within “holistic approach”?
-
How to develop skills and tools in conflict management/resolution, as well as dialogue and mediation skills?
-
How to promote, initiate and consolidate reconciliation processes?
-
How to minimize/prevent corruption, sectarianism, and favouritism in fragile settings/contexts after conflict while avoiding so-called "justice of winners"?
-
How to (re-) establish ethics in the public service and how to provide incentives for efficient service delivery, how to avoid brain drain and promote brain gain?
-
How can the capacities of civil society institutions be strengthened in order to make them strong actors in post-conflict construction?
-
How to set up successful mechanisms and tools able to overcome socio-economic disparities and social exclusion?
-
How can sucessful and appropriate approaches be sustained over a longer period and not only in the immediate phase of attention in the aftermath of a conflict?
-
How can the support of the international community be optimized and what lessons can be learned in terms of reconciliation, resource mobilisation and advisory services for post-conflict recovery at all political economical and societal levels?
