Workshop: Community Infrastructure
in Conflict-Affected Societies
October 14--15
Over 40 USAID staff–past and present–participated
in the October 14-15, 2004 workshop on Community Infrastructure
in Conflict-Affected Societies: Improving the Effectiveness
of Community-Based Reconstruction Programs for Reconciliation.
Over the years USAID has implemented Community-Based Infrastructure
programs in all regions, ranging from earlier programs in
countries such as Nicaragua, El Salvador, and the Philippines
to more recent endeavors in the Balkans, Afghanistan, and
Iraq.
The Workshop, jointly-organized by DCHA's Offices of Conflict
Management and Mitigation and Transition Initiatives and by
EGAT's Office of Urban Programs, succeeded in its goal of
distilling numerous lessons of experience. These findings
will be offered as guidance in a forthcoming resource guide
for field staff charged with design and implementation of
these programs.
