Guidelines Note for the Implementation of The African Union Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development Policy

Abstract

The African Union (AU) Guidelines Note for the implementation of the Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (PCRD) Policy has been developed within the Commission’s framework on peace and security, which includes the Constitutive Act, the Protocol for the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council, the Memorandum of Understanding between the AU Commission (AUC) and the Regional Economic Communities and Regional Mechanisms (RECs/RMs), among others, to address the challenges of post-conflict countries and countries in relatively unstable situations. The PCRD Policy framework provides the broad strategic outline for assisting countries to recover from conflict and/or difficult transitions. This Guidelines Note contributes to enhancing African capacity to deal with the complex recovery efforts in post-conflict and unstable situations in Member States.
