About the product
This study on United Nations Development Programme support to conflict-affected countries was conducted by UNDP’s Evaluation Office in response to a request from UNDP’s Executive Board. The evaluation was designed to assess the extent to which UNDP has helped address the structural conditions conducive to conflict so that a recurrence of armed conflict could be prevented. UNDP’s policies and operations in conflict-affected countries were examined in the context of UN reform, especially integrated UN peace-keeping and peace-building missions. Research and analysis covered the period 2000-2005 and involved in-depth case studies in six countries, all of which were, or still are under Security Council mandate.
