Direction: Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post-war reconstruction is deficient. Once the war ends, agencies involved in post-war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting.

Direction: Once a conflict gets over, aid agencies sanctioned by the world Bank send study groups instead of requisite personnel. There is a gap of several years before moving from humanitarian relief to economic development and hence political stability. By the time such help arrives the war has restarted. It is possible to restart economic development through targeted "quick impact" initiatives. Most economies in post-conflict countries are based on agriculture. Providing free packages of seeds, fertilizers and low-cost agricultural tools will ensure that former soldiers will return to their farms and establish their livelihood. But the window of opportunity closes quickly and one has to implement these measures almost immediately.
