The Post-Conflict Reconstruction (PCR) Project develops innovative strategies to speed, enhance, and strengthen international conflict response. Established in 2002, the PCR Project is seen as a leading global source for authoritative analysis, evaluation, and recommendations for fragile states and post-conflict reconstruction.
The Project focuses on the full spectrum of conflict-related concerns, from early warning and conflict prevention to rebuilding shattered societies. It incorporates the four essential pillars of reconstruction: security and public safety, justice and reconciliation, governance and participation, and economic and social progress. PCR project staff collaborate closely with U.S. congressional and executive branch decisionmakers—as well as local communities and international partners.
Key achievements of the PCR Project to date include numerous path-breaking studies on Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and creative reports on special challenges - such as youth in conflict, and regular conferences and roundtables that bring together leading scholars and practitioners with policymakers.
