 The
Post-Conflict Fund (PCF) was created in July 1997
to increase knowledge and improve available instruments
within the Bank to enable early engagement and ensure
an
appropriate role for the Bank in the crucial transition
from relief to rehabilitation, and reconstruction
activities.
The
program objective is to position the Bank through
constructive engagement in conflict-affected countries
where normal instruments and budget provisions cannot
apply. The PCF provides grants to a range of partners,
financing socio-economic analyses, watching briefs,
transitional support strategies, small-scale pilot
reconstruction activities, and policy studies and
forums.
Reconstruction
activities relate to the following themes: conflict
mitigation, internally displaced persons and refugees,
rehabilitation of social sectors, start-up support
for landmine clearance and demobilization, economic
recovery and the private sector, governance, and capacity
building.
Since
1997 the PCF has received an accumulated amount of
$57.5 million from the Bank's Development Grant Facility
and an additional $5.8 million from bilateral and
multilateral donors.
