Peace building : Operational imperatives and organizational co-dordenation

This paper examines how various components of peace building programmes in different sectors can be co-ordinated. It starts with the examination of the practice by various co-ordinating mechanisms applied to post-conflict peace building operations. By using the example of Bosnia, the paper examines various features of vertical and lateral co-ordination and discusses how NGO operations can support major international agencies in converting their strategic level decisions into field operations.
