The World Bank has increased the volume of its lending to post-conflict countries by more than 800 percent since 1980, with reconstruction operations touching every region and economic sector. But the Bank currently lacks a clear Operational Policy for post-conflict reconstruction assistance, relying on Operational Policy (OP) 8.5, which applies mainly to reconstruction after natural disasters. The main recommendation that emerged from the study is that the Bank should prepare a new policy statement to consolidate, clarify, and refine existing policies. It should revise and transform the Framework into an Operational Policy, with accompanying Bank Procedures and Good Practices to guide Bank staff in providing post-conflict reconstruction assistance. Of the 34 post-conflict countries identified by the study, 18 received Bank assistance for 157 reconstruction projects.
