This comparative study assesses the causes—and consequences—of failures to fulfill pledges of aid to postconflict societies. In each of six case studies, the coauthors (drawn from both donor states and recipient countries), evaluate multilateral efforts to support sustainable recovery and peacebuilding in societies emerging from protracted violence. They first establish the timing, composition, and objectives of aid pledged by the donor community. They then analyze the conditions that donors placed on their assistance, the mechanisms they created to coordinate it, and donor performance in delivering it. Next, they evaluate the recipient's ability to absorb external assistance and the impact that this aid has had for reconstruction and peacebuilding goals. Finally, they assess the causes, consequences, and lessons of any gaps between pledges and disbursements. What explains shortfalls in aid disbursement? And what do these recent experiences suggest for improving the multilateral design, mobilization, and coordination of assistance to postconflict societies? Good intentions notwithstanding, inadequate preparation, poor coordination, and lack of perseverance can threaten the recovery of vulnerable polities whose collapse would endanger regional peace and security.

The aim of the research underpinning this volume was threefold: to determine how countries understand and are acting on the Programme of Action endorsed by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994; how efforts to implement that program can be assessed; and what is needed to move forward. The resulting case studies help also to answer broader questions regarding assistance for health and sustainable development from the perspective of both developing and donor countries. The authors focus especially on the ICPD reproductive health agenda, considering its viability and sustainability, current and alternative sources for financing at the national level, and the current and future importance of international donor aid. Each case study, while concentrating on the public sector, also addresses the critical roles of NGOs and corporate actors. The concluding chapter discusses lessons learned thus far about the reproductive health approach to population and development.
