USAID Workshop on
Conflict Prevention Management


SESSION III: DEMOCRACY AND GOVERNANCE: JUSTICE AND SECURITY

Dr. Johanna Mendelson-Forman, PPC, Discussant

June 7, 2000

Sustainable security is a critical and fascinating issue. Conflict prevention is impossible unless agencies like USAID get security right. Altogether there are four issues that need to be examined. First, informed and timely analysis is largely lacking. How can effective analysis best be had? Second, donors need to take a security-first approach to governance. Third, the Agency should look at the stovepiping of our efforts in the DG sector. Lastly, the role of spoilers should be more closely scrutinized. Donors often fail to take spoilers into account.
