Conflict management is an essential part if the development challenge. To argue about a disconnect between development and conflict prevention is essentially to argue a false dichotomy. The countries in question are mostly inhibited by fractured, underdeveloped nationhood. USAID must understand its role and what it is trying to achieve in these countries. Should sustainable development be the goal? Humanitarian assistance? Programming and analysis is much too stovepiped within the Agency. Conflict prevention and management cannot and should not be boxed off into separate sectoral components.
