总结:This background paper assesses the consequences of civil war in Africa and provides recommendations on how to deal with these consequences. Historically, Africa has had a high prevalence of conflict but during the last decade the continent has seen the termination of a number of civil wars. Since a high proportion of peace settlements break down it is important to understand the challenges post-conflict societies face.
