ABSTRACT
We have already referred to issues of the financing of war (Chapter 3), the potential of a peace dividend following the end of fighting (Chapter 5), the assistance which may be forthcoming under an IMF structural adjustment package (Chapter 5) and direct foreign investment (Chapter 5). This chapter examines the role of development assistance, from individual countries, from international organisations and from non-government sources. We noted in Chapter 2 the amounts pledged by international donors to support reconstruction efforts in El Salvador ($800 million), Palestine ($2400 million) and Cambodia ($880 million). The costs of victory are indeed very high. We also noted that most of the financial resources needed for reconstruction will have to be met by the nation itself.
