ABSTRACT
A number of participants asked questions of the panel. One participant asked the ministers of the recipient countries how they perceived the role of conditionality in helping or hindering the process of postconflict resolution. The second participant commented that from the middle to the end of the 1990s, the donors, including the World Bank, were trying to do too much, and there was insufficient prioritization of the issues. This was more than a sequencing problem. Governments in post-conflict countries are limited in what they can do, particularly initially. There is a need to do a better job in identifying priorities and what can be done at the beginning verses later. A third participant asked what, if any, lessons can be learned from reconstruction in Rwanda that might be applicable to the future of the Sudan.
