Sammendrag
This report examines lessons from previous peacebuilding

efforts in Afghanistan, and from other countries, in order to

highlight issues of central relevance for the present phase of

peacebuilding and economic recovery. It consists of two

papers commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign

Affairs. The report argues that the most promising strategy

is to strengthen national institutions. At the same time, the

report warns against a rapid infusion of funds for

reconstruction, and proposes a careful start with a long-term

perspective. Placing a large assistance package on the table

at the present time may encourage a fight over “the spoils of

peace”, and entrench the power of the warlords.

There is no blueprint for peacebuilding based on experiences

from other countries, but relevant lessons are nevertheless

found. Innovation, risk-taking and flexibility are important

in formulating strategies. Most important in Afghanistan is

to establish institutions that will prevent future conflict

among the victors. Employment generation and external

budget support to core state functions are essential, while

security sector reforms will be difficult and require a longterm

approach. The modest UN mission will leave a “light

footprint”, but other actors seem to counteract this positive

feature.
