Reconstruction Zones in Afghanistan and Haiti: A Way to Enhance Aid Effectiveness and Accountability

The record of countries coming out of war or chaos is dismal: roughly half of them fall back into crises, and, among the other half, most end up highly aid dependent. In this paper, the author develops a proposal for reconstruction zones as a way to jump-start the economies of conflict- and disaster-affected countries in a dynamic and inclusive way, by improving aid effectiveness and accountability.
