This report asks how economic stabilization in a conflict-prone environment must differ from a traditional economic development environment and how programs must be modified to address true stabilization before moving to economic development. The paper presents a model that links the infrastructure cycle with conflict analysis, focusing the attention of the infrastructure program planners and implementers on the conflict cycle. The paper states that in conflict-sensitive environments the rapid restoration of essential services assists in the perception of a return to normalcy and contributes to the peace process.
