This paper provides guidance for US peacekeeping personnel in planning and executing stability operations tasks related to restoration of public sector services and infrastructure. It is designed to supplement existing and emerging guidance, and is specifically relevant to addressing the needs of public sector rebuilding in a post-conflict situation by peacekeeping forces. It draws both from theory and analytic frameworks and from on-the-ground experience of practitioners. The authors emphasize that the extent to which public sector reconstruction takes place is a function of the mission, the level of resources, expertise of the troops, and the host country context.
