Problems with Postwar Reconstruction

A History of Nutrition Intervention from the Civil War to Post-Civil War in Angola

Resumo

This article examines the problems with nutrition intervention by NGOs in Angola from the civil war until the current era of peace. The author argues that during wartime nutrition intervention, aid agencies in Angola often contributed to the civil war, whether intended or unintended. During the post-conflict stage, problems with aid have persisted. It is discussed how part of this burden stems from the lack of long-term planning specially concerning the transition phase from war to peace with a decisive impact on the populations.
