 The Post-Conflict Fund (PCF) was created in July 1997 to increase knowledge and improve available instruments within the Bank to enable early engagement and ensure an
appropriate role for the Bank in the crucial transition from relief to rehabilitation, and reconstruction activities.
The program objective is to position the Bank through constructive engagement in conflict-affected countries where normal instruments and budget provisions cannot apply. The PCF provides grants to a range of partners, financing socio-economic analyses, watching briefs, transitional support strategies, small-scale pilot reconstruction activities, and policy studies and forums. Reconstruction activities relate to the following themes: conflict mitigation, internally displaced persons and refugees, rehabilitation of social sectors, start-up support for landmine clearance and demobilization, economic recovery and the private sector, governance, and capacity building. Since 1997 the PCF has received an accumulated amount of $57.5 million from the Bank's Development Grant Facility and an additional $5.8 million from bilateral and multilateral donors.
