UNEP and other partners have released a study titled “High-Value Natural Resources and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding,” as the first in a seven-volume series on post-conflict peacebuilding and natural resource management.
The first study highlights four recommended areas for international support:
- assisting post-conflict countries to secure better contracts with companies extracting natural resources;
- increasing the transparency of contracts, payments and decision-making;
- supporting the monitoring of companies that are extracting natural resources; and
- encouraging strategic planning for and accountability in using the revenues from natural resources to provide immediate peace dividends to war-torn populations, through investment in infrastructure, health, education and economic diversification.
