Afghanistan has been, and continues to be, an extremely challenging operating environment both generally, and in relation to infrastructure development. This case study draws from the literature and from recent experience to identify approaches that could result in greater chances of success for the development and financial support for infrastructure projects.
This Somalia case study forms part of an ICED research project for DFID’s Growth and Resilience Department to investigate infrastructure programming in fragile and conflict-affected states, comprising case studies examining lessons learned from donor experiences in these contexts.
The two further case studies on Somalia and Urban WASH programming can be found here, alongside an overall consolidated report which summarises all the findings and key learning points on infrastructure programmes for DFID and other donors.
