  • VIDEO: Crisis Management and Natural Resources Featuring Charles Kelly

    December 19, 2008 By Wilson Center Staff
    “Governance is key. If you don’t have a competent government after the war, you’re not going to solve the problems that weren’t solved before the war because of incompetent governance,” said Charles Kelly at “Sustaining Natural Resources and Environmental Integrity During Response to Crisis and Conflict,” a November 12 event.

    In this latest video from the Environmental Change and Security Program, Kelly discusses the importance of carefully planning and executing post-conflict environmental assistance, which can lead to renewed conflict if not implemented properly. He highlights ongoing post-conflict and disaster management operations in Sudan and Haiti, offering suggestions for the way forward.

      Mr. Kelly,
      I am interested in your idea that post conflict aid can sometimes lead to even more conflict. You mentioned the tree planting in Haiti and the water wells in Sudan. Can you provide more examples to support your theory further?

      This blog mentions many situations in Africa. I wonder how the military will navigate some of these tough issues of political instability and environmental degradation. Additionally, the newly created Africa Command will play an important role in these operations to support Africa during conflict and post-conflict reconstruction.
