Securing an AIDS Free Future: Practical Lessons about Security and AIDSin Conflict and Post-Conflict Settings

IATI aims to make information about aid spending easier to access, use and understand

The belief that development and reconstruction are central to stability and security is not new. It is, however, also highly contentious, perhaps nowhere more so than in Afghanistan, the longest running experiment in stabilisation. Experiences in Afghanistan have irrevocably shaped how aid agencies regard and relate to military forces during conflict and, arguably, vice-versa. Through the Afghanistan case, this Working Paper seeks to better understand the challenges of civil-military dialogue - dialogue between military forces and independent humanitarian actors - in the context of combined international and national military forces pursuing stabilisation. In particular, it looks at the challenges posed by military forces that actively seek to pursue development and reconstruction - traditionally the domain of aid agencies - as a central component of a military strategy.
