The Rwanda country study entailed both desk and field research. The main objective of the study is to draw conclusions and present recommendations that can provide a guide to strategies and instruments for capacity-building initiatives undertaken by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) in post-conflict settings. Additionally, the study aims to contribute to a dialogue on the Funds ability to respond more effectively and efficiently to the needs of societies that must re-build following conflict. It also provides recommendations for clarification and refinement of the Funds policy in this area.
