Request for Information: What are a range of definitions of stabilisation and reconstruction (S&R), particularly those used within civilian organisations? In what ways do civilian organisations contribute to S&R? What lessons learnt have been identified in relation to S&R?

Steps Taken in Response: Several members of the CFC’s Afghanistan Team reviewed key policy documents, studies and other materials pertaining to stabilisation and reconstruction (S&R). Given that this request specifically focused upon the civilian side of S&R, the CFC focused its review primarily on documents produced by civilian governmental organisations (GOs), international organisations (IOs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
