This third edition of the Arab Governance Report introduces post-war best practices from international and regional experiences. It suggests strategies and policy recommendations for Libya and Yemen that focus on the immediate aftermath of the cessation of combat and a future political settlement. With the priority and sequencing of post-war policies dependent on distinctive historical trajectories, the road maps are tailored to the unique circumstances of each case. The goal is to help ensure inclusive transition and a consensus-based process of reforming governance structures and rehabilitating key institutions after a political settlement. Effective institutional building develops efficient mechanisms to preserve and consolidate the peace process, and enhance State legitimacy through developing sustainable capacity to take on the basic requirements of governance.
