Stability & Economic Recovery

CDC Development Solutions’ Stability and Economic Recovery practice promotes growth and sustainable livelihoods in countries facing political or economic crisis or addressing the aftermath of natural disasters or conflict. We design programs that mitigate the root economic and social causes of conflict, minimize the conditions for a return to violence in post-conflict states, and assist in recovery in the wake of natural disasters. Our practice builds on twin approaches:

Conflict Prevention through Economic Opportunity: Many conflicts can be prevented by developing healthy economies and spreading the benefits of prosperity
Conflict and Disaster Recovery: The aftermath of most conflicts and disasters can be better-managed and recovery can occur more quickly through strong institutions and linkages to the private sector.

Whether it is supporting the small business sector in Iraq, linking local businesses to tsunami recovery efforts in Indonesia, providing smallholding farmers in Jamaica with hurricane-resistant technology, or helping the nascent Government of Southern Sudan to develop a census, CDC Development Solutions supports the resiliency of businesses, economies, and institutions crucial to maintaining peace and driving economic recovery and growth.
