| Based on analysing World Bank
and other donor post-conflict reconstruction (PCR) loans
and grants from rights-based, macroeconomic and
microeconomic perspectives, we conclude that few PCR
projects identify or address gender discrimination
issues. Bank PCR investments hardly reflect Bank
research recognizing that gender inequality increases
the likelihood of conflict and gender equality is
central to development and peace. Our conceptual
framework examining women’s programmes, gender
mainstreaming, and gender roles in transforming violent
into peaceful societies, leads to recommending that PCR
projects systematically address gender issues and
promote gender equality to make peace work. WIDER
