Achieving security and development in the post-conflict era is a
challenge with which stakeholders have to grapple. While
stakeholders are quick to claim success when physical hostilities
cease between the belligerents, ensuring sustainable peace has been
a daunting task. In some countries in Africa, the post-conflict era
is characterized by organizing elections to ensure greater
political participation. It is believed that elections will begin a
process of openness and trust in the governing system. A supplement
to electoral democracy has been power sharing arrangements used to
resolve post-election violence, and ensure stability within the
state. However, what underlie most conflicts in Africa is the
marginalization and lack of an enabling environment to achieve
individual life objectives. Policies and strategies to achieve
security and enhance development post conflict have, at best, been
an extremely slow process and sometimes elusive. In Sierra Leone,
for instance, though the official declaration of the end of war and
the successful general elections held in 2002, 2007, and 2012 have
led to some domestic stability, developmental targets in the
post-conflict era have proceeded at a snail s pace. The country
continues to rank at the bottom of most UNDP human development
indicators since 2002. Human Security and Sierra Leone s
Post-Conflict Development analyzes the extent to which human
security issues have been addressed and subsequently implemented in
the post-conflict reconstruction process. While Sierra Leone has
made tremendous efforts at implementing reforms in the areas of
political sensitization, promotion of civil rights and civil
liberties, as well as personal security, the lack on the part of
the government to effectively address the unemployment problem has
negatively affected security and developmental targets. Thus, the
post-conflict management strategies in Sierra Leone fail to secure
and promote some aspects of human security, leading to fragile
peace and slow progress in achieving sustainable security and
development. Human security is an all-encompassing phenomenon and
must be addressed to achieve overall wellbeing of the people,
especially in post-conflict environments."
