Strengthening Domestic Resource Mobilisation in Post-Conflict Contexts: Integrating Public and Private Finance Sources

Abstract

This article explores the role of domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) as a key element of recovery in post-conflict contexts. Drawing on conventionally state-led mechanisms – such as fiscal capacity, taxation, foreign direct investment (FDI), and natural resource management – as well as private instruments such as peace finance, microfinance and fintech, the study illustrates how effective public and private DRM practices can reduce aid dependency and bolster fiscal resilience. It further examines institutional, political and infrastructural hurdles facing post-conflict governments, highlighting innovations that can mitigate these challenges. The findings suggest that a balanced approach combining state-led and private-sector strategies can strengthen economic stabilisation, rebuild public trust and support broader efforts towards sustainable peace and development.
