“…178 Building partner capacity serves to strengthen other indigenous actors' ability to carry out stabilization activities. 179 This is also the primary means by which the U.S. military can transition out of a country. 180 Finally, it is also a critical component of preventive stabilization efforts, because professional competent indigenous security forces can address brewing instability and provide space for the local government to address the root causes.…”

“…Recent stability operations to restore or build domestic order for failed or conflict-ridden states emphasized a comprehensive approach (Azarbaijani-Moghaddam et al 2008) and constructive effects for drawing cooperation from allies and partners (Marquis et al 2010) to provide economic stabilization and infrastructure development by helping the supported nation to develop both its capability and capacity (Shin 2009). Stabilizing a conflictridden state is an incredibly costly and complex effort (Ghani and Lockhart 2008, 25).…”

Infrastructure Impact for Human Safety and Resilience : A Case Study

Constructing the Afghan National Police (ANP) facilities was among the U.S. Government's (USG) infrastructure development efforts for the stability operation mission in Afghanistan. Therefore, this study selected two communities in the northern and eastern parts of Afghanistan to assess how the introduction of these police stations has influenced the perception of neighborhood safety and local growth. This study used complementary datasets and methods, including multilevel models, to relate qualitative and quantitative information. This study revealed contrasting outcomes: (a) people's feeling of safety attributed to the ANP facilities is higher in the less safe area, and (b) people's perception of the overall neighborhood safety in the two study areas is unrelated to each other. These feelings of safety are associated with perceived trust and confidence in the police; and most importantly, the ANP facilities contributed to a level of perceived institutional influence in promoting patriotism and national identity in the community. Overall, the addition of police infrastructure and institutions in these two study areas has supported security, resilience, and growth in the community. These measures provide novel insights that are practical for assessing impacts on infrastructure development in conflict-ridden environments and can facilitate better-informed decisions for future infrastructure development supporting USG missions.

“…RAND has produced several such studies for the US government. 19 However, such studiespartly as a consequence of the terms of reference underpinning the worktend to judge the effectiveness of efforts in relation to an ideal as framed by US doctrine. This limits the applicability of the lessons to other states with different structures to the US, and which lack the US's capacity.…”
