Can foreign aid work as an inducement for peace? This study highlights the unintended dynamics of aid when provided to fragile and conflict-affected situations. Centrally argued is that the expected aid effects in donors’ mind (namely, the aid-good policy-peace link) might remain wishful thinking without tackling the problems associated with the volatile nature of aid and the security-oriented incentives of governments during war-to-peace or peace-to-war periods. This paper first looks at the recent trends (2007~2016) of armed conflict, aid inflows, and development performance across Sub -Saharan Africa. To provide country-specific insights, two country cases are further examined in terms of their governments’ aid receipts and military spending behavior. This research suggests the external finance might work limitedly for post-war reconstruction and peace-building processes primarily because aid is disbursed in a highly unpredictable and insufficient manner. As aid is conditionally delivered, the governments appear to take ostensible gestures: They tend to favor the required pro-poor reforms in order to secure budget support but are later bound to spend more for their armies once donors’ surveillance lifts.
