This paper puts forward the framework of the ‘marketplace of post-conflict assistance’ as a conceptual, analytical, and heuristic tool to comprehend better holistic dynamics in humanitarian and post-conflict contexts, where a variety of different actors offer various services and forms of assistance. It seeks to emphasise relations and interactions between service providers and intended beneficiaries in settings where there are often numerous different ways to conceptualise and manage problems stemming from armed conflict. This is demonstrated using one in-depth case study of a family in northern Uganda that has struggled for years with mental illness/spiritual problems. By framing the post-conflict space using the marketplace metaphor, it is possible to deepen understanding of how people try out different options to manage issues related to warfare and seek healing. Importantly, this framework also recognises the agency that people exercise in doing so, and how communities and service providers relate to each other.

乌干达北部及其他地区的“冲突后援助市场”

本文提出了“冲突后援助市场”的框架，作为一种概念性、分析性和启发式工具，以更好地理解人道主义和冲突后环境中的整体动态，其中各种不同的行为者提供各种服务和形式的援助。协助。它旨在强调服务提供者和预期受益者之间的关系和互动，在这些环境中，通常有许多不同的方式来概念化和管理武装冲突引起的问题。乌干达北部的一个家庭多年来一直与精神疾病/精神问题作斗争，通过一项深入的案例研究证明了这一点。通过使用市场隐喻来构建冲突后空间，可以加深对人们如何尝试不同的选择来管理与战争有关的问题和寻求治疗的理解。重要的是，该框架还承认人们这样做的机构，以及社区和服务提供者之间的关系。
