The first action-team was formed in 2003 to work on the specific and crucial issue faced by countries in post-crisis situation. From their researches, they were able to offer innovative and realistic answers focusing on the core of the problem: is a new life possible for the excombatants after the war ?
ECI widened progressively its field of studies to find answers to the following issues:
- Child soldiers, street children, orphans, abuse victims, disabled children.
- Countless young dropouts, who inevitably cause troubles.
- The re-conversion of soldiers, forced to quit the army required to reformat on the behalf of an international community trying to redeploy the weak budget resources from countries exiting war towards the emergency of their reconstruction.
- Public services revival and regional opening-up/development: operative health care system, working post service, motorways reconstruction, city planning, etc.
- Population isolation and development of energetics autonomy capacities (with sustainable and renewable energy)
