Achieving peaceful development and maintaining economic stability in any economy in distress requires adequate and effective planning. Peace building is a dynamic social construct that allows for peaceful development of any economy. Economic stability allows for peaceful development through proper and effective planning. This paper provides a clear guide on how education can be planned and provided in a country under distressed economy for peaceful development and stability. Discussed in this paper are distressed economy, economic stability, peace building, education and planning. This paper also considered the peculiar educational challenges and demands a country under distressed economy presents; the planning framework for different levels of education in any economy in distress and the peculiar educational programmes built into this framework to the peculiar educational challenges. However, this paper concluded that any country under distressed economy needs the combination of informal and non-formal type of education which must be managed and controlled by both the leaders of the members of the society and the correspondence agencies of the government. Sources of funding such education should be by the government with the support of different leaders of various groups of the members of the society.
