The National Disarmament, Demobilization
and Reintegration Program (NDDRP) in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (DRC) was implemented over a period of seven
years (2004- 2011) with the World Bank's support and
funding. The NDDRP had three objectives: 1) disarmament of
all combatants willing to be granted a status of demobilized
person; 2) demobilization of all ex-combatants who met the
conditions for a return to civilian life through a
downsizing process of armed forces or groups; and 3)
reintegrate the demobilized in the social and economic
practices of the community of their choice with
opportunities and conditions similar to those of other
members of the community. To achieve these objectives, the
DRC government initially established a National Commission
of Demobilization and Reinsertion (CONADER, 2003), then
established the NDDRP (2004), and finally created a new
NDDRP Implementation Unit (IU-NDDRP, 2007). NDDRP was
divided into three distinct phases, each capitalizing on the
gains as well as the mistakes of the past. Economic
reintegration of demobilized ex-combatants represented four
out of five demobilized as recorded by the program. At the
program's conclusion, the implementing partners decided
to support the creation, legalization, and strengthening of
demobilized persons' economic associations. This model
of economic and social reintegration developed by the NDDRP
can serve as a model framework for future rehabilitation and
reintegration processes in DRC as well as in other
countries. Finally, as the results were not as high as
expected in regard to the number of women as well as wounded
and disabled veterans demobilized, the NDDRP can be lauded
for successfully reaching and reintegrating a highly
significant number of Children Associated to Armed Forces
and Groups (CAAFG) through special projects executed by
different implementing partners. |
