Prevention lessons outline the vital role of civil society, and the need for external support; demobilization lessons stress that child soldiers must be specifically included in peace agreements and demobilization processes; and, reintegration lessons highlight three components essential to effective reintegration: family reunification; psychosocial support; and, education and economic opportunity. 2012-08-13T09:29:28Z 2012-08-13T09:29:28Z 2002-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/05/2018937/child-soldiers-lessons-learned-prevention-demobilization-reintegration http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9769 English Africa Region Findings & Good Practice Infobriefs; No. 207 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Africa El Salvador Angola
