| description |
The lord’s resistance army (LRA) has
inflicted enormous suffering on millions of civilians in
several countries of the Great Lakes and Central African
regions since it began operating in the 1990s in Northern
Uganda. In March 2008, after months of intensive efforts by
regional and international stakeholders to bring the
conflict to an end, representatives of the Government of
Uganda and the LRA finalized the final peace agreement. The
military operations have significantly reduced the strength
and operational capacity of the LRA over the past three
years. Despite the relative success of the joint military
operations, the group continues to pose a serious security
threat to civilians due to the limited capacity of the
national security forces in the affected countries. The
LRA’s indiscriminate attacks on civilians constitute serious
violations of international humanitarian and human rights
laws and have caused a serious humanitarian crisis in the
affected countries. The main purpose of this paper is to
outline the context and rationale for interventions in LRA
affected areas, to briefly describe the pilot with its
regional dimension, and to present lessons learned as well
as recommendations for strengthening design and
implementation of support to socio-economic associations in
LRA affected areas. |
