| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to provide
a better understanding for policy makers and service
providers of mobility and migration among ex-combatants and
the effectiveness of Disarmament, Demobilization and
Reintegration (DDR) programming in Uganda. The study
followed a scoping study on migration in Uganda conducted in
March 2011 by the Transitional Demobilization and
Reintegration Program (TDRP) of the World Bank. This study
had the following specific objectives: 1) to analyze
push/pull migration factors of ex-combatants in Uganda, with
a specific focus on social as well as economic factors both
within communities of origin and at new communities of
re-settlement; 2) to explore any impact of DDR programming
on migration of ex-combatants in Uganda; 3) to increase the
understanding of the impact of migration by ex-combatants on
the effectiveness of past and current DDR programming,
specifically on reintegration efforts; and 4) to generate
recommendations on how to improve DDR programming, taking
into account findings from other related studies. |
