| description |
Several devastating conflicts have
persisted in Sub-Saharan Africa for the past 20 years or
more. Some countries are still emerging from the era of cold
war politics, while debilitating internal struggles continue
to plague others. Ethiopia, Namibia, South Africa, Uganda,
and more recently, Angola and Mozambique are examples of the
former. The latter is illustrated by the situation in
countries such as Liberia, Somalia and the Sudan. This
study, the transition from war to peace in Sub-Saharan
Africa, offers practical guidance and examples of good
practice for improving the design and implementation of
programs for demobilization, reinsertion, and reintegration
of ex-combatants and their dependents in client countries.
It also provides a list of early warning signals that
indicate whether the demobilization and reintegration
programs (DRPs) process is not going according to plan and
suggests preventive actions. Work on the ground, as well as
case analysis in countries such as Ethiopia, Namibia,
Uganda, Angola, Mozambique, and Rwanda form the basis of the
suggested good practice in DRPs. |
