Gender-aware Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR): A Checklist

Submitted by crinadmin on

This checklist provides practical guidance on how to design demobilisation packages for men so that the women and their families and broader communities also benefit. The toolkit includes a particular focus on education and retraining, including sections on education in the encampment phase, resettlement, medical, health and psychological needs, economic concerns and gender-awareness in demobilization and reintegration. The encampment phase includes a particular focus on HIV and AIDS education, while resettlement contains a safety net ensuring assistance to resettled women in getting their children, especially girls to school. Medical, health and psychological needs additionally encompass a focus on education in HIV and AIDS prevention and care for those infected.
