Children’s reintegration programs were implemented by 2007.

UNICEF continued to coordinate the reintegration programs for child ex-combatants. By March, 9,704 of an estimated 11,000 child beneficiaries had completed reintegration programs.² The reintegration program was terminated in 2007.

The skills-based reintegration programs for the children associated with armed conflict began graduating participants in March 2006. This portion of the reintegration program was intended to provide skills training to 5,000 of the children formerly associated with the conflict.³ Meanwhile, UNICEF and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) helped rebuild 13 government-run schools throughout the country.⁴ UNICEF also continued to provide supplies for schools in Liberia.

With the assistance of UNICEF, by March, 98% of the 10,963 former child combatants had been demobilized and disarmed and reunited with their families. Many were still undergoing reintegration programs after being reunited.⁵ According to the Secretary General’s report, UNICEF continued to contribute materials to schools and teachers to revitalize the education system.
