Reintegration – 1999

1999

Intermediate Implementation Intermediate implementation

Delays in releasing funds pledged by international donors prevented more than one-third of ex-combatants from reintegrating on schedule. Other delays in the implementation of projects for uprooted communities prevented another one-third of ex-combatants from reintegrating. More general difficulties in workforce development also hindered progress toward definitive integration. However, advancements were made in programs for education, granting titles to land, settling land disputes, and building housing and infrastructure.1

The URNG further solidified its standing as a political party in the 1999 elections. Joining with the Alianza Nueva Nacion, it won nine seats in Congress and thirteen mayoral races.2
