Minimum Implementation Minimal implementation

The Townsville Peace Agreement stipulated the repatriation of MEF and IFM soldiers and the initiation of public works programs to provide counseling and employment services for ex-combatants and their families (within 3 months of repatriation). By the end of 2000, approximately 1000 ex-combatants had been recruited into the Solomon Islands Police Force.[1] There were no other documented reintegration programs in 2000.
