United Nations officials in Angola announced in January that the reintegration program for some 8,000 child soldiers into society had officially begun.1

Speaking at the official opening of the program, the Social Reintegration Minister, Joao Kussumua, announced that the government had made available 125 million dollars for social reintegration programs for former UNITA soldiers and their families.2

After a 4 day visit in August, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees gave the social reintegration programs high marks for their progress over the first six months.3
