Reintegration – 2008

The United Nations Peace Building Support Office approved $4 million to fund 1,000 micro-projects for the reintegration of 5,000 ex-combatants. As of October 1, only 3 projects, which benefited 30 ex-combatants, were operational. Reintegration into the civil service was also said to benefit only 15,000 ex-combatants due to limited funding.¹ By the end of the year, the civil service and the National Program for Reinsertion and Community Rehabilitation provided reintegration support to 329 ex-combatants and 675 ex-combatants, respectively.²
