The project contributes to sustainable peace and economic development in Sudan and South Sudan by providing former combatants and their households with alternative livelihoods, and by addressing issues of local instability related to their reintegration. Equipping former combatants with alternative livelihoods and new skills is essential to ensuring their smooth transition back into civilian life. The project aims to benefit at least 4,600 ex-combatants and vulnerable groups (400 women, 200 disabled) associated with the armed groups and is a part of the broader United Nations Development Program (UNDP) initiative for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) in Sudan and South Sudan.
