U.N. Institute for Disarmament UNIDIR

Published purpose

For decades, the UN and its partners have provided and supported a range of interventions to help groups and individuals exit armed conflict. Yet there is a significant knowledge gap regarding which interventions are effective in supporting reintegration, for whom, and under which conditions. This initiative seeks to redress this knowledge gap by developing a unified, rigorous approach to integrated impact assessment of demobilization and reintegration interventions. United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) works with United Nations partners, including the Department of Peace Operations, and national partners. The project expects the hold research and data collection activities in Colombia, Iraq, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Nigeria.
