Review of international financing arrangements for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration Phase 2 Report to Working Group 2 of the SIDDR

Phase II report of this study commissioned by the SIDDR that explored international financing arrangements for DDR and issues related to harmonization and policy coherence. Broad conclusions center around three key issues and recommendations; (a) the need to anchor DDR in wider security transformation processes; 2) steps required to harmonize and align external assistance and mandates, and 3) the identification of ways to more effectively and flexibly fund DDR. Case studies from Liberia and DRC are extensively drawn on to form and illustrate conclusions. The executive summary concisely summarizes the findings.
