The following activities were carried out:
A joint program document, detailing roles of all partners and stages of
implementation has been approved.
34 social workers have been trained to support DDR activities.
220 movements’ commanders have been briefed on the child soldier program.
A series of meetings with 15 host communities were held in Darfur attended by
1200 tribal and community leaders. The meetings focused on reintegration
mechanisms and services and the importance of strengthening those mechanisms.
With considerable support from movements’ representatives, UNICEF,
UNAMID and other stakeholders DDRC (North) was able to demobilize and
disarm 962 children. After careful scrutiny 289 of these children were excluded
as it was proven they were not members of the movements.
Children were registered on special forms and were all subjected to medical
examination to determine who is able or disable. They were all briefed on
HIV/AIDS and then reunited with their respective families.
