Assessment of the Situation of Women and Children Combatants in the Liberian Post-Conflict Period and Recommendations for Successful Integration

摘要

The purpose of this assessment is to review existing reintegration programs for women and child soldiers and women associated with the fighting forces (WAFF), assess their current situation in Liberia, and make recommendations to USAID on possible interventions for assistance. These recommendations include a detailed program description for a proposed USAID/Liberia activity. The assessment and recommendations are done within the context of the Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program being planned and implemented in Liberia by the international community and the United Nations peacekeeping forces (UNMIL).
