Abstract
The Pilot Reintegration Project of the
Republic of South Sudan’s National DDR Program (NDDRP) was
conducted with the overall aim to test reintegration
approaches and modalities, and to develop actionable lessons
that can inform and improve the Republic of South Sudan’s
future DDR programming. Reintegrating ex-combatants into
civilian life is a major challenge and in fact the key
measure of a DDR program success. Managed by the World
Bank’s Transitional Demobilization and Reintegration Program
(TDRP) in close coordination with the National DDR
Commission (NDDRC) and through financial support from
Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), the reintegration
pilot was conducted in three phases from April 2013-October
2014. The current events in South Sudan underscore the
importance of DDR to the country and its connection to the
nation’s overall development. As such, it is critical that
the country continue and invigorate its work in developing a
nationally-led well-designed and well-implemented DDR
program. The learnings from this pilot as well as the tools
developed are relevant and timely as these contribute to the
development of an effective and realistic full National DDR Program.
