Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$1,022,386.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 12, 2023 - Oct 31, 2026

Description:

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.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) enhanced knowledge of the factors that lead to armed group association in the first place and how and why boys, girls, men, and women exit armed groups and make progress toward reintegration into civilian life; and (2) increased capacity of practitioners across the UN to conduct robust impact assessments of their programmes and use results to inform design and implementation with particular focus on how programming can be tailored and implemented in a gender-sensitive and age-sensitive way.
