Background |
|
The Darfur Community Based Reintegration and Stabilization programme aims to contribute to long term peace and security in Darfur through socio-economic reintegration of former fighters. At the same time, it also contributes to community livelihoods stabilization through employment creation, income generation and peacebuilding. Reportedly, women and youth experience are disproportionately affected by the limited employment opportunities due to lack of skills, access to productive resources such as land, startup capital and others. In view of those challenges, this programme adopts a two prong approach improving livelihoods opportunities for unemployed youth and vulnerable women. Firstly, it provides livelihoods trainings complemented with in kind start-up capital to groups, promote internal group savings and revolving loans, and linking groups to formal microcredit services. Secondly, uses community infrastructure rehabilitation as entry point for short term employment creation for unemployed youth and women. Selected participants are mobilized into self-help groups, provide with livelihoods training, and are encouraged to save part of their daily earnings to be used as startup capital for long term income generation. They groups are then registered as cooperatives, trained in micro credit and business development services. They groups serve both as economic entities as well as entry points to promote social cohesion and reconciliation between different ethnic groups. Finally, one of the key achievements of the programme during the past 2 years is the formation of over 30 cooperatives by ex-combatants jointly with civilians. Most of the cooperatives are at advanced stages of development with high a potential for sustainability. However, all will continue to require capacity development support to ensure their sustainability.
