DDR and Countering Violent Extremism Operational Guideline

This OGN aims to provide African DDR practitioners and stakeholders with operational guidance on the growing overlap between DDR and the emerging field of Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) as it relates to the screening, prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals associated with armed groups designated as terrorist organizations (hereafter, persons associated with terrorist groups) by AU member states and/or the United Nations. It also aims to address Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and communities who engage with DDR programs and play a vital role in the process of screening, prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration of persons associated with terrorist groups.
