DDR for Women Operational Guideline

This guideline aims to provide African stakeholders including the AU, AU personnel, AU member states, RECs/RMs, and PSOs with operational guidelines to assist in the planning for, and implementation of, disarmament, DDR programmes that respond to the needs of women. Although it is not a comprehensive guideline, it includes the most essential elements that need to be considered by national authorities. While the focus of the guideline is on women, much of its content is also relevant to girls engaging in DDR processes and should be read in conjunction with the AU Operational Guideline on DDR for Children.
