"Paragraph": "Summary\t Integrated disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) is part of the United Nations (UN) system\u2019s multidimensional approach that contributes to the entire peace continuum, from prevention, conflict resolution and peacekeeping, to peacebuilding and development. Integrated DDR processes are made up of various combinations of: DDR programmes; DDR-related tools; Reintegration support, including when complementing DDR-related tools. DDR practitioners select the most appropriate of these measures to be applied on the basis of a thorough analysis of the particular context. Coordination is key to integrated DDR and is predicated on mechanisms that guarantee synergy and common purpose among all UN actors. The Integrated DDR Standards (IDDRS) contained in this document are a compilation of the UN\u2019s knowledge and experience in this field. They show how integrated DDR processes can contribute to preventing conflict escalation, supporting political processes, building security, protecting civilians, promoting gender equality and addressing its root causes, reconstructing the social fabric and developing human capacity. Integrated DDR is at the heart of peacebuilding and aims to contribute to long-term security and stability. Within the UN, integrated DDR takes place in partnership with Member States in both mission and non-mission settings, including in peace operations where they are mandated, and with the cooperation of agencies, funds and programmes. In countries and regions where integrated DDR processes are implemented, there should be a focus on capacity-building at the regional, national and local levels in order to encourage sustainable regional, national and/or local ownership and other peacebuilding measures. Integrated DDR processes should work towards sustaining peace. Whereas peacebuilding activities are typically understood as a response to conflict once it has already broken out, the sustaining peace approach recognizes the need to work along the entire peace continuum and towards the prevention of conflict before it occurs. In this way the UN should support those capacities, institutions and attitudes that help communities to resolve conflicts peacefully. The implications of working along the peace continuum are particularly important for the provision of reintegration support. Now, as part of the sustaining peace approach those individuals leaving armed groups can be supported not only in post-conflict situations, but also during conflict escalation and ongoing conflict. Community-based approaches to reintegration support, in particular, are well positioned to operationalize the sustaining peace approach. They address the needs of former combatants, persons formerly associated with armed forces and groups, and receiving communities, while necessitating the multidimensional/sectoral expertise of several UN and regional actors across the humanitarian-peace-development nexus (see IDDRS 2.40 on Reintegration as Part of Sustaining Peace). Integrated DDR should also be characterized by flexibility, including in funding structures, to adapt quickly to the dynamic and often volatile conflict and post-conflict environment. DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support, in whichever combination they are implemented, shall be synchronized through integrated coordination mechanisms, and carefully monitored and evaluated for effectiveness and with sensitivity to conflict dynamics and potential unintended effects. Five categories of people should be taken into consideration in integrated DDR processes as participants or beneficiaries, depending on the context: 1)\tmembers of armed forces and groups who served in combat and/or support roles (those in support roles are often referred to as being associated with armed forces and groups); 2)\tabductees or victims; 3)\tdependents/families; 4)\tcivilian returnees or \u2018self-demobilized\u2019; 5)\tcommunity members. In each of these five categories, consideration should be given to addressing the specific

A complete glossary of all the terms, definitions and abbreviations used in the IDDRS series is given in IDDRS 1.20. In the IDDRS series, the words \u2018shall\u2019, \u2018should\u2019, \u2018may\u2019, \u2018can\u2019 and \u2018must\u2019 are used to indicate the intended degree of compliance with the standards laid down. This use is consistent with the language used in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and guidelines: a) \u2018shall\u2019 is used to indicate requirements, methods or specifications that are to be applied in order to conform to the standard; b) \u2018should\u2019 is used to indicate the preferred requirements, methods or specifications; c) \u2018may\u2019 is used to indicate a possible method or course of action; d) \u2018can\u2019 is used to indicate a possibility and capability; e) \u2018must\u2019 is used to indicate an external constraint or obligation. A DDR programme contains the elements set out by the Secretary-General in his May 2005 note to the General Assembly (A/C.5/59/31). (See box below.) These definitions are also used for drawing up budgets where UN Member States have agreed to fund the disarmament and demobilization (including reinsertion) phases of DDR programmes from the peacekeeping assessed budget. These budgetary aspects are also reflected in a General Assembly resolution on cross-cutting issues, including DDR (A/RES/59/296). Further reviews of both the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda refer to the full, unencumbered participation of women in all phases of DDR programmes, as ex-combatants or persons formerly associated with armed forces and groups. DDR-related tools are immediate and targeted measures that may be used before, after or alongside DDR programmes or when the preconditions for DDR-programmes are not in place. These include pre-DDR, transitional weapons and ammunition management (WAM), community violence reduction (CVR), initiatives to prevent individuals from joining armed groups designated as terrorist organizations, DDR support to mediation and DDR support to transitional security arrangements. In addition, support to programmes for those leaving armed groups labelled and/or designated as terrorist organizations may be provided by DDR practitioners in compliance with international standards. Reintegration support, including when complementing DDR-related tools: The UN should provide support to the reintegration of former members of armed forces and groups not only as part of DDR programmes, but also in the absence of such programmes, during conflict escalation, conflict and post-conflict. In these contexts, reintegration may take place alongside/following DDR-related tools or when DDR-related tools are not in use. The aim of this support is to facilitate the sustainable reintegration of those leaving armed forces and groups. Moreover, as part of the sustaining peace approach, community-based reintegration programmes should also aim to contribute to dynamics that aim to prevent further recruitment and sustain peace, by supporting communities of return, restoring social relations and avoiding perceptions of inequitable access to resources. Integrated DDR processes are made up of different combinations of DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support, including when complementing DDR-related tools. These different measures should be applied in an integrated manner, with joint mechanisms that guarantee coordination and synergy among all UN actors. The UN shall use the concept and abbreviation \u2018DDR\u2019 as a comprehensive term referring to integrated DDR, and including DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support. Importantly, integrated DDR processes without DDR programmes do not include all ongoing stabilization and recovery measures, but only those DDR-related tools (CVR, transitional WAM, and so forth) and

"Paragraph": "3. Introduction: The rationale and mandate for integrated DDR As DDR is implemented in partnership with Member States and draws on the expertise of a wide range of stakeholders, an integrated approach is vital to ensure that all actors are working in harmony towards the same end. Past experiences have highlighted the need for those involved in planning and implementing DDR and monitoring its impacts to work together in a complementary way that avoids unnecessary duplication of effort or competition for funds and other resources (see IDDRS 3.10 on Integrated DDR Planning). The UN\u2019s integrated approach to DDR is guided by several policies and agendas that frame the UN\u2019s work on peace, security and development: Echoing the Brahimi Report (A/55/305; S/2000/809), the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (HIPPO) in June 2015 recommended a common and realistic understanding of mandates, including required capabilities and standards, to improve the design and delivery of peace operations. Integrated DDR is part of this effort, based on joint analysis, comprehensive approaches, coordinated policies, DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support. The Sustaining Peace Approach \u2013 manifested in the General Assembly and Security Council twin resolutions on the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture (General Assembly resolution 70/262 and Security Council resolution 2282 [2016]) \u2013 underscores the mutually reinforcing relationship between prevention and sustaining peace, while recognizing that effective peacebuilding must involve the entire UN system. It also emphasizes the importance of joint analysis and effective strategic planning across the UN system in its long-term engagement with conflict-affected countries, and, where appropriate, in cooperation and coordination with regional and sub-regional organizations as well as international financial institutions. Integrated DDR also needs to be understood as a concrete and direct contribution to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are underpinned by the principle of leaving no one behind. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development explicitly links development to peace and security, while SDG 16 is focused on the promotion of peaceful, just and inclusive societies. Specifically, integrated DDR contributes to the implementation of: SDG 16.1: Significantly reduce all forms of violence and related death rates everywhere. SDG 16.4: By 2030, significantly reduce illicit financial and arms flows, strengthen the recovery and return of stolen assets and combat all forms of organized crime. SDG 8.7: Take immediate steps to \u2026 secure the prohibition and elimination of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2015 end child labour in all its forms. Gender-responsive DDR also contributes to: SDG 5.1: End all forms of discrimination against women. SDG 5.2: Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in public and private spaces, including trafficking, sexual and other types of exploitation. SDG 5.6: Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights. The Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review (A/71/243, 21 December 2016, para. 14), states that \u201ca comprehensive whole-of-system response, including greater cooperation and complementarity among development, disaster risk reduction, humanitarian action and sustaining peace, is fundamental to most efficiently and effectively addressing needs and attaining the Sustainable Development Goals.\u201d Moreover, integrated DDR often takes place amid protracted humanitarian contexts which, since the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit Commitment to Action, have been framed through various initiatives that recognize the need to strengthen the humanitarian, development and peace nexus. These initiatives \u2013 such as the Grand Bargain, the New Way of Working (NWoW), and the Global Compact on Refugees \u2013 all call for humanitarian, development and peace

"Paragraph": "4. The UN DDR approach\t The UN\u2019s integrated approach to DDR is applicable to mission and non-mission contexts, and emphasizes the role of DDR programmes, DDR-related tools, and reintegration support, including when complementing DDR-related tools. The unconditional and immediate release of children associated with armed forces and groups must be a priority. Children must be supported to demobilize and reintegrate into families and communities at all times, irrespective of the status of peace negotiations and/or the development of DDR programmes and DDR-related tools. DDR programmes consist of a range of activities falling under the operational categories of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. (See definitions above.) These programmes are typically top-down and are designed to implement the terms of a peace agreement between armed groups and the Government. The UN views DDR programmes as an integral part of peacebuilding efforts. DDR programmes focus on the post-conflict security problem that arises when combatants are left without livelihoods and support networks during the vital period stretching from conflict to peace, recovery and development. DDR programmes also help to build national capacity for long-term reintegration and human security, and they recognize the need to contribute to the right to reparation and to guarantees of non-repetition (see IDDRS 6.20 on DDR and Transitional Justice). DDR programmes are complex endeavours, with political, military, security, humanitarian and socio-economic dimensions. The establishment of a DDR programme is usually agreed to and defined within a ceasefire, the ending of hostilities or a comprehensive peace agreement. This provides the political, policy and operational framework for the DDR programme. More generally, lessons and experiences have shown that the following preconditions are required for the implementation of a viable DDR programme: the signing of a negotiated ceasefire and/or peace agreement that provides the framework for DDR; trust in the peace process; willingness of the parties to the armed conflict to engage in DDR; and a minimum guarantee of security. DDR programmes provide a framework for their coordination, management and implementation by national Governments with support from the UN system, international financial institutions, and regional stakeholders. They establish the expected outcomes, outputs and activities required, organize costing requirements into a budget, and set the monitoring and evaluation framework by identifying indicators, targets and milestones. The UN\u2019s integrated approach to DDR acknowledges that planning for DDR programmes shall be initiated as early as possible, even before a ceasefire and/or peace agreement is signed, before sufficient trust is built in the peace process, and before minimum conditions of security are reached that enable the parties to the conflict to engage willingly in DDR (see IDDRS 3.10 on Integrated DDR Planning). DDR programmes alone cannot resolve conflict or prevent violence, and such programmes need to be firmly anchored in an overall political and peacebuilding strategy. However, DDR programmes can contribute to security and stability so that other elements of a political and peacebuilding strategy, such as elections and power sharing, weapons and ammunition management, security sector reform (SSR) and rule of law reform, can proceed (see IDDRS 6.10 on DDR and SSR). In recent years, DDR practitioners have increasingly been deployed in settings where the preconditions for DDR programmes are not in place. In some contexts, a peace agreement may have been signed but the armed groups have lost trust in the peace process or reneged on the terms of the deal. In other settings, where there are multiple armed groups, some may sign on to a peace agreement while others do not. In contexts of violent extremism conducive to terrorism, peace agreements are only a remote possibility. It is not solely the lack of ceasefire agreements or peace processes that m

Over the past 10 years the UN has also gained similar experience in the use of DDR-related tools and reintegration support when the preconditions for DDR programmes are not present. Integrated DDR originates from various parts of the UN\u2019s core mandate, as set out in the Charter of the UN, particularly the areas of peace and security, economic and social development, human rights and humanitarian assistance. UN departments, agencies, programmes and funds are uniquely able to support integrated DDR processes both in mission settings, where peace operations are in place, and in non-mission settings, where there is no peace operation present, providing breadth of scope, neutrality, impartiality and capacity-building through the sharing of technical DDR skills.",

"Paragraph": "5.1 DDR in mission settings Mission settings are those situations in which peace operations are deployed through peacekeeping operations, political missions and good offices engagements, by the UN or a regional organization. Where peace operations are mandated to manage and resolve an actual or potential conflict within States, DDR is generally mandated through a UN Security Council resolution, ideally within the framework of a ceasefire and/or a comprehensive peace agreement with specific provisions on DDR. Decision-making and accountability rest with the Special Representative or Special Envoy of the Secretary-General. Missions with a DDR mandate usually include a dedicated DDR component to support the design and implementation of a nationally led DDR programme. When the preconditions for a DDR programme are not in place, the Security Council may also mandate UN peace operations to implement specific DDR-related tools, such as CVR, to support the creation of a conducive environment for a DDR programme. These types of DDR-related tools can also be designed and implemented to contribute to other mandated priorities such as the protection of civilians, stabilization and support to the overall peace process. Integrated disarmament, demobilization (including reinsertion) and other DDR-related tools (except those covering reintegration support) fall under the responsibility of the UN peace operation\u2019s DDR component. The reintegration component will be supported and/or undertaken in an integrated manner very often by relevant agencies, funds and programmes within the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), as well as international financial institutions, under the leadership of the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG)/Humanitarian Coordinator (HC)/Resident Coordinator (RC), who will designate lead agency(ies). The DDR mission component shall therefore work in close coordination with the UNCT. The UN DSRSG/HC/RC should establish a UN DDR Working Group at the country level with co-chairs to be defined, as appropriate, to coordinate the contributions of the UNCT and international financial institutions to integrated DDR. While UN military and police contingents provide a minimum level of security, support from other mission components may include communications, gender equality, women\u2019s empowerment, and youth and child protection. With regard to special political missions and good offices engagements, DDR implementation structures and partnerships may need to be adjusted to the mission\u2019s composition as the mandate evolves. This adjustment can take account of needs at the country level, most notably with regard to the size and capacities of the DDR component, uniformed personnel and other relevant technical expertise. In the case of peace operations, the Security Council mandate also forms the basis for assessed funding for all activities related to disarmament, demobilization (including reinsertion) and DDR-related tools (except those covering reintegration support). Fundraising for reintegration assistance and other activities needs to be conducted by Governments and/or regional organizations with support from United Nations peace operations, agencies, funds and programmes, bilateral donors and relevant international financial institutions. Regarding special political missions and good offices engagements, support to integrated DDR planning and implementation may require extra-budgetary funding in the form of voluntary contributions and the establishment of alternative financial management structures, such as a dedicated multi-donor trust fund.",

Furthermore, peace operations are often mandated in contexts where an agreement is yet to be reached or where a peace process is yet to be initiated or is only partially initiated. In non-mission contexts, requests from the Government for the UN to support DDR are made either when ceasefires are reached or when a peace agreement or a comprehensive peace agreement is signed.

Trust and commitment by the parties to the implementation of an agreement and minimum conditions of security are essential for the success of a DDR programme. Administratively, there is little difference between DDR programmes for armed forces and armed groups. Both may require the full registration of weapons and personnel, followed by the collection of information, referral and counselling that are needed before effective reintegration programmes can be put in place. The rightsizing of armed forces or police: Governments may request assistance to downsize or restructure their armies or police and supporting institutional infrastructure (salaries, benefits, basic services, etc.). Such processes contribute to security sector reform (SSR) (see IDDRS 6.10 on DDR and Security Sector Reform). DDR practitioners should work in close collaboration with SSR experts while planning reintegration support to former members of armed forces. The repatriation of foreign combatants and associated groups: Considering the regional dimensions of conflict, Governments may agree to assistance to repatriation. DDR programmes may need to become involved in repatriating national combatants and their civilian family members, as well as children associated with armed forces and groups who may have crossed an international border. Such repatriation needs to be in accordance with the principle of non-refoulement, as set out in international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law (see IDDRS 2.11 on The Legal Framework for UN DDR). While DDR programmes are primarily used to address the security challenges posed by members of armed forces and groups, provisions should be made for the inclusion of other groups (including civilians and youth at risk), depending on resources and local circumstances. National institutions should be supported to determine the policy on direct benefits and reintegration assistance during a DDR programme. Civilians and civil society groups in communities to which members of the abovementioned groups will return should be consulted during the planning and design phase of DDR programmes, as well as informed and supported in order to assist them to receive ex-combatants and their dependents/families during the reintegration phase.",

"Paragraph": "8.1 Voluntary Integrated DDR shall be a voluntary process for both armed forces and groups, both as organizations and individual (ex)combatants. Groups and individuals shall not be coerced to participate. This principle has become even more important, but contested, in contemporary conflict environments where the participation of some combatants in nationally, locally, or privately supported efforts is arguably involuntary, for example as a result of their capture on the battlefield or their being forced into a DDR programme under duress. Integrated DDR should not be conflated with military operations or counter-insurgency strategies. Although the UN does not generally engage in detention operations and DDR has traditionally been a voluntary process, the nature of conflict environments and the growing potential for overlap with State-led efforts countering violent extremism and counter-terrorism has increased the likelihood that the UN and other actors engaging in DDR may be faced with detention-related dilemmas. DDR practitioners should therefore pay particular attention to such questions when operating in complex conflict environments and seek legal advice if confronted with surrendered or captured combatants in overt military operations, or if there are any concerns regarding the voluntariness of persons participating in DDR. They should also be aware of requirements contained in Chapter VII resolutions of the Security Council that, among other things, call for Member States to bring terrorists to justice and oblige national authorities to ensure the prosecution of suspected terrorists as appropriate (see IDDRS 2.11 on The Legal Framework for UN DDR).",

"Paragraph": "UN-supported integrated DDR processes promote the human rights of participants and the communities into which they integrate, and are conducted in line with international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law. The UN and its partners should be neutral, transparent and impartial, and should not take sides in any conflict or in political, racial, religious or ideological controversies, or give preferential treatment to different parties taking part in DDR. Neutrality within a rights-based approach should not, however, prevent UN personnel from protesting against or documenting human rights violations or taking some other action (e.g., advocacy, simple presence, political steps, local negotiations, etc.) to prevent them. Under the UN's Human Rights Due Diligence Policy (HRDDP), providers of support have a responsibility to monitor the related human rights context, to suspend support under certain circumstances and to engage with national authorities towards addressing violations. Where one or more parties or individuals violate agreements and undertakings, the UN can take appropriate remedial action and/or exclude individuals from DDR. Humanitarian aid must be delivered to all those who are suffering, according to their need, and human rights provide the framework on which an assessment of needs is based. However, mechanisms must also be designed to prevent those who have committed violations of human rights from going unpunished by ensuring that DDR programmes, related tools and reintegration support do not operate as a reward system for the worst violators. In many post-conflict situations, there is often a tension between reconciliation and justice, but efforts must be made to ensure that serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law by ex-combatants and their supporters are dealt with through appropriate national and international legal and/or transitional justice mechanisms. Children released from their association with armed forces and groups who have committed war crimes and mass violations of human rights may also be criminally responsible under national law, though any criminal responsibility must be in accordance with international juvenile justice standards and the International Criminal Court Policy on Children (see IDDRS 5.20 on Youth and DDR, and IDDRS 5.30 on Children and DDR). UN-supported DDR interventions should take into consideration local and international mechanisms for achieving justice and accountability, as well as respect for the rule of law, including any accountability, justice and reconciliation mechanisms that may be established with respect to crimes committed in a particular Member State.

Funding mechanisms, including trust funds, pooled funding, etc., and the criteria established for the use of funds shall be flexible. Past experience has shown that assigning funds exclusively for specific DDR components (e.g., disarmament and demobilization) or expenditures (e.g., logistics and equipment) sets up an artificial distinction between the different elements of a DDR programme and makes it difficult to implement the programme in an integrated, flexible and dynamic way. The importance of planning and initiating reinsertion and reintegration support activities at the start of a DDR programme has become increasingly evident, so adequate financing for reintegration needs to be secured in advance. This should help to prevent delays or gaps in implementation that could threaten or undermine the programme\u2019s credibility and viability (see IDDRS 3.41 on Finance and Budgeting).",

Post-conflict stabilization and the establishment of immediate security are the overall goals of DDR, but integrated DDR also takes place in a wider recovery and reconstruction framework. While both short-term and long-term strategies should be developed in the planning phase, due to the dynamic and volatile conflict and post-conflict context, interventions must be flexible and adaptable. The UN aims to establish transparent mechanisms for the independent monitoring, oversight and evaluation of integrated DDR and its financing mechanisms. It also attempts to create an environment in which all stakeholders understand and are accountable for achieving broad objectives and implementing the details of integrated DDR processes, even if circumstances change. Many types of accountability are needed to ensure transparency, including: the commitment of the national authorities and the parties to a peace agreement or political framework to honour the agreements they have signed and implement DDR programmes in good faith; the accountability and transparency of all relevant actors in contexts where the preconditions for DDR are not in place and alternative DDR-related tools and reintegration support measures are implemented; the accountability of national and international implementing agencies to the five categories of persons who can become participants in DDR for the professional and timely carrying out of activities and delivery of services; the adherence of all parts of the UN system (missions, departments, agencies, programmes and funds) to IDDRS principles and guidance for designing and implementing DDR; the commitment of Member States and bilateral partners to provide timely political and financial support to integrated DDR processes. Although DDR practitioners should always aim to meet core commitments, setbacks and unforeseen events should be expected. Flexibility and contingency planning are therefore needed. It is essential to establish realistic goals and make reasonable promises to those involved, and to explain setbacks to stakeholders and participants in order to maintain their confidence and cooperation.",

National ownership ensures that DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support are informed by an understanding of the local context, the dynamics of the conflict, and the dynamics between ex-combatants and community members. Even when receiving financial and technical assistance from partners, it is the responsibility of national Governments to ensure coordination between government ministries and local government, between Government and national civil society, and between Government and external partners. In contexts where national capacity is weak, a Government exerts national ownership by building the capacity of its national institutions, by contributing to the integrated DDR process and by creating links to other peacebuilding and development initiatives. This is particularly important in the case of reintegration support, as measures should be designed as part of national development and recovery efforts. National and local capacity must be systematically developed, as follows: Creating national and local institutional capacity: A primary role of the UN is to supply technical assistance, training and financial support to national authorities to establish credible, capable, representative and sustainable national institutions and programmes. Such assistance should be based on an assessment and understanding of the particular context and the type of DDR activities to be implemented, including commitments to gender equality. Finding implementing partners: Besides national institutions, civil society is a key partner in DDR. The technical capacity and expertise of civil society groups will often need to be strengthened, particularly when conflict has diminished human and financial resources. Particular attention should be paid to supporting the capacity development of women\u2019s civil society groups to ensure equal participation as partners in DDR. Doing so will help to create a sustainable environment for DDR and to ensure its long-term success. Employing local communities and authorities: Local communities and authorities play an important role in ensuring the sustainability of DDR, particularly in support of reintegration and the implementation of DDR-related tools. Therefore, their capacities for strategic planning and programme and/or financial management must be strengthened. Local authorities and populations, ex-combatants and their dependents/families, and women and girls formerly associated with armed forces and groups shall all be involved in the planning, implementation and monitoring of integrated DDR processes. This is to ensure that the needs of both individuals and the community are addressed. Increased local ownership builds support for reintegration and reconciliation efforts and supports other local peacebuilding and recovery processes. As the above list shows, national ownership involves more than just central government leadership: it includes the participation of a broad range of State and non-State actors at national, provincial and local levels. Within the IDDRS framework, the UN supports the development of a national DDR strategy, not only by representatives of the various parties to the conflict, but also by civil society; and it encourages the active participation of affected communities and groups, particularly those formerly marginalized in DDR and post-conflict reconstruction processes, such as representatives of women\u2019s groups, children\u2019s advocates, people from minority communities, and persons with disabilities and chronic illness. In supporting national institutions, the UN, along with key international and regional actors, can help to ensure broad national ownership, adherence to international principles, credibility, transparency and accountability (see IDDRS 3.30 on National Institutions for DDR).",

Regularly updating this information, as well as population-specific surveys (e.g., with women associated with armed forces and groups), allows for DDR to adapt to changing circumstances (also see IDDRS 3.10 on Integrated Planning, IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design and IDDRS 3.30 on National Institutions for DDR). Internal and external monitoring and evaluation mechanisms must be established from the start to strengthen accountability within integrated DDR, ensure quality in the implementation and delivery of DDR activities and services, and allow for flexibility and adaptation of strategies and activities when required. Monitoring and evaluation should be based on an integrated approach to metrics, and produce lessons learned and best practices that will influence the further development of IDDRS policy and practice (see IDDRS 3.50 on Monitoring and Evaluation of DDR Programmes).",

"Paragraph": "Summary Successful international support of DDR processes demands considerable planning. Given the many different actors involved in the various stages of DDR processes and the complex links within DDR processes and with other conflict or post-conflict responses, integrated planning, effective coordination and coherent reporting arrangements are essential. Past experiences have highlighted the need for the various actors involved in planning and implementing DDR, and monitoring its impacts, to work together in a complementary way that avoids duplication of effort or competition for funds and other resources. This module provides guidance for conducting the strategic planning of international support to DDR processes. Such planning is anchored in established DDR principles and aims to strengthen national leadership and ownership. It begins with an integrated assessment of context, needs, capacities and mandates that provides the basis for the identification of the most appropriate DDR processes, the formulation of strategic approaches with clear objectives, and the determination of clear roles and responsibilities. Strategic planning shall be gender responsive and include a robust risk management element throughout the process, as well as a comprehensive outreach and communication dimension tailored to the relevant DDR audiences, in order to secure buy-in and enable implementation. The process should result in a comprehensive strategic plan of support, a DDR strategy, to which individual entities (UN peace operations; UN agencies, funds and programmes; national authorities/stakeholders; other Member States/donors; and implementing partners) contribute through their respective programmatic instruments (e.g., mission plans, country and programme documents).",

The scope of the module covers all DDR measures \u2013 jointly constituting a process \u2013 presented in IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR: DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support in all relevant contexts, including UN mission and non-mission settings, as well as in contexts where preconditions for DDR programmes do not exist. The planning process should be cognizant of the context, needs and capacities, and determine which types of interventions, or a combination thereof, are the most appropriate. In particular, this module provides guidance on: Situating the planning of DDR processes within the broader national and regional context; Undertaking analyses and assessments to provide data and evidence for strategic choices, and identifying knowledge gaps (discussed in greater detail in IDDRS 3.11 on Integrated Assessments for DDR); Identifying the appropriate DDR process, including the combination of measures to form such a process; Determining the goal of the DDR process; Determining strategic objectives and the most appropriate course of action to meet these objectives; Articulating, in general terms, roles and responsibilities and identifying the key programmatic and operational dimensions for implementation (see IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design); Embedding risk management in the planning process as a critical enabler of plan delivery; Designing a planning process that is both inclusive and rigorous, including using the most appropriate planning techniques at any given moment, and identifying the right planning products for the types of actions considered; and Determining and accessing the capacities and skills required to ensure an efficient, effective and integrated DDR planning process. This module provides guidance at the strategic planning level. More detailed coverage of the programming and monitoring and evaluation of DDR processes is found in IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design and IDDRS 3.50 on Monitoring and Evaluation of DDR, respectively.

"Paragraph": "3. Introduction The successful implementation of DDR processes often requires difficult compromises and trade-offs among various political, security, humanitarian, human rights and development considerations. It hinges on intense and careful coordination of interventions among a wide range of national and international actors across multiple phases and dimensions of DDR, all implemented under a clear, coherent and shared vision of what needs to happen and which objectives need to be met. It also entails a thorough understanding of context, interests and risks, as well as careful consideration of operational realities and requirements. Whatever the type of DDR process, the nature of DDR carries high risks for all those involved, from direct participants to beneficiaries, such as host communities, Governments, implementing actors and donors (see IDDRS 3.21 on DDR Process Stakeholders). For the UN and its partners, supporting Government-led DDR processes requires rigorous and inclusive planning, undertaken to achieve alignment between needs, expectations, objectives, DDR processes and approaches, roles and capacities. To ensure that DDR programmes effectively address the different experiences of men and women, and acknowledge the implications of gender identities in relation to violence, gender perspective needs to be mainstreamed and addressed as early as possible in the design and planning of DDR programmes. To ensure this, assessment teams shall deploy gender expertise, including both international and national gender experts, together with DDR experts. Methodology shall ensure the involvement of local experts, women\u2019s groups and organizations working for gender equality. Sufficient resources for translators, notetakers and other aids to equal participation shall be planned for in advance of field activities. The module\u2019s content and the guidance it provides are based on the recognition that planning DDR processes is a challenging task, for a number of reasons, including: The complexity and highly political sensitivities involved across all types of DDR processes (see IDDRS 2.20 on The Politics of DDR), which may at times translate into resistance or pressures during the planning phase, including the pressure to \u2018rush into doing\u2019 before proper planning has been undertaken. The diversity, complexity and fluidity of contexts in which DDR processes take place, including the evolving nature of conflicts. The absence of reliable information required to implement DDR processes adequately (e.g., exact number of combatants or weapons). The number of national and international actors that need to be involved in or consulted during the planning phase. Competing priorities within DDR processes and beyond, and the political, financial and technical pressures that emanate from these competing priorities. The unique political challenges often posed by addressing the specific needs of men, women, boys and girls, as well as marginalized groups, and the additional human and financial resources required to ensure the planning process is gender responsive. The need to identify, analyse and manage links between DDR processes and many other crisis and conflict management, peacebuilding and sustaining peace imperatives (e.g., security sector reform [SSR], conflict recovery and reconstruction, poverty alleviation and promotion of gender equality). It is important for actors involved in planning DDR to be aware of the challenges and to formulate strategic planning that recognizes and, to the extent possible, manages them. These challenges do not dissipate once the planning is over. Many carry over into the implementation phase. Therefore, strategic planning must establish adequate controls, in the form of risk management measures, for implementation. The module therefore places particular focus on strategic planning for risk management.",

There is considerable diversity in how individuals and groups understand, experience and express gender through the roles they take on, the expectations placed on them, their relations with others and the complex ways that gender is institutionalized in the strategic planning phase. Integrating gender in DDR requires that during strategic planning, practitioners take account of the specific needs of girls, women, men and boys with respect to both biological/sex differences and sociocultural gender differences, as well as the capacities they bring and contributions they can make. All DDR processes should be planned in a manner that promotes gender equality and should be grounded in a rights-based approach.

Both the timing and the duration of DDR planning are context specific, but the rationale for both should be carefully considered and clearly communicated to all relevant actors. Participation: DDR planning shall be inclusive and reflective of the diversity of interests, needs and capacities. Hence, a clear plan for outreach and engagement strategies must be defined at the outset of the strategic planning phase (see section 9 and IDDRS 3.21 on DDR Process Stakeholders for specific guidance). This plan shall include who needs to be engaged and when, to prepare accordingly (including to secure the right capacity at the right time) and transparently communicate expectations of engagement. Roles and responsibilities: To manage expectations and transaction costs, roles and responsibilities shall be defined at the outset with relation to specific planning functions, including, in particular, analysis and data collection, outreach coordination, communication, stress testing, drafting and finalization/approval.",

"Paragraph": "6.1 Pre-analysis: Situating the DDR planning process The first step in developing a strategic plan for potential DDR processes is to situate the planning exercise at four levels: Moment: Why is strategic planning required now (e.g., UN Security Council mandate, peace agreement, specific Government request, changes on the ground)? Situating in the moment provides the authorizing framework(s) to guide planning. Scope: Based on the authorizing frameworks, are there predetermined boundaries to the strategic planning? These can be geographical (e.g., DDR processes across the entire country or in targeted locations), temporal, process specific (e.g., reintegration) and/or beneficiary specific. Audience: To whom will the strategic plan apply? Considering the nature of DDR processes, and the need for coherent approaches across a wide range of actors, strategic plans should provide for unity of effort to all relevant DDR actors, both national and international, who will then translate the plan into entity-specific programmes (see IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design). However, in some cases, the strategic plan may not apply to all actors. It is therefore important to clarify the plan\u2019s audience at the outset. Other plans: The relationship between the DDR strategic plan and other national and international plans must be clarified at the outset. At the national level, in particular, relevant plans with which the DDR planning process should be harmonized include national development, United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks (UNSDCF) peacebuilding and recovery plans, sectoral plans, and possible action plans to end and prevent grave violations against children. In contexts where a UN peace operation is deployed or being considered, it is important to align DDR planning with UN mission planning requirements and timelines, notably the timing and content relationship between: The DDR assessment and the UN systemwide strategic and technical assessments; and The DDR strategic plan and the Secretary-General\u2019s report to the UN Security Council.",

"Paragraph": "7. Design of a DDR strategy \u2013 general guidance Based on the assessments, as described in section 6 above and in IDDRS 3.11 on Integrated Assessments for DDR, the design of a DDR strategy should follow a structured planning phase, focusing on the intersection between what is needed and what can be done. What is needed combines the situation on the ground and what is being requested (by Government, the Security Council, etc.). What can be done is determined by capacities (human and financial, existing and to be mobilized) and red lines (see IDDRS 2.11 on The Legal Framework for DDR and IDDRS 2.30 on Community Violence Reduction). The intersection between these two dimensions provides the framework for the DDR process. Within this framework, DDR practitioners should follow the sequence of steps outlined below. Step 1 It is important to make the rationale for the type of DDR process very explicit, linking it to the nature of the problem(s) and explaining why the selected process is the most appropriate under the current context (see IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR). (Note: DDR planning is susceptible to cognitive bias risk, whereby solutions that were implemented in another context are replicated because the two environments share similar features. Basing the planning as much as possible on a detailed analysis of the target country/context [see IDDRS 3.11 on Integrated Assessments for DDR] should help overcome this bias.) When selecting DDR processes, it is often useful for DDR practitioners to articulate alternatives and explore why they would not be viable and appropriate solutions to the identified problem(s). A planner should also keep in mind that, if a diligent planning process leads to the conclusion not to pursue DDR in a given context, that is a valid planning recommendation. Step 2 It is important to determine the scale and scope of the DDR process, notably with regard to geographical location, and definition, type and number of potential participants and beneficiaries. If relevant, the planning should define any prioritization of location and/or participants and beneficiaries. For armed groups, for example, prioritization should be based on their involvement in or potential to cause violence, or otherwise affect security and the peace process (where relevant). Groups with specific needs, such as women, men, persons with disabilities and persons with chronic illnesses, should be explicitly identified. Step 3 The critical step of establishing roles and responsibilities must cover all relevant national and international actors in the DDR process. IDDRS 3.21 on DDR Process Stakeholders and IDDRS 3.30 on National Ownership and National Institutions in DDR should be used for guidance. Roles and responsibilities will be different in mission and non-mission settings. The objective is to determine, as explicitly as possible, the nature of the roles and responsibilities. In a DDR process, such roles will vary greatly, and include policymaking, strategic oversight, direct implementation, funding, logistics, advocacy, communication and/or monitoring. Roles and responsibilities should be determined on the basis of mandates and capacities (including track record in country, if relevant, which should be examined as part of the assessment). As such, the planning should outline specific expected roles and responsibilities of all relevant actors, beyond DDR-specific institutions, such as institutions and partners providing access to social services (psychosocial, health, education, etc.). This step is the opportunity to: Define the roles of all stakeholders, including vulnerable groups, as decision-makers in the process. Enable each stakeholder to prepare accordingly, and to identify any capacity-building needs or other type of support that may be required prior to implementation, in addition to any capacity-building activities during implementation (see IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR\u2013 for further guidance).

"Paragraph": "8. Risk management \u2013 general guidance The implementation of DDR processes carries significant risks to all actors involved, from direct participants to donors, especially in contexts where there is active conflict. Therefore, planning such processes must include a robust risk management dimension, to ensure that all potential risks are identified and addressed both before and during implementation. The planning of DDR lends itself well to robust risk management in three ways: 1. The implementation focus: Risk management must be understood and used as an enabler of delivery, and not as a constraint or a restriction. As such, risk management reinforces the focus on implementation that drives DDR planning. 2. The consultation premium: Exposure to and comparison of different perspectives and worldviews on what constitutes a risk are necessary conditions of sound risk management. The breadth and depth of consultations required for risk management is consistent with the consultative process that underpins DDR planning. 3. The imperative of coordination and mutual accountability: In many areas, different risks involve different risk owners, and risk responses are often interrelated. These connections are particularly salient in DDR processes, with many actors responsible for managing separate but interdependent aspects of the DDR process; proper risk management therefore involves a degree of coordination and mutual accountability that can strengthen collective DDR efforts.",

"Paragraph": "8.1 Standard risk management steps As with many other fields, the general approach to risk management in DDR planning should follow the general methodology provided by International Standards Organization 31000 on Risk Management. It consists of a simple but structured set of questions that can be summarized as follows: What is the context in which the DDR process is occurring? What are the objectives of the DDR process? What are the risks to the DDR process? What are the risk drivers? What is the level of each risk, as a function of the likelihood and consequence of its materializing? What are the right risk treatment measures for each risk, and are they already in place? Who owns each risk treatment measure? In following this structured line of inquiry, DDR planners should consider three critical dimensions: Specificity As DDR processes involve many actors and dimensions, it is important to be as specific as possible when identifying risks. Such specificity enables the identification of the right treatment measures and the most appropriate risk treatment owner. In particular, the plan should be as specific as possible in addressing the questions \u2018risk of what?\u2019 and \u2018risk to?\u2019 and should articulate the answers to both in straightforward risk statements. Example: The provision of reintegration support to identified participants and communities results in increased security threats (risk of) to DDR staff (risk to); the provision of cash to eligible recipients may trigger violent reactions from other individuals/communities. The specificity of the risk statement allows for specificity in the analysis of risk drivers (e.g., what generates the risks of and risks to). In the example, the risk drivers may include weaknesses in eligibility criteria and/or perceptions of unequal treatment by other communities. In turn, the more specific the risk drivers, the more specific and effective the treatment measures can be. In this example, appropriate ways to address the risk may include the provision of additional expertise to review the selection criteria, strengthening communication to other communities, and/or increasing security measures for DDR staff. These measures can reduce either the likelihood of the risk or the severity of its impact. A similar degree of specificity should apply to the owners of the treatment measures. For example, rather than assigning one risk treatment to the \u2018Government\u2019 or the \u2018UN\u2019, a DDR strategic plan should, to the extent possible, name the Government ministry or institution or the UN unit or entity that should treat the risk. Unintended consequences Risk management brings DDR trade-offs into sharp relief. For DDR practitioners, risk treatment measures often generate new, or \u2018second order\u2019, risks. For example, the increase in security measures (e.g., removing DDR staff from certain locations) will incur other risks, such as fiduciary risks, if the DDR process includes a transfer of financial resources in these locations, and/or programmatic risks if fewer capacities are on the ground to monitor if \u2018harm\u2019 is being done. Hence, in planning DDR processes and risk treatment measures, DDR practitioners should anticipate such second-order risks and establish systems for their proper monitoring.",

These include: The context analysis: At this initial stage, the intent is to begin identifying broad categories of risk factors (e.g., security, political dynamics) that may affect potential DDR processes. DDR planners should record them for further refinement later in the process. Design: As the DDR process is being formulated, a risk register can be gradually developed for each of the DDR process\u2019s strategic objectives, and for the overall process. For example, as mentioned in section 7, the definition of roles and responsibilities may reveal potential reluctance or resistance to the plan, which needs to be addressed prior to finalization. Finalization: Once all the elements of the process are brought together, the entire plan should be reviewed for risks. A stress-testing exercise should be conducted (see section 11). Implementation: Given the complexity of DDR processes, identified risks should be monitored throughout implementation, notably, through trend analyses of risk drivers (e.g., are the factors that generate risk increasing in intensity, in frequency?). Implementation will also inevitably yield previously unforeseen risks. As such, DDR practitioners should regularly create risk assessment moments to review existing risks and explore new ones, based on wide consultations.",

"Paragraph": "9. Outreach \u2013 general guidance In any DDR planning process, the intent of outreach is to enable implementation by developing and strengthening wide support for the planned process, while reducing potential resistance. At the very beginning of the planning process, DDR practitioners shall therefore determine who needs to be engaged, when and for what purpose (see IDDRS 4.60 on Public Information and Strategic Communication in Support of DDR). The range of actors who need to engage in the planning should be broad and reflect the various needs, roles and capacities found in DDR processes. DDR practitioners should follow guidance provided in IDDRS 3.21 on DDR Process Stakeholders to make such determinations, including the potential interests of each actor. The outreach should have a specific purpose, which should be communicated clearly and effectively to each actor. To determine the purpose, DDR practitioners should use the following typology of engagement strategies as a guide: Information sharing: In some instances, an actor just needs to be provided the information about the DDR process being planned in order to understand it and support it. Joint fact-finding: In this case, an actor\u2019s buy-in can be secured by being involved in the analysis and data collection that underpins the planned DDR process. Consultation: Under a consultation, an actor is solicited for his/her views on the plan (or aspects thereof). It is important to clarify that the final version of the plan may not include all or any of the inputs solicited. Failure to do so may increase resistance to the plan. Agreement: In this case, the actor\u2019s formal approval is being sought for the plan to be finalized. Without such an agreement, the plan cannot move to implementation. In the broad constellation of DDR constituents, several will just need information. Others (e.g., national DDR commission, key donor, etc.) will require a formal agreement. For many, consultations are often sufficient, as long as they are conducted meaningfully and transparently at key moments of the planning process, including as the plan is being finalized. The determination of which engagement approach is most appropriate is context specific, but it shall account for a number of principles, including national ownership and the people-centred imperative, and other considerations such as the actor\u2019s expected role in the implementation of the DDR process(s) and ability to enable or undermine their success. Note on outreach risk: For the UN and its partners, the planning of DDR processes is often conducted under circumstances of high political pressure and expectations. DDR practitioners must manage expectations and avoid making promises to any actor, and must conduct such outreach with explicit references to the overarching principles that guide DDR processes, as articulated in IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR and in this module.",

"Paragraph": "10.1 Content of the DDR strategy The development of the DDR strategy should take into account the possible existence of a higher-level document, such as a national DDR policy that may have been adopted, in certain legal systems, as a legislative act. The national DDR strategy will build on such a policy document, making sure to avoid overlaps and to provide strategic guidance to the development of programme documents (see IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design). To ensure wide buy-in for implementation and guide the development of more specific programmes, a DDR strategic plan should always provide the following minimum information, based on the process described in sections 6 and 7: 1. Summary of context and the rationale for a DDR strategy: This should include the authorizing frameworks (e.g., Security Council mandate, peace agreement, UNSDCF, etc.) for the DDR processes. 2. The universal and context-specific principles that underpin the strategy: activities. Universal (general) principles should be included (see IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR), but principles that are specific to the operating context and associated requirements should also be reflected. 3. The terminology, assumptions, evidence and data on which the strategy has been developed: Data gaps should be acknowledged, and the plan should articulate the impact of these gaps on strategic choices made and initiatives to address them. 4. The planned DDR process(s) organized around the DDR process: For each DDR measure, the strategy must formulate clear strategic objectives and common results, strategic implementation approaches to be used (including sequencing) and links with other DDR processes (e.g., SSR, mediation, economic development). 5. Main roles and responsibilities of national and international actors, and overall governance and coordination arrangements for the implementation and monitoring of the strategy: Where relevant, this section should explain the links between roles and areas/sources of support required by any actor. 6.

Funding framework: Based on an overall cost estimate, this should present anticipated sources of funding, disaggregated for each DDR measure, per strategic objectives and common results at a minimum. 8. Communication: The strategy should articulate the main communication principles, actions, audiences and messages, as well as roles and responsibilities; these will then be developed in the dedicated communication strategy (see IDDRS 4.60 on Public Information and Strategic Communication in Support of DDR). 9. Shared results framework: For the highest-level objectives, such as goal (impact) or outcomes, the document should include disaggregated results indicators, with baselines and targets, and means of verification (see IDDRS 3.50 on Monitoring and Evaluation of DDR for more details); this will become a seed for the results-based framework to be further developed as part of the programme design (see IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design). 10. Strategic plan risk register: As presented in section 8, the plan should acknowledge limitations and gaps and the treatment measures to address them. 11. Review process: Considering the risks inherent to DDR processes and the fluid environment in which DDR processes take place, the plan should clearly outline the time frame for regular reviews, and how these reviews will be organized (participants, methodology).",

"Paragraph": "11. General guidance for the finalization of strategic planning Planning DDR processes shall conclude with the following steps: Stress test Stress testing is a planning technique and moment that should be undertaken shortly before the end of the process, but with sufficient lag time before the plan is to be concluded to incorporate outcomes of the stress test into the final version. Under a stress test, a team of individuals, convened under a personal capacity, reviews the plan and subjects it to a number of \u2018hard questions\u2019. The purpose is to identify outstanding gaps, weaknesses and risks and to sharpen, if need be, the plan\u2019s logic and objectives. In other words, it provides an opportunity to improve the plan before implementation. For this exercise to work, it is important to convene a stress test team of four to five impartial individuals, without any vested interest in the content of the plan. As a team, these individuals should combine DDR process expertise with knowledge of the context and strategic planning skills. Conducted in a workshop format, in the presence of UN staff and partners who have developed the plan, the stress test team should interrogate the plan along the following dimensions: Robustness of contextual analysis and of evidence, data and assumptions used; Consistency between the analysis/assessment and the choice of DDR process, and the strategic objectives chosen; Suitability of the plan to context, and adaptability to different scenarios; Implementability of the plan, including resources, capacities, logistics, buy-in of actors and evaluability; Adherence of the plan to DDR principles and normative obligations, including gender, human rights and conflict sensitivity/do no harm; and Alternative courses of action. DDR practitioners engaged in DDR planning may also choose to conduct multiple stress test exercises throughout the process; however, for these exercises to be useful, a reasonably comprehensive draft of the plan must be available. The decision to incorporate the findings and observations of the stress test team into the final version lies with the DDR practitioners in charge of the plan. 2. Communication Communicating the DDR plan is an essential part of its finalization. In doing so, DDR practitioners must follow the specific guidance in IDDRS 4.60 on Public Information and Strategic Communication in Support of DDR, notably regarding adopting contextually and culturally appropriate means of communication and ensuring accessibility by the populations and communities most affected by the plan. Communication efforts must focus on transparency and accuracy, to avoid creating unrealistic expectations. To this end, how the plan is communicated, including local translations, must be closely managed to ensure that what is being said about the plan conforms with what is in it. Reactions to the plan should be closely monitored to identify potential risks of resistance and other obstacles to implementation. Careful consideration should be given to potential misperceptions and/or manipulation of the plan, its intent and content. Communicating the plan broadly and transparently to all concerned actors also serves to reinforce the principle of mutual accountability for its success. 3. Programmatic translation The finalization of a DDR process plan marks the activation of the next phase, in which the plan is translated into more specific programmes and their work plans, with detailed timelines and budgets. Guidance for both the process and content of such programmes is provided in IDDRS 3.20 on DDR Programme Design. As articulated in section 5, many programmatic elements can be developed as the strategic plan is being designed. However, in the timeline to actual implementation, some space must be created between finalization of the plan and implementation, during which specific programmes can be completed with additional programmatic and operational details. This time lag must also account for any need to mobilize resources before implementation.",

Whole of UN and Whole of Practitioner approach: While there should clarity on the entity (and individuals) that will lead and coordinate the planning phase, it should be structured in a manner that provides a meaningful role for all UN entities, partners and Government institutions that may be expected to have a role in the process. In contexts where there is a UN mission with a DDR unit, the UN\u2019s engagement in the planning should not be confined to that unit; expertise from other units (including the political unit, legal, security sector reform, human rights, gender, child protection, mission support/logistics, the UN Mine Action Service, etc.) should be included. A number of UN agencies, funds and programmes need to contribute as providers of analytical inputs and normative advice, and/or as implementing entities. In contexts without a UN peace operation, the planning effort should avail itself of support from all relevant UN entities, including those in the Secretariat. It shall always ensure the inclusion of legal and dedicated normative expertise, notably in the areas of human rights, child protection and gender, sourced in-country or from regional and global offices. 2. Strong links with operations: DDR processes require careful and thorough consideration of operational requirements. Depending on the type of DDR process, dedicated planning capacities may be required for security, camp management, transportation and supply management. The planning team must also include expertise in funding instruments and resource mobilization.",

"Paragraph": "12.1 Structures The structures required for planning DDR processes are a function of the UN configuration in-country. If the planning is undertaken as part of the deployment of a new UN mission, the structures used for planning the DDR process and developing a strategic plan for DDR processes should follow the guidance provided by the Integrated Assessment and Planning Policy of 2013. DDR considerations will first be embedded in a strategic assessment mission, bringing together the entire UN system (from headquarters and as representatives of the UN country team). In most cases, and following the adoption of the mandate by the Security Council, a specific DDR technical assessment team may be deployed to further elaborate the DDR plan. For both the strategic and technical assessments, the principles of inclusivity and transparency shall be followed. Governments, communities, other relevant national actors and donors should be fully engaged, and, where and when capacities exist, national authorities should lead the process. Similarly, the UN country team should, at all times, participate in the planning process, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator. Once the UN mission is deployed, the focus of any subsequent planning must reside in-country. For the UN, the relevant units of the UN peace operation and the members of the UN country team work jointly through a dedicated DDR task force. Headquarters-level support and engagement in the planning are undertaken by integrated task forces according to integrated assessment planning principles and approaches. In contexts without a UN mission, planning for DDR processes must always be situated in-country, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator and with all relevant UN entities supported by their respective regional or global DDR expertise. In line with the reform of the UN development system, non-resident entities, as well as relevant Secretariat entities, should be included in DDR planning efforts. In all contexts, and wherever feasible, the design of the UN and its partners\u2019 responses to national DDR efforts should be undertaken on the basis of joint planning structures. To minimize transaction costs, DDR practitioners may want to organize the planning process around three generic structures: A broad steering committee, with Government and key stakeholders (notably donors) to build the political and financial support for the outcome of the planning process; actors in related sectors (e.g., SSR, mediation, economic recovery) may be brought in periodically to ensure adequate linkages with the DDR planning process. A small core planning team or secretariat, to undertake the day-to-day planning work, including the analysis, with clear lines of communication with national counterparts. A more informal consultative mechanism (which can be replicated at local or regional levels, or divided into different stakeholders) to solicit perspectives, feedback and inputs; this mechanism can enable informal outreach to other, higher-risk parties (e.g., non-signatory groups) and gauge their positioning in relation to the envisioned processes.",

"Paragraph": "Summary DDR and security sector reform (SSR) are inherently political processes that, in a post-conflict environment, are typically closely linked. However, there are important differences in the focus, scope and timeline of DDR and SSR processes. While DDR focuses on finding solutions for armed groups and their members in conflict-affected and post-conflict contexts that have seen high levels of military mobilization, SSR processes aim to develop and rebuild a wide range of institutions, processes and mechanisms that would re-establish the functioning of an effective and accountable security sector under the control and oversight of a civilian government and institutions. There are many points of natural intersection between DDR and SSR. DDR processes are typically linked to SSR through the integration of former combatants into the security sector in the context of a peace agreement. Equally, DDR-related tools, including community violence reduction (CVR) and transitional weapons and ammunition management (WAM), can provide bottom-up, people-centred complements to top-down SSR processes. Finally, reintegration support can also be provided to former combatants who wish to enter the security sector but are found to be ineligible or for integration into security institutions. The most prominent linkage between DDR and SSR in post-conflict contexts is to be found in integration processes. It is generally accepted that the failure or relative success of any integration process will have a significant impact on the durability of peace accords and the probability of relapse into conflict. When considering the linkage between DDR and SSR, DDR practitioners shall always seek to understand national and local aspirations, as expressed through political dialogue, rather than attempt to impose externally defined and developed processes on national actors. DDR practitioners shall seek to integrate SSR issues into DDR assessments and, as DDR and SSR often operate on different timescales, shall ensure that DDR processes are undertaken in ways that do not hinder or block subsequent or future security sector reform. One example is the support to the establishment of transitional security arrangements that primarily involve former combatants and that are intended to pave the way for long-term security institutions and governance arrangements. Experience has shown that support to the establishment of temporary and transitional security arrangements, in particular, has to be carefully balanced against the need to use limited political and financial resources to reach sustainable political and security solutions. Equally, practitioners need to ensure that demands of armed groups that are deemed to reflect root causes of the conflict, such as political and economic exclusion, abuse and discrimination stemming from the security sector, are accounted for when designing the SSR process. The failure of any integration process can significantly impact post-conflict environments by threatening peace and security, and the durability of peace accords. Importantly, when discussing opportunities involved in DDR with former or current members of armed forces and groups, including women, men, and youth, DDR practitioners shall not imply any individual entitlement to integration into the security sector, especially not merely because of the individual\u2019s status as a former member of an armed force or group. Instead, DDR practitioners should be aware of the existing legal and policy framework, and ensure that they understand the status of the SSR process and how it may or may not relate to demands, grievances and/or questions raised by armed groups. Integration processes are typically based on political agreements. Yet DDR-related tools are sometimes undertaken in the absence of such agreements \u2013 making it challenging to develop the right linkages to the SSR process. Even where political agreements exist, provisions on integration and related rights/entitlements of former combatants are often vague and may require additio

A complete glossary of all the terms, definitions and abbreviations used in the IDDRS series is given in IDDRS 1.20. In the IDDRS series, the words \u2018shall\u2019, \u2018should\u2019, \u2018may\u2019, \u2018can\u2019 and \u2018must\u2019 are used to indicate the intended degree of compliance with the standards laid down. This use is consistent with the language used in the International Organization for Standardization standards and guidelines: a) \u2018shall\u2019 is used to indicate requirements, methods or specifications that are to be applied in order to conform to the standard; b) \u2018should\u2019 is used to indicate the preferred requirements, methods or specifications; c) \u2018may\u2019 is used to indicate a possible method or course of action; d) \u2018can\u2019 is used to indicate a possibility and capability; e) \u2018must\u2019 is used to indicate an external constraint or obligation. Integrated DDR processes are composed of different combinations of DDR programmes, DDR-related tools and reintegration support (see IDDRS 2.10 on The UN Approach to DDR). Security sector is a broad term often used to describe the structures, institutions and personnel responsible for the management, provision and oversight of security in a country. It is generally accepted that the security sector includes defence, law enforcement, corrections, intelligence services and institutions responsible for border management, customs and civil emergencies. Elements of the judicial sector responsible for the adjudication of cases of alleged criminal conduct and misuse of force are, in many instances, also included. Furthermore, the security sector includes actors that play a role in managing and overseeing the design of security, such as ministries, legislative bodies and civil society groups. Other non-State actors that could be considered part of the security sector include customary or informal authorities and private security services. Security sector reform describes a process of assessment, review and implementation, as well as monitoring and evaluation, led by national authorities that has as its goal the enhancement of effective and accountable security for the State and its peoples without discrimination and with full respect for human rights and the rule of law. Integration into the security sector refers to the process through which former members of armed forces and groups are incorporated into the national security structures and institutions responsible for the management, provision and oversight of security in a country. Rightsizing occurs when the number of personnel within the security sector is adapted (increased or reduced) to match the needs of the security sector, as defined through national consultations and assessments.",

"Paragraph": "3. Introduction The provision of security is a core function of the State. However, in some contexts, the statutory security sector is not able to protect the population against threats, and may marginalize, exclude or even prey on the very populations it is entrusted to protect. If the national security sector is corrupt, non-inclusive, unresponsive, incoherent, ineffective, inefficient and/or unaccountable to the public, the sector may be considered among the root causes of conflict \u2013 and, as such, could also be among the factors that led to the emergence of armed groups. In a post-conflict context, security sector reform offers an opportunity to address shortcomings of the security sector that may have contributed to the conflict and that increase the risk that the country will relapse into conflict if not addressed. \t It is important to understand the overarching political framework that will define and drive DDR and SSR processes, and the entry points as well as limitations that these frameworks present for addressing DDR- and SSR-related challenges. Relevant political and security frameworks, agreements, strategies and plans will typically also define the way in which DDR and SSR processes interlink in that particular context. In (post-)conflict settings where a peace agreement was signed or a political settlement reached, the agreement will typically outline the objectives, scope and possibly timelines of DDR and SSR processes. DDR may contribute to SSR and vice versa; neither is a prerequisite for the other, and SSR and DDR processes often operate on different timelines. Yet, while certain aspects of the SSR and/or DDR process may be defined in detail, sensitive provisions that link DDR to SSR, such as the integration of combatants into the security sector, are often left to further negotiation, while only temporary and transitional security arrangements are defined in the peace agreement. It is important to keep in mind that nationally led SSR processes will result in national decisions on the mandate, structure and composition of security sector institutions. National SSR decisions will typically be reflected in national security policies, strategies and legislation and will effectively translate (often vague) SSR provisions from peace agreements into national policy and legal frameworks. This is a deeply political process that will unfold over the course of many years and that has the potential to transform the power relations and representation of societal groups in the security sector over time. If political and security-related demands made by armed forces and groups that were contained in the political and/or peace agreement preceding the national SSR process are not sufficiently integrated into the SSR process, this may pose a significant risk for relapse into conflict. Therefore, it is critical that UN DDR, SSR and political experts \u2013 in cooperation with key partners \u2013 maintain close dialogue and coordinate to ensure that UN support is targeted at addressing structural risks within the security sector. For armed groups and their members, this will often be expressed in exclusion and underrepresentation in the security sector and lack of access to associated economic benefits. Keeping with the principle that UN support must be guided by the primacy of political solutions when designing UN support strategies, the linkages between DDR and SSR will be presented in two large categories. First, section 5 will consider the issues that are most directly linked to the peace process and have the highest impact on advancing the political process, reconciliation and sustainable peace. These issues revolve around implementing provisions of the peace agreement and ensuring that the SSR process results in more inclusive, accountable and responsive institutions. The second set of issues, addressed in section 6, deals with programmatic tools and approaches (employed by DDR and SSR practitioners) that present important entry points for institutional reform and bui

"Paragraph": "4.2.1 Criteria for participation/eligibility When a DDR programme is linked to SSR, male and female former members of armed forces and groups shall only be integrated into the reformed security sector if they are vetted and meet the designated integration criteria (see section 6.5). A former member of an armed force or group shall not be integrated into security sector institutions merely because of his or her status as a former member of an armed force or group. It should be noted that integration is sometimes organized within the framework of broader recruitment campaigns, whereby certain quotas are assigned for those who are being integrated during each recruitment campaign. The criteria for those to be integrated in the framework of a recruitment campaign may differ from those of regular recruits. The primacy of politics and need to address the root causes of conflict, such as exclusion, should take precedence, and technicalities should not be cited to prevent the integration of former combatants that has been agreed to at the political level. Understanding the vital role that females can play in the security sector is paramount to successful, inclusive SSR processes, and to the full representation of women in the security sector in support of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). Integration processes should therefore ensure the eligibility of women, and include outreach and sensitization to ensure they are aware of their options and eligibility. SSR practitioners and support to SSR programs should ensure reformed security institutions provide fair and equal treatment to female personnel, including their special security and protection needs. Security sector reform takeholders should pay particular attention to children. Children shall not be recruited into security sector institutions. When undertaking security sector reforms, States shall mainstream child protection, including through the inclusion of child protection in military training and standard operating procedures, as well as through the establishment of child protection units and focal points in their national security forces and the strengthening of effective age assessment mechanisms to prevent underage recruitment into security sector institutions (see IDDRS 5.20 on Children and DDR). Members of armed forces and groups who have been involved in the commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and/or gross human rights violations shall not be eligible for recruitment into the security sector, including when DDR programmes are linked to SSR (see IDDRS 2.11 on The Legal Framework for UN DDR).",

"Paragraph": "4.2.2 Unconditional release and protection of children All child recruitment or use by armed groups is illegal under international law, as is all use of children in hostilities, conscription by State armed forces or voluntary recruitment under the age of 18 without minimum safeguards. The recruitment and use of children under 15 by armed forces and groups may amount to a war crime. There is significant international consensus that the recruitment of children under 18 years old is inconsistent with international standards on child protection. This is expressed in a comprehensive set of international legal instruments, including the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict and the Rome Statute, and is reinforced by a series of Security Council resolutions. For a detailed normative and legal framework, see IDDRS 5.20 on Children and DDR. Efforts to prevent the recruitment and use of children by armed forces and groups should be a primary consideration during all DDR and SSR processes, irrespective of the stage of the conflict or status of peace negotiations. When a DDR programme is linked to SSR, children associated with armed forces and groups shall not be included in troop numbers because their presence is illegal, and including them may encourage further recruitment of children in the period before peace negotiations. Negotiations on DDR, SSR and force reduction shall include the unconditional and immediate release of all children associated with armed forces and groups. Progress should be made by armed forces and groups on child release before SSR processes are initiated, and the requirement that children be released without precondition prior to negotiation on integration into armed forces and/or the security sector should be stipulated and enforced to discourage their recruitment. The mechanisms and structures for the release and reintegration of children shall be set up as soon as possible. Children associated with armed forces and groups should be treated separately from adult combatants. They should benefit from special protection and assistance measures that are gender and age appropriate. They should be regarded and treated as victims, regardless of how they were recruited, and their best interests need to be a primary consideration. International legal standards pertaining to children shall be applied (see more in IDDRS 5.20 on Children and DDR).",

Women\u2019s presence will also increase the responsiveness to the concerns of the entire population. The increased participation of women in security sector institutions has been shown to improve these institutions\u2019 functioning in areas such as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) reporting rates, intelligence gathering and the treatment of female witnesses, victims and suspects. The involvement of women and women\u2019s groups from civil society in the SSR processes that accompany and follow DDR should also be deliberately planned from the start.

Advice to mediation should highlight the importance of including inclusive as well as age- and gender-responsive DDR and SSR language in the peace agreement. When the integration of male and female former members of armed forces and groups into the security sector is being considered, mediators or those providing advice to them should, if the political circumstances of the negotiations permit, encourage the inclusion of specific provisions in the peace agreement outlining the broad parameters of integration, including considering specific quotas for females and requiring vetting and personnel reform of the security sector. Such provisions place an unambiguous obligation on the negotiating parties that is difficult to later circumvent. Importantly, the explicit commitment to include women in the security sector may create an entry point to incorporate other underrepresented social groups and enhance the inclusivity of security institutions and their responsiveness to the needs of a diverse population.",

This is important for SSR and DDR practitioners who are assessing the security sector with a view to developing options for SSR and DDR in conflict settings. As the Secretary-General noted, armed groups need to be considered part of security sector governance alongside other actors, even though they are not part of the statutory security sector. Understanding the role of armed groups in local, regional and national security dynamics is critical to developing realistic and sustainable options for SSR. Where armed groups play a strong role in the protection of specific ethnic and/or religious communities, mediation should focus on political and economic governance issues and their intersection with the security sector. Focusing on the composition of security institutions alone may not address underlying drivers of insecurity and conflict. Understanding the nature of insecurity and gaps in the overall institutional architecture is important and may facilitate agreements that go beyond the military and police. Considering the need for establishing people-centred security is important for strengthening the resilience of local communities and facilitating their capacity development to address fires, natural disasters, health emergencies, etc. Recognition of these needs may trigger the establishment of new institutions or lead to orienting existing ones towards peacetime tasks.",

"Paragraph": "5.5 Ensuring that DDR/SSR questions are linked to political and economic chapters of the peace agreement The key dilemma faced by parties when negotiating SSR provisions of a peace agreement in many cases has to do with the long-term nature of reforming and developing a new security sector architecture. DDR, on the other hand, typically has a shorter time horizon, and there may be pressure to implement DDR early on, even when necessary preconditions are not in place. Therefore, an important question for mediators is how much detail on SSR/DDR is sufficient to facilitate the transition from conflict to sustained peace, and if/how those processes should be sequenced, including in relation to broader political processes. If we accept that an imperfect peace agreement is better than none, it is reasonable to omit specificities on SSR in favor of general commitments that reforms will ensure transformative outcomes, such as inclusiveness, democratic oversight and accountability. Increasingly, the practice has been that questions about the future of the security sector are assigned to technical bodies to deliberate and develop options, including on questions of integration of former combatants, for political leaders\u2019 decision-making. While this may indeed be the only option available to mediators in some circumstances, it is important to consider possible challenges for the peace process.",

"Paragraph": "5.6 Defining the role and mandate of technical commissions and bodies with planning and mediation mandates in the peace process and beyond Practice has shown that technical commissions created to develop proposals and reach agreement on outstanding questions of the SSR process often fail to deliver satisfactory agreements even after years of deliberations. The indication of clear timelines and targets for the work of SSR- or DDR-related technical bodies and committees should be included in the peace agreement, but even when included, it is often insufficient to push the process forward. The absence of a political agreement on security sector reform may also raise the stakes for the holding of post-conflict elections. It is therefore important to consider possible implications of sequencing different steps of the SSR and DDR processes and other major political and economic milestones in the peace agreement. In some contexts, the warring parties may agree that assessments (such as a threat assessment and security sector review) and national dialogue should take place only after national elections have been held. In other contexts, the parties will demand that agreement on major security policy and architecture issues (type, size, hierarchy and governance arrangements) are agreed upon and possibly included in a new constitution before elections are held. The challenges and opportunities of both options should be presented to the mediator and carefully considered. Once elected into office, new Governments will legitimately control security ministries and adopt strategies for security sector reform that may not sufficiently reflect former opponents\u2019 security needs and interests, thus raising the risk of relapse into conflict. The existence of SSR/DDR commitments stemming from a peace agreement can serve to protect the interests of former members of armed forces and groups but may also lessen pressure on the new Government from security or political constituents who may oppose the implementation of challenging reforms, such as the integration of former combatants into the security sector. A possible way of addressing this risk is to ensure that progress on both DDR and SSR is kept high on the agenda of senior UN leadership and partners, and that such progress is linked to international support for SSR and DDR, as these processes must be grounded in inclusive national agreements.",

"Paragraph": "5.7 Risks of deferring agreements on future security governance architecture Armed forces and groups often fuel their activities by assuming control over resource-rich territory or may have access to funding from taxing the local population or illegal cross-border trafficking (see IDDRS 6.40 on DDR and Organized Crime). Sources of income that are linked to control over territory present strong incentives to maintain the status quo and will impact the scope of realistic options that mediators can offer to armed groups. Current resource revenues can prove relatively more attractive than the benefits offered through a DDR and/or SSR process and, as a result, individuals and groups may opt not to join DDR. Similarly, armed groups may agree to integrate into the armed forces but only on the understanding that they will be deployed to a specific geographical area. If such details were not discussed during mediation, provisions on integration may be rejected in full once the time comes for implementation, potentially undermining years of progress. Peace agreements that do not effectively address the role of natural resources risk leaving warring parties with the economic means to resume fighting as soon as they decide that peace no longer suits them. In contexts where natural resources fuel conflict, DDR and SSR processes should be planned accordingly. Where appropriate, DDR practitioners should advise mediation teams on the impact of militarized resource exploitation on DDR and SSR, and recommend that provisions regarding the governance of natural resources be included in the peace agreement and reflected in its political and economic chapters (see IDDRS 6.40 on DDR and Organized Crime and IDDRS 6.30 on DDR and Natural Resources). Beyond mediation, the design of DDR processes in this context should be integrated with strategies that address the security governance of natural resources, as well as the economic reforms aimed at ensuring the transparent and accountable allocation of natural resource concessions and the transparent management of the revenues derived from their exploitation.",

It is important to always keep in mind that the goal of such support must be to build trust and facilitate reaching sustainable political agreements that would allow such temporary arrangements to evolve into long-term and sustainable security governance structures. The Secretary-General has cautioned that UN support to temporary and transitional security arrangements should only be short-term in nature and that main efforts should focus on finding solutions that will underpin long-term security sector architecture at all levels. Where temporary security arrangements are functioning well, it is critical that options for legitimizing and institutionalizing such arrangements is supported early on, including through their inclusion in national security policy and planning frameworks, and provisions in the national budget. The close cooperation between DDR, SSR practitioners and the political leadership of the United Nations is critical in ensuring a timely and sustainable transition from transitional arrangements to longer-term solutions that can sustain peace and prevent relapse into conflict. If political and security-related demands by armed groups that were contained in the political and/or peace agreement that preceded the national SSR process are not sufficiently integrated into the SSR process, this may pose a significant risk for relapse into conflict. Therefore, even if temporary arrangements are working well as a \u201cholding pattern\u201d for former combatants, it is critical that UN DDR, SSR and political experts \u2013 in cooperation with key partners \u2013 maintain close dialogue and coordinate to ensure that UN support is targeted at addressing structural risks within the security sector.

Joint DDR and SSR support to the integration of former combatants into the security sector The integration of former combatants into the security sector is a process that is complementary to DDR.

Integration is primarily a political process, and its success will often also determine the long-term success of SSR and peacebuilding efforts in the aftermath of conflict. Integration brings with it complex technical questions and significant financial costs. Where an integration process is underway, it inevitably requires that the affected security forces, command, management and oversight bodies are adapted and restructured to deal with the inflow of new personnel. There are different models and approaches to integration, yet their success ultimately hinges on the degree to which a particular modality is aligned with underlying political, security and financial incentives of former combatants, while also preserving and strengthening the institutional integrity and effectiveness of security forces.

These provisions would guide the design and implementation of DDR programmes that would typically precede SSR processes. However, over the past two decades, as conflict dynamics have changed, the United Nations is often involved in DDR and SSR processes in the absence of comprehensive peace agreements and while conflict is ongoing. The absence of comprehensive peace agreements is, in many cases, manifested by broad SSR and DDR provisions in peace agreements that are limited in scope and that leave out important questions on which parties often continue to disagree. Over the past decade, the United Nations has learned many lessons and developed new tools and approaches, including pre-DDR, to engage with the parties in the absence of political agreement on sensitive SSR/DDR topics and to support progress in dialogue while preparing the ground for future programmes and reforms.",

Hence, practitioners may need to advise relevant national authorities and actors/partners on practical questions of approach, sequencing and priorities, including gender-responsive elements of these, that the peace agreement would not have addressed in detail. The creation of a representative oversight body for integration, including male and female representatives of all former warring parties, should also be considered. It is, however, critical to highlight that the design and support to the integration process, including agreement on ranks and numbers for integration, must be considered in light of the evolving political process (and security landscape) and keeping in mind that ill-designed short-term projects and integration initiatives are likely to fail, undermine trust in the peace process and inflict lingering damage to the prospects for peace and security. Importantly, where national legal and regulatory frameworks pertaining to the security sector may need to be adjusted through further laws or decrees in line with provisions in the peace agreement, it is important to adequately reflect the issue of integration.

"Paragraph": "6.3 Integrating gender in integrated DDR/SSR support Gender-transformative practices should begin as early as possible during the peace process to ensure representation of women and women\u2019s organizations in the national dialogue that feeds into negotiations. All participants in negotiations, as well as those crafting DDR and SSR provisions and frameworks, should be sensitized to the existence of, and prevention of, gender-based and sexual violence. Increasing the number of women in security sector institutions has been shown to increase their ability to effectively respond to sexual and gender-based violence. It is also important that the specific protection concerns for women integrating into the security sector be assessed and inform the training curriculum and rollout, infrastructure for staff facilities, and reporting within the security sector. Including women in peace processes at the decision-making level can broaden national ownership of post-conflict reforms, reinforcing the credibility of the process. This should also set the tone for a post\u2013peace process society that is sensitive to gender issues. Where possible, the peace agreement should outline specific provisions on the integration of both males and females into representative and inclusive security sector institutions. It is important to ensure there is not a tokenistic process for the inclusion of women; rather, these approaches should be implemented in a considered and systematic manner. For example, merely including one or more women on the negotiation team, or having one woman at the negotiating table, is not a substitute for ensuring women\u2019s meaningful engagement in peace and security, nor for conducting and utilizing systematic assessments of the security needs and concerns of women. Women and women\u2019s groups must also play a role in implementing peace agreements and in carrying out DDR and SSR processes, ensuring that women have equal opportunities to benefit from DDR/SSR, as appropriate to the situation and the role that they held during conflict. Gender-responsive budgeting throughout the DDR and SSR process should also be implemented in order to fully integrate women and ensure their needs are addressed in a sustainable manner. The capacities of women\u2019s groups should also be built, where necessary, so that they may be enabled to advertise opportunities to women and girls, address their mental and physical health needs, and provide them with other gender-responsive DDR/SSR opportunities.",

If discriminatory regulations or practices are used during mediation or during the implementation of the integration process to exclude minorities, including women, then SSR, DDR and political experts should work closely together to align messages and adapt support strategies to ensure more inclusive integration. Even where exclusionary agreements were reached during the mediation process, DDR/SSR practitioners and political/legal experts in the United Nations should carefully devise strategies to address these structural risks through programmes, legislative changes, national policies, etc. For example, if language was included as a criterion for integration but members of armed groups primarily speak a different language than the administrative/majority language, the United Nations may seek to amend this provision or seek an agreement whereby national authorities provide language training to former combatants who are otherwise eligible to be integrated.",

It is important that integration into the security sector is not approached from the perspective of individual security agencies. The historical role and background of various security agencies is different in each context, and so is the role of these institutions in relation to conflict drivers. Moreover, an approach that looks only at security agencies without understanding the governance and economic dynamics in which they are embedded may entrench conflict drivers, exclusion and marginalization and pave the way for relapse into conflict.

Before transferring arms and ammunition to national authorities, DDR practitioners shall take account all obligations under relevant regional and international instruments as well as potential UN arms embargos and should seek legal advice. If the national authority in question is prohibited from using or possessing certain weapons or ammunition (e.g., mines or cluster munitions), such materiel shall be destroyed. Furthermore, in line with the UN human rights due diligence policy on UN support to non-UN security forces, materiel and other types of support that fall under the policy shall be transferred only after adequate risk assessments are done and mitigation measures for the identified risks are developed and implemented. Where there are substantial grounds to believe that there is a real risk that the intended recipient is committing grave violations of international humanitarian, human rights or refugee law, such support should not be provided. The potential negative consequences of incorporating DDR weapons and ammunition into their stockpiles should be explained to national authorities. These consequences not only include the symbolic connotations of using conflict weapons, but also the costs and operational challenges that come with the management of materiel that differs from standard equipment. The integration of ammunition into national stockpiles should be discouraged, as ammunition of unknown origin can be extremely hazardous. A technical inspection of weapons and ammunition should be jointly carried out by both UN and national experts before handover to the national authorities. Finally, weapons handed over to national authorities should bear markings made at the time of manufacture, and best practice recommends the destruction or remarking of weapons whose original markings have been altered or erased. Weapons should be registered by the national authorities in line with international standards.

Furthermore, if different local assessments reveal similar patterns or trends, this may signal a systemic problem requiring effort to be channelled through more municipal or national reforms of the security sector.

Separation of serving security personnel is typically under the umbrella of the national SSR process and led by national institutions, and may include pensions, separation packages and/or other benefits in the framework of the national budget. However, following wartime military mobilization, States may take a reintegration support approach during and following wartime military mobilization to meet the needs and harness the capacities of the large numbers of men and women mobilized who will need assistance to transition into civilian life. Many will require reintegration assistance while conflict is still ongoing as a result of becoming unfit for service (e.g., because they have acquired a disability or psychosocial or mental health impairment). Decisions on adopting a reintegration support approach are guided by political strategies and informed by domestic fiscal realities. While the security sector in most contexts may be overly large and costly, it is often not possible to reduce its size in the immediate period following conflict.
