Abstract: Cordaid has commissioned a study on the role of NGOs in disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) processes. The present study aims to examine how NGOs can collaborate with parties that normally play a leading role in DDR processes, such as the military and UN agencies. Three case studies were carried out for this study: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC) and Sierra Leone. This report synthesizes the findings of these case studies, puts them in broader context and draws wider conclusions and lessons.
