A P A C I T Y   P R O G R A M   ( A U   D D R C P )               W orkshop  on  the  Development  of  the  AU  DDR  Compendium  and  Training  M anual     On  May  12-­‐13,  a  workshop  on  the  development  of  an  AU  DDR  compendium  and  DDR  training  manual  was   convened  by  the  African  Union  Commission  (AUC)  in  collaboration  with  the  United  Nations  (UN)  and  the   World   Bank   (WB)   in   Addis   Ababa,   Ethiopia.   The   workshop   brought   more   than   20   participants,   including   AU  staff  from  Head  Quarters  and  AU  field  missions,  Regional  Economic  Communities  (RECs),  Centers  of   Excellence,   UN   and   WB   representatives.   The   focus   of   the   workshops   was   to   present   and   discuss   the   process,   approach   and   methodology   for   the   development   of   an   AU   DDR   Compendium   and   Training   Standards.     Workshop   participants   recommended   that   the   process   of   Compendium   development   should   involve   a   two-­‐phased   approach:   Phase   one   should   contain   a   Desk   Review,   a   repository   of   available   policy   and   academic   literature,   and   the   production   of   summary   analyses   emerging   issues   drawn   from   the   desk   review;  and  Phase  two  will  involve  the  elaboration  of  case  studies.       In  terms  of  the  development  process  of  the  Training  Standards/Manual,  participants  recommended  that  a   Training  Needs  Analysis  (TNA)  should  be  conducted.  The  TNA  will  aim  to  collect  shared  experiences  and   information   from   the   various   DDR   training   entities   on   current   DDR   training   courses   being   offered,   and   deliver  tools  and  approaches  being  utilized.  The  TNA  will  also  help  to  identify  the  strengths,  challenges,   gaps   and   deficiencies’   of   the   current   training   offerings   and   present   the   AU   vision   on   the   training   standards  and  norms  setting  for  DDR  intervention  on  the  continent.     5 th  M eeting  of  the  AU  Regions  Steering  Committee  on  SALW  (Sm all  Arm s  and  Light   W eapons)/DDR   The  fifth  meeting  of  the  AU  regions  Steering  Committee  on  SALW/DDR  was  undertaken  in  Addis  Ababa   from   June   23-­‐24.   The   Steering   Committee   brought   together   the   AU   Commission,   RECs   and   Regional   Bodies  with  a  SALW  mandate  to  enhance  synergies  in  the  control  of  the  illicit  proliferation,  circulation  and   trafficking   in   SALW,   as   well   as   in   DDR   initiatives   across   the   continent.   This   will   be   achieved   through   sharing   of   information,   identifying   gaps   and   priorities,   and   exploring   avenues   and   opportunities   for   enhanced  coordination  and  collaboration  in  support  of  Member  States’  efforts.   The   meeting   endorsed   the   report   from   the   last   meeting;   received   update   status   brief   from   RECs   (CEN-­‐ SAD,   EAC,   ECCAS,   ECOWAS,   ICGLR,   and   RECSA);   discussed   mechanisms   of   enhancing   coordination   and   partnerships;  and  considered  regional  strategies  and  common  positions.   Main   progress   and   achievements   made   since   the   last   Steering   Committee   in   December   2014   were   highlighted.   The   DDR   project   has   provided   its   input   by   highlighting   the   activities   undertaken   since   last   meeting   mainly   in   meeting   three   components   of   the   project.   The   meeting   noted   the   need   to   integrate   DDR   efforts   into   wider   stabilization   efforts   on   the   continent,   to   develop   Terms   of   Reference   and   to   2   April  –  June  2015   undertake  a  feasibility  study  on  how  to  develop  community  based  DDR  programs  in  close  collaboration   with  partners  and  Post  Conflict  Reconstruction  and  Development  unit.     As  a  way  forward,  the  meeting  agreed  on  a  set  of  action  points  and  activities  to  be  implemented  by  the   members  of  the  Steering  Committee  in  the  areas  of  illicit  SALW  control  and  DDR  over  the  next  six  months.   Draft  Com pendium  Desk  Review   Following  series  of  consultations  both  internally  and  externally,  the  REC’s,  Centres  of  Excellence,  AU,  with   technical   assistance   from   the   World   Bank/TDRP   drafted   a   desk   review   for   the   development   of   DDR   compendium.   This   desk   review   will   aim   to   examine   the   status   of   available   DDR   knowledge   bases   and   advise  on  potential  structure  and  content  of  the  development  of  a  Compendium.     Online  Repository  and  Electronic  Docum entations     An   online   repository   of   DDR   documents   that   contains   over   200   publications   and   papers   across   various   thematic  areas  in  the  field  is  compiled.  Once  the  list  is  finalized,  it  will  be  publicly  available.     1.2   C OUNTRY   A CTIVITIES     C E N T R A L   A F R I C A N   R E P U B L I C     Com m unity  Reintegration  Project:  Implementation  Completion  and  Results     In   April   2015,   the   TDRP   team   conducted   an   Implementation   Completion   and   Results   (ICR)   mission   to   Bangui,  Central  African  Republic  (CAR)  to  prepare  the  ICR  report  of  the  Community  Reintegration  Project   (CRP).   The   TDRP-­‐financed   CRP   had   the   long-­‐term   objective   of   supporting   the   peace   process   and   contributing  to  Government’s  stabilization  efforts.  The  project  was  developed  as  a  community  recovery   project  in  the  conflict-­‐affected  area  of  northern  CAR,  particularly  in  those  areas  where  there  was  a  high   concentration   of   ex-­‐combatants,   youth   associated   with   militia   and   banditry,   and   youth-­‐at-­‐risk.   CRP   attempted   to   bridge   the   gap   from   the   traditional   demobilization   and   reintegration   operation   to   longer   term  reintegration  and  recovery.     The  mission  objectives  were  to  collect  results  data,  to  conduct  key  stakeholder  interviews,  and  to  carry   out   a   stakeholder   workshop   with   the   implementing   partners,   namely   ACTED,   Solidarités   International,   Première  Urgence,  and  International  Rescue  Committee,  as  well  as  other  key  stakeholders  including  the   Government.   Prior   to   the   mission,   the   ICR   team   interviewed   World   Bank   colleagues.   The   team   also   consulted   with   the   Independent   Evaluation   Group   to   obtain   advice   with   regards   to   developing   an   effective  completion  report.       In  Bangui,  the  team  met  with  the  mission  chiefs  and  technical  staff  of  the  four  implementing  partners  and   other  partner  organizations  that  supported  the  implementation.  As  advised  by  the  IEG  and  World  Bank   colleagues,   the   team   contacted   other   organizations   that   might   have   information   about   the   CRP.   The   consultations  provided  an  insight  into  the  current  status  of  project  areas  and  activities  that  were  fully  or   partially  implemented.  To  obtain  data  and  information  from  the  project  sites  and  beneficiaries,  the  team   requested  the  implementing  partners  to  hold  beneficiary  focus  groups  (with  control  groups  to  allow  for   comparisons)  in  their  respective  project  areas.  Two  of  the  four  IPs  were  able  to  collect  information  from   3   April  –  June  2015   the  project  locations.  In  addition,  the  implementing  partners  were  requested  to  take  photographs  of  the   infrastructure  that  was  built  or  rehabilitated  as  evidence  of  their  current  status.  At  the  end  of  the  mission,   the   ICR   team   held   a   stakeholder   workshop   at   the   Bank   office   to   discuss   results,   lessons   learned,   unexpected  outcomes  and  common  challenges  during  implementation.  The  ICR  Report  was  submitted  for   approval   by   the   Sr.   Global   Practice   Director   on   June   24.   Once   approved,   the   report   will   be   publicly   available  and  will  inform  future  operations.       Disarm am ent,  Dem obilization,  Repatriation  and  Reintegration  (DDRR)  Program     The  United  Nations  Multidimensional  Integrated  Stabilization  Mission  in  CAR  (MINUSCA)  requested  TDRP   technical  assistance.  The  TDRP  team  has  been  working  with  MINUSCA  DDR  section  and  the  Government   on   the   DDRR   outlook   in   the   country.   Two   technical   assistance   missions   to   Bangui   took   place   between   April   and   May   to   work   with   the   MINUSCA   DDR   team.   To   date,   the   technical   assistance   has   focused   on   supporting  MINUSCA  DDRR  Section  in  the  development  of  a  DDRR  Program  Outline  document  and  a  brief   presentation   that   MINUSCA   will   use   to   coordinate   the   DDRR   plans   with   the   international   community.   MINUSCA  is  currently  focusing  on  bringing  different  stakeholders  on  the  same  page  with  regards  to  the   DDRR   to   ensure   that   all   parties   involved   have   the   same   reading   of   the   process.   Current   discussions   indicate  that  a  community  reintegration  approach  was  highlighted  as  the  main  pillar  of  reintegration  and   the  program  would  involve  the  communities  as  much  as  possible.  In  addition,  the  technical  and  advisory   support  also  focused  on  pre-­‐DDRR  activities  that  will  be  implemented  by  MINUSCA.  To  make  more  funds   available  for  technical  support,  the  TDRP  and  MINUSCA  teams  agreed  to  develop  a  joint  proposal  for  UN-­‐ WB  Partnership  Trust  Fund  for  technical  assistance  and  a  study  tour  to  obtain  knowledge  on  operational   practices  on  DDRR.  As  per  the  agreed  plan,  TDRP  will  continue  supporting  MINUSCA  and  the  Government   through  continued  coordination  and  technical  assistance.       D E M O C R A T I C   R E P U B L I C   O F   C O N G O     D D R   I I I   –   R e i n s e r t i o n   &   R e i n t e g r a t i o n   P r o j e c t   A   World   Bank/TDRP   mission   travelled   to   Kinshasa   at   the   end   of   March   and   early   April   to   carry   out   the   project  appraisal  and  the  negotiations  with  the  government.  The  mission  reviewed  the  proposed  activities   (including   the   budget)   financed   by   IDA   and   TDRP   in   detail.   The   purpose   of   the   appraisal   was   to   lay   the   ground   of   the   negotiations   and   ensure   that   the   government   of   DRC   and   the   World   Bank   are   in   full   agreement.  Following  a  successful  appraisal,  the  negotiations  took  place  at  the  World  Bank  in  Kinshasa  on   April,  7  2015.  The  negotiations  were  co-­‐chaired  by  the  WB  lawyer  and  the  head  of  the  delegation  from   the  DRC  government.  After  reviewing  and  slightly  revising  the  Project  Document  and  the  legal  documents   (grant  agreements  and  disbursement  letters),  the  negotiations  concluded  successfully  with  the  signing  of   the  minutes.   During  the  following   three  weeks,  the  project  team  worked  on  finalizing  the  “Board  Package”.  On  May  4th   the   WB   Africa   Vice-­‐President   cleared   the   package   which   was   approved   by   the   World   Bank   Board   of   Directors  on  May  15.  The  expected  effectiveness  date  is  August,  15  or  sooner.     Following  the  Board  approval,  the  team  started  working  on  the  project  implementation  manual  (PIM)  and   the  environmental  and  social  safeguards  document.  As  part  of  the  preparation  of  the  PIM,  a  mission  went   to  Eastern  DRC  to  undertake  an  overview  of  potential  Implementing  Partners  (IPs)  and  current  conditions   in   the   expected   areas   of   reintegration.   The   mission   went   to   Goma,   Walikale,   Bukavu   Uvira   and   Kahehe   4   April  –  June  2015   and  met  with  over  70  persons  and  organizations.  The  findings  and  recommendations  of  the  mission  will   directly  feed  into  the  preparation  of  the  PIM.   In  addition,  the  Multi-­‐donor  Trust  Fund  (MDTF)  was  established  in  April  to  receive  new  contributions  from   donors.  Following  the  establishment  of  the  MDTF,  the  World  Bank  lawyers  prepared  the  Administrative   Agreements  (AA)  that  will  bound  the  two  entities.  In  June,  a  mission  travelled  to  Kinshasa  to  follow  up  on   these  specific  aspects,  and  the  AA  was  shared  with  DFID  and  Belgium  as  they  expressed  a  strong  interest   in  contributing  to  the  MDTF.  The  AA  for  the  European  Union  is  being  finalized  by  the  WB  lawyer.  A  new   Agreement  Framework  exists  between  the  WB  and  the  European  Union  and  will  be  applied  for  the  first   time  with  this  project  –  which  explains  some  delays.  It  is  expected  that  during  the  next  quarter  all  AAs  will   be  signed  and  contributions  received.     J a p a n   S o c i a l   D e v e l o p m e n t   F u n d   ( J S D F ) :   S o c i a l   C o h e s i

The   team   is   revising   the   concept   note   taking  into  account  the  valuable  comments  that  will  strengthen  and  develop  the  project  document.  The   proposed   project   objective   is   to   improve   access   to   livelihoods,   social   cohesion,   and   local   governance   in   communities  affected  by  conflict  and  violence  in  Province  Orientale’s  Dungu  Territory,  DRC.  The  primary   project  target  beneficiaries  are  approximately  2,500  households  in  Dungu  Territory  and  neighboring  areas.     R E P U B L I C   O F   C O N G O     J a p a n   S o c

  The   team   is   revising   the   concept   note   and   will   start   preparing   the   Project   Document.   Finally,   the   proposed   project   objective   is   to   improve   access   to   sustainable  livelihoods  in  the  districts  of  Goma  Tsé  Tsé,  Kinkala,  and  Mindouli  in  the  Department  of  Pool,   RoC.   It   is   envisaged   that   the   project   will   contribute   to   the   promotion   of   sustainable   development   and   social   cohesion   in   the   Department   of   Pool.   This   will   be   achieved   through   strengthened   community   governance  structures,  improved  income  generation  activities,  and  sustainable  energy  use  with  emphasis   on  household  and  productive  uses.     M A L I   Technical  Assistance  to  the  planned  DDR  Program     At  the  request  of  the  World  Bank  Mali  Country  Management  Unit,  a  TDRP  mission  visited  Bamako  in  June.   The  objectives  were  to  meet  with  the  World  Bank  country  office  staff  to  discuss  the  Bank’s  position  on   DDR  as  articulated  in  the  Peace  Agreement  (that  was  signed  by  the  Government  and  the  Platform  Group   on   May   15   and   by   the   Coordination   Group   on   June   20);   to   revitalize   the   technical   work   with   the   Government  and  DDR  Working  Group;  and  to  identify  areas  where  Bank  support  might  be  required.  The   TDRP   mission   met   with   the   Minister   of   Defense   and   Minister   of   Reconciliation.   The   Government   welcomed   the   technical   and   advisory   support   provided   by   the   TDRP,   and   asked   for   the   continuation   of   5   April  –  June  2015   technical  assistance.  The  mission  held  two  working  sessions  with  the  DDR  Working  Group  and  agreed  to   focus  on  institutional  arrangements,  as  the  peace  agreement  makes  clear  references  to  these  aspects.  In   the   long-­‐term,   it   was   agreed   that   the   TDRP   assistance   would   focus   on   Reinsertion/Reintegration,   while   overall  advisory  support  will  be  available  upon  request.     R E P U B L I C   O F   S O U T H   S U D A N         S o u t h   S u d a n   D D R   T e c h n i c a l   A s s i s t a n c e   This  quarter,  the  TDRP  continued  to  be  available  to  the  South  Sudan  National  DDR  Commission  (NDDRC)   regarding  the  country’s  DDR  strategy,  although  the  peace  talks  have  not  yet  materialized.  The  team  was   also  requested  to  provide  inputs  on  DDR  and  the  country’s  overall  security  landscape  to  the  World  Bank’s   upcoming   Strategic   Country   Diagnostic.   The   TDRP   will   continue   to   provide   technical   assistance   in   the   coming  year.     The   TDRP   was   also   represented   as   one   of   the   three   speakers   at   a   United   States   Office   of   the   United   Nations   Policy   Brief   Meeting:   “South   Sudan   Donor   Meeting”   in   New   York.   This   meeting   attended   by   representatives   from   the   Embassies   of   Canada,   Denmark,   European   Union,   Germany,   Netherlands,   Norway,  Sweden,  Switzerland,  United  Kingdom,  and  United  States.  The  key  points  raised  at  this  meeting   addressed:   the   types   of   programs   necessary   to   ensure   that   successful   DDR   and   SSR   programs   are   implemented,   numbers   of   possible   ex-­‐combatants   by   generic   categories   and   length   and   cost   of   such   a   program.  This  was  the  first  meeting  of  this  type  for  the  region.   In  addition,  the  TDRP  team  has  assisted  IGAD  with  their  inputs  on  DDR  programming  at  the  Addis  Abebe   Peace  talks.  A  meeting  was  held  with  a  consultant  working  with  IGAD  in  Washington  DC  and  followed  up   on  a  request  to  provide  costing  on  various  components  of  a  potential  DDR  project.   J a p a n   S o c i a l   D e

Concept   Note   for   the   South   Sudan   Economic   Empowerment   Training   for   Conflict-­‐Affected   Youth  Project  was  submitted  to  the  JSDF  committee  for  consideration  this  quarter  following  approval  by   the   country   team   in   late   May   2015.   The   project   aims   to   provide   an   economic   empowerment   training   program  for  conflict-­‐affected  youth  in  South  Sudan  through  curriculum  development,  providing  skills  to   trainers   and   piloting   the   training.   This   is   a   critical   initiative   as   it   will   enhance   the   country’s   training   capacity  which  will  be  necessary  for  eventual  implementation  of  any  DDR  program  in  the  country.  At  the   same  time  there  is  widespread  agreement  that  livelihoods  support  for  youth  is  a  priority  in  South  Sudan.   Unfortunately,  the  livelihoods  models  primarily  rely  on  traditional  vocational  training  or  TVET  which  has   been  found  to  be  inaccessible  to  conflict-­‐affected  youth  and  not  targeted  to  their  needs.  The  proposed   project   aims   to   redesign   the   approach   taken   in   traditional   livelihoods   programming   to   provide   more   realistic  and  targeted  training  for  conflict-­‐affected  youth.  This  project  will  develop  the  tools  and  trainers   for   a   holistic   suite   of   economic   empowerment   training   specifically   adapted   to   the   needs   of   conflict-­‐ affected   youth   and   pilot   this   new   approach   through   a   set   of   trainings   for   conflict-­‐affected   youth.   The   programming   will   be   designed   specifically   for   this   vulnerable   group,   with   particular   recognition   of   low   literacy/educational  attainment  levels,  challenges  resulting  from  exposure  to  traumatic  experiences,  and   time-­‐use  cost-­‐benefit  realities.  Traditional  vocational  training  and  TVET  programming  has  been  found  to   be  largely  ineffective  as  it  presupposes  levels  of  literacy,  employment  opportunities  and  long  timelines  of   6   April  –  June  2015   commitment  which  are  not  realistic  for  these  youth.  The  innovative  approach  being  piloted  here  instead   builds   skills   that   allow   for   immediate   use   in   their   communities   while   training   for   long-­‐term   economic   flexibility  and  mobility.     2 .   K N O W L E D G E   M A N A G E M E N T   UN   University   Conference   on   Violent   Extremism .   Two   TDRP   staff   members   attended   a   two   day   workshop  and  briefing  to  Ambassadors  at  the  UN   on  combatting  violent  extremism,  presenting  on  how   TDRP  reintegration  programming  takes  this  into  account.   Brindisi   Reinsertion   and   Reintegration   –   DDR   Chiefs’   meeting   2015.   TDRP   was   invited   to   attend   the   UN   DPKO   DDR   Chiefs   Meeting   in   June   2015,   in   Brindisi,   Italy   to  provide   specialist   input   into   Reintegration  Programing  and  to  discuss  potential  synergies  between  TDRP  and  UN  DDR  Programing.  It   was   agreed   that   closer   links   would   be   forged   over   potential   programs   in   Mali   and   South   Sudan.   With   regards  to  the  latter,  a  joint  mission  to  Juba  is  planned  for  late  September  2015.   3 .   P R O G R A M   M A N A G E M E N T           TDRP   E XTENSION     The  TDRP  has  been  extended  from  December  31,  2015  to  December  31,  2016.  Following  the  last  TDRP   Trust  Fund  Committee  (TFC)  meeting  in  Paris  in  February  2015,  where  a  cost-­‐extension  was  discussed,  the   TDRP   is   currently   in   the   process   of   initiating   an   external   TDRP   evaluation.   External   experts   will   be   contacting   TDRP   donors   and   other   stakeholders   in   July   to   interview   and   collect   information   for   the   evaluation  report,  which  will  then  be  presented  at  the  next  TFC  meeting  scheduled  to  take  place  in  Paris   in  October  2015.       S TAFFING       Staff   Abderrahim
