In accordance with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and Security Council resolution SC 1590 of March 24, 2005, the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) has been mandated to provide support and assistance to the Government of National Unity (GONU) and Government of South Sudan (GOSS) in planning, developing and implementing the national Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration programme. To this end, an integrated UN Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) unit has been established with Headquarters in Khartoum and field offices in South Sudan (in Juba, Malakal, Wau). In line with the Integrated DDR Standards, while DPKO is providing guidance for the DDR process as a whole and leading the planning and implementation of the D & D components, UNDP, through voluntary contributions, acts as the planning and implementation agency for the reintegration component. DDR in Sudan meant to enhance short-term security through capitalizing on peace dividends through reintegrating individual ex-combatants (XCs) and SNGs, while also contributing to longer-term peace and stability through affecting the rightsizing of both the SAF and SPLA. Doing so will positively impact security in a three pronged approach by increasing trust and confidence between the two formerly opposing forces, facilitate conditions for domestic security, as well as address directly XCs and SNGs as a human security threat. Guided by the National DDR Strategic Plan (adopted in August 2007), and National Reintegration Policy and the UN Development Assistance Framework, the DDR Programme also aims at contributing to the Northern Sudan’s Strategic Five Year Plan (2008 – 2011) and South Sudan’s Three Year Strategic Plan for recovery and development, which emphasize the effective and sustainable reintegration of ex-combatants, while recognizing the need to support Millennium Development Goals in all recovery and developmental spheres. The SDDRP aims at contributing to the implementation of the CPA by creating an enabling environment to enhance security through the provision of technical and material support to the national authorities charged with the design and implantation of a comprehensive DDR programme. Specifically, the objective of the DDR Programme is to provide direct support to the eligible participants of 180,000 to facilitate their reintegration into civilian communities. Due consideration is given to promoting community security and social cohesion through capacity development at local and national levels to ensure the sustainability of the reintegration effort by close monitoring of individual projects and the promotion of close linkages with other governmental and internationally-supported programmes. The organizational structure of UNDP/DDR reflects the needs of this worldwide biggest DDR programme with a single headquarters in Khartoum, a North and a South Coordination Office in Juba and Khartoum respectively, as well as 20 State Offices.
