The DDR Programme in Sudan is currently implementing three programmes, 1) the Community Security and Stabilization Programme (C2SP) in former Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) areas, 2) Darfur Community Security and Arms Control (CSAC), and 3) Darfur Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR).

 

The C2SP Programme is implemented in the former CPA areas. The programme was initiated based on community and individual feedback, lessons learned, best practices. The C2SP targets different vulnerable groups of people as it promotes community security and stabilization efforts in order to generate an enabling environment that would be beneficial for any future DDR programming.

Together, they fall under the DDS Foundational and Short Term Activities (FaST) to ensure that the priorities of Darfur are met and to pave the way towards early recovery and development.
