Assessing
options for the Reintegration of Ex-combatants
Burundi
February – April 2003
 The
conflict in the Mano River Union area, which encompasses
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, presents a complex
situation stemming from three countries grappling with
active political instability, armed conflict and the
challenges of post-conflict transition. Enduring strife
in addition to the internal and cross-border displacement
of populations destroyed infrastructure. Economic turmoil
resulted, particularly in border regions, and a state
of chaos continues to ensue.
BEPS was engaged to assess the political stability and level of conflict
in the Mano River Union and to design a comprehensive conflict prevention
and peace-building framework for future USAID/ West Africa Regional Program
activities in the Mano River Union. BEPS assessed current country-specific
political stability and conflict conditions in the area; mapped actors
and their interventions, evaluating their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
gaps, and partnerships; and developed a framework for USAID future interventions
in the area, including objectives, programmatic activities, results indicators
and a performance monitoring plan.
By addressing the need for enhanced political stability in the Mano River
region, this activity contributes to the USAID West Africa Regional Program’s
objective: to promote greater peace as a requisite to regional economic
integration and prosperity.
