Supporting Peacebuilding and Community Recovery Through National Reintegration Efforts

In January and March 2026, UNDP supported Ethiopia’s National Demobilization and Reintegration Programme through engagement focused on accompanying and monitoring demobilization processes. This support reflects UNDP’s continued commitment to advancing sustainable peace and strengthening community‑level peacebuilding as part of broader recovery and stabilization efforts.

To date, over 80,000 individuals, approximately 15 per cent of whom are women, have been demobilized and received reintegration support under the programme.

This work is fundamentally about people, supporting women and men as they transition away from conflict and begin reintegrating into communities to rebuild peaceful, productive civilian lives. Through sustained partnerships and donor support, these efforts contribute to community recovery, trust‑building, and the foundations for long‑term stability and peace.

The programme is supported by generous contributions from the Governments of Canada, Denmark, the European Union, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
