answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>Disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) is essential to create the conditions for stability and security in the Central African Republic (CAR).

Through the UK’s contribution to MINUSCA, we support this vital work on pushing DDR forward in CAR.</p><p>MINUSCA is currently in the pre-DDR phase, preparing for the launch of DDR. This entails a sensitisation process/education process for former combatants who will take part in DDR.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 05/11/2015 16:04:42 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>Although the Foreign and Commonwealth Office currently has no plans to supply personnel to the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission to the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), our support for the mission is substantial. The UK pays for 6.6% of the UN’s peacekeeping budget, and therefore an equivalent share of UN civilian personnel in MINUSCA, the UK’s support has also included £23m humanitarian aid to the Central African Republic. We will continue to work with the international community through MINUSCA and the European Union Force, to protect civilians from violence.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/01/2015 17:00:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>Addressing religious tensions in the Central African Republic (CAR) is an important part of supporting international efforts to protect the population from ongoing violence. The Inter-Religious platform in CAR is made up of Muslim and Christian leaders and has been at the forefront of peace-building and reconciliation efforts, engaging with communities that have been directly affected by sectarian violence in CAR. We welcome their efforts to promote dialogue, and have called for similar actions from CAR's transitional government. As my hon friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Tobias Ellwood) said in Westminster Hall on 19 November, without justice, peace and reconciliation, there can be no future for the CAR.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 01/12/2014 14:47:21 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
