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
