	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
