The Learning on Gender and Conflict in
Africa (LOGiCA) program aims to increase gender-specific
programming in post-conflict countries in Sub-Saharan
Africa, with a focus on demobilization and reintegration
(D&R) in the Great Lakes region (GLR), and
gender-specific issues arising from armed conflict. Specific
objectives are: (i) to increase gender-sensitive programming
in D&R operations in the GLR by better addressing the
gender-differentiated needs of male and female combatants;
and (ii) to generate knowledge and good practices on how to
address gender and conflict issues, with a focus on learning
initiatives addressing sexual and gender-based violence
(SGBV), vulnerable women, and young men at risk in
Sub-Saharan Africa. This study pertains to generating
knowledge on gender sensitivity in D&R programming. The
study aimed to determine: (i) the extent to which the
results of the intervention had been sustained by individual
beneficiaries and associations, (ii) the related role of
support provided through the pilot project, and (iii) the
well-being of beneficiaries relative to the rest of the
community, more specifically in comparison with
ex-combatants supported by the Program National de
Desarmement, Demobilisation, et Reinsertion (PNDDR) but not
eligible for participation in the pilot project.
