Previous DDR program in CAR

From 2004 to 2007, a $9.7 million DDR project (the PRAC: Programme de réinsertion des ex-combattants et d’appui aux communautés), financed by the MDRP, was implemented by UNDP. 

The program reached 100% of its target, demobilizing more than 7,500 ex-combatants and providing them reintegration support. However the operation also suffered from many shortcomings.
