REACT - Reintegration from Armed Conflict: A Comparative Study of Youth Reintegration from Armed Conflict in Iraq and Gaza

Project description

Reintegration of fighters returning from armed conflicts

What is the fate of young men and women who engaged in armed conflict and wish to be reintegrated into their communities? The EU-funded REACT project will answer this question. It will carry out a cross-regional analysis of two contexts: Iraq and the Gaza Strip. It will explore how young people perceive the possibility to reintegrate and the expectations of their communities, the national government and the humanitarian and development environment. REACT will conduct field research in both areas engaging with youth and their communities to deliver an empirical platform for policy engagement. The findings will shed light on the approaches to successfully engage with youth formerly affiliated to armed conflicts.
