Resilience and Safe Reintegration for Children and Mothers Returning From the War Zones

This intervention respond to the recognized fact that children pay the highest price during humanitarian crisis. Many of these children are facing situations of being unaware of the decisions taken for them, some were born in the camps and lost their parents and caregivers along the way. Therefore, in order to facilitate the Rehabilitation and Reintegration process for the children and family members of the Foreign Terrorists Fighters we implemented this initiative.

While acknowledging all the challenges and elaborated needs and gaps as per above, the proposed program's overall objective is to ‘Facilitate the successful reintegration of returnees and vulnerable populations by providing comprehensive case management support and sustainable transition services, while fostering social cohesion, inclusion, tolerance, and preventing violent extremism’. This objective has been transposed into 3 Outcomes/Objectives, namely:  
1.    Ensure case management support to returnees and vulnerable populations.
2.    Support sustainable transition case management services to government led facilities funded by government budgets. 
3.    Ensure social cohesion, inclusion, and tolerance building activities contributing to reintegration of returnees and at-risk individuals and prevention of violent extremism.

DURATION: 1 July 2023 - December 2024

The project Resilience and Safe Reintegration for children and mothers returning from the war zones was funded by the Global Communiy Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF), and implemented in partnership with the Coordination Center for Countering Violent Extremism (CVE Center).
