Countries that have been through transition find themselves faced with the task of (re)building political, economic and social stability. One of the main areas of concern for countries that have experienced some form of conflict on the path towards democracy (like South Africa) is the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) of former combatants.

This would be achieved through facilitating their engagement in evaluating and identifying gaps in the psychosocial services available to them.
