1. Summary and Conclusions
Parallel session 2 Approaches to Sustainable Peace Returns, Mine Action and DDR
Summary and Conclusions

2. Returns, mine action, early recovery and development, basic services, security sector reform, gender, governance, community security and DDR are mutually dependent and equally critical to peace; hence need for comprehensive approach
2.1 million returnees and 182,900 ex-combatants between 2008 – 2011
Security approaches also need to target community level; need to strengthen basic social services to support DDR and Returns

3. DDR in Sudan complex; planning requirements; linkage with SSR

Urgent support for East Sudan DDR needed

Need to address shortfall in funding for mine action and returns
Critical funding needed to start DDR (110 million by Jan ‘09); no DD without funds for R
