Stolen Futures: The reintegration of children affected by armed conflict

Save the Children and our partners have conducted numerous evaluations and reviews of programming for children associated with armed forces and groups (CAAFG) in order to improve tools and programming and to make an informed contribution to the development of international law and policy.

This report pulls together the key findings and conclusions from a variety of situations in which children have been associated with armed forces and groups and have then been released and reintegrated into their families or communities. The research addresses children who have been through formal disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programmes as well as those who have gone directly into their own or another community.
