- Abstract:
- The meeting was held at German House and hosted by the Germany's Permanent Mission to the UN. The agenda for the meeting and the guiding questions for each panel are attached. David Malone (IPA) and Julia Taft (UNDP) gave opening remarks with UNDP in particular stressing the need to assess whether or not the UN was correctly balancing the three components of DDR. Julia Taft also stated that significant sums of money had been promised for DDR in the DRC but had not come through. For this reason, she was anxious to hear from the donors in the group to see if they could discuss their intentions for future funding. Lastly, both the IPA and UNDP were interested in developing standards and guidelines for DDR programmes if, during the seminar, it became clear that a demand existed for the production of such materials.
