Abstract
Many reintegration programmes focus on ex-combatants rather than communities, and this limited focus has created divisions among community members and strained reintegration processes in many post-war environments. In view of this limited approach to reintegration, more and more academics and practitioners are arguing for a community-based (CB) approach as a way of addressing resentment among community members for more effective peace-building. But how can CB integration programmes be planned and implemented in post-war environments? These recommendations are based on empirical research in Sierra Leone, which explores how community-based reintegration programmes can facilitate more effective peace-building.Planification et mise en œuvre d'une approche communautaire des programmes de réintégration des anciens combattantsDe nombreux programmes de réintégration se concentrent sur les anciens combattants plutôt que les communautés; cet axe central limité a donné lieu à des divisions parmi les membres des communautés et a eu un effet négatif sur les processus de réintégration dans de nombreux environnement d'après-guerre. Étant donné cette approche limitée de la réintégration, de plus en plus d'universitaires et de praticiens plaident en faveur d'une approche communautaire comme manière de remédier au ressentiment qui existe parmi les membres des communautés et en vue d'une pacification plus efficace. Mais comment les programmes communautaires de réintégration peuvent-ils être planifiés et mis en œuvre dans des environnements post-guerre? Ces recommandations se basent sur des recherches empiriques menées en Sierra Leone, qui étudient la façon dont les programmes communautaires de réintégration peuvent faciliter une pacification plus efficace.Planejamento e implementação de uma abordagem baseada na comunidade para programas de reintegração de ex-combatentesMuitos programas de reintegração concentram-se em ex-combatentes em vez de comunidades, e este enfoque limitado tem criado divisões entre membros da comunidade e processos de reintegração tensos em vários ambientes no pós-guerra. Tendo em vista esta limitada abordagem da reintegração, cada vez mais acadêmicos e profissionais da área prática estão defendendo uma abordagem baseada na comunidade (CB) como forma de abordar ressentimento entre membros da comunidade para um processo de construção da paz mais efetivo. Mas como os programas de integração baseados na comunidade podem ser planejados e implementados em ambientes no pós-guerra? Estas recomendações estão baseadas em pesquisa empírica em Serra Leoa, que explora como programas de integração baseados na comunidade podem promover uma construção da paz mais efetiva.La planeación y ejecución de un método comunitario para programas de inserción de excombatientesMuchos programas de inserción ponen más atención sobre los excombatientes que sobre las comunidades, y esta reducida visión ha generado divisiones entre los miembros de la comunidad y ha dificultado los procesos de inserción en muchos contextos de posguerra. Dadas las limitaciones de este planteamiento, varios académicos y especialistas prefieren el método basado en la comunidad (BC) como un modo de evitar los recelos que surgen entre los integrantes de las comunidades y agilizar la construcción de la paz. ¿Cómo se pueden planear y ejecutar programas de inserción BC en contextos de posguerra? Se hacen recomendaciones basadas en investigaciones empíricas realizadas en Sierra Leona que analizan cómo los programas de inserción BC podrían contribuir a una construcción de la paz más eficaz.
