This report is an evaluation of the 2005 Ex-Combatants Reintegration and Restorative Justice Project. It assesses whether the dialogues undertaken in the second year of the pilot assisted with the project goals of community reconciliation and ex-combatant reintegration. It concludes that the dialogues were beneficial as they taught individuals and communities new mediation and negotiation skills. In addition, with regard to promoting ex-combatant reintegration and victim empowerment, the project also proved successful in terms of providing valuable skills for apprentice facilitators.
