On 17 and 18 November 2009, UNPOS, in collaboration with UNDP, organised a two-day Disarmament Demobilisation and Rehabilitation (DDR) Workshop for the newly established Somali Ministry of DDR. The purpose of the workshop was to, among other issues, discuss the existing challenges of the Armed Groups in Somalia and have an overview of Lessons Learned from previous DDR processes that did not work. Day two of the workshop was utilised to support the Minister for DDR to draw a Roadmap/Action Plan for six months starting from January 2010. Other participants in the workshop included UNICEF and two representatives from the President's and Prime Minister's Offices, respectively.
