Afghan New Beginnings Programme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afghan New Beginnings Programme aims to disarm, demobilise and reintegrate thousands of combatants from the Afghan Militia Forces and provide them opportunities to join the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police or an alternative line of work.
It also aims to demobilise and reintegrate thousands of child combatants in Afghanistan.[1] Many boys in Afghanistan were born into war. They have never known peace, but instead have encountered banditry and murder. A number of boy soldiers were conscripted for the sexual gratification of Mujaheddin and Taliban commanders.[2] The programme is funded by UNICEF.[2]
