dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the research was to look into the societal, cost-effective, and political elements of ex-combatant's reintegration into Liberia, Nimba County. The study's three explicit objectives were to institute the nature of the consultative process to ex-combatant reintegration, the extent to which it has resulted in ex-combatant reintegration, and the challenges of the participatory approach to ex-combatant reintegration. According to the study, ex-combatants are empowered during civil conflicts, but after the battle and the reintegration program, empowerment and employment availability are not assured. In Liberia, the target population for the reintegration process was 98,000 ex-combatants. The sample size of 100 ex-combatants, both men and women, was determined using the Yamane equation. This thesis investigated; how well participatory technique is associated with more significant impact and consensus policy is correlated with higher strategy successful accomplishment, with focal point on economic suitability, cost-effective factors, opinionated, and societal components of sustainable reintegration. Charts, tables, and graphs were used in data presentation. The county and respondents were hand-picked by straightforward and purposeful random choice methods. An interview guide was administered to collect data from stakeholders such as former staff who worked throughout the reintegration program. For the flow of information, ex-combatants got semi-structured questionnaires. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used for the entry of figures or input scrutiny. Frequency tables, pie charts, and bar charts were commonly used to present data in a very informative manner. According to the study's finding breakdown of the data, the population revealed that most of the targeted fighters were male. However, some social workers were tasked with ensuring that Ex-fighters were grouped or matched to the right team; they encountered various challenges and issues. Ex-combatants, would refuse to take instructions or follow orders. In these circumstances, ex-military members would prefer to follow commands or directions from their superiors. These challenges made their tasks extremely difficult at the time and eventually distracted them from the county's reintegration process. With a few exceptions, the vast preponderance of warriors completed the reintegration process. According to the study, a long-term participatory reintegration policy that addresses ex-combatant's concerns during reintegration is effective. According to the study's findings, more consultation in the field of study is required to improve ex-combatant's reintegration into the Liberian society.en_US
