United Nations Policy for Post-Conflict Employment Creation, Income Generation and Reintegration

Attachments

In post-conflict situations, employment is vital to short-term stability, reintegration, economic growth and sustainable peace. This United Nations policy paper contributes to a common understanding and provides a United Nations approach to employment and reintegration, built around a set of guiding principles and programming guidelines designed to support programming at country level. The policy aims to help scale up and to maximize the impact, coherence and efficiency of support provided to post-conflict countries by United Nations programmes, funds and specialized agencies. Specific attention is given to the needs and capacities of conflict-affected groups, with particular attention to issues relating to unemployed women and youth. An operational guidance note sets out the implementation and institutional arrangements among the different United Nations bodies in this field.
