Gathering life histories of former Al-Shabaab members in Somalia

The Corioli Institute previously conducted consultations with the IOM in twofold capacities, firstly, on the impact assessment of their Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program for former members of Al-Shabaab, and secondly, on community reintegration practices for grounding the role of community leaders and tribal leaders as they relate to the state backed reintegration program. Currently, we are extending that project where we will be conducting life history interviews with former members of al-Shabab both male and female as well as members of the community and family who are receiving them.
