IDDRTG AGM 2023 1
The Integrated Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Training Group (IDDRTG) is a community of a total of 20 international organizations whose aim is to provide an integrated approach to DDR with a focus on planning, management and implementation of the process.
Gracing the opening was Brigadier Joyce Sitienei. She emphasized the importance of DDR. β€œWhat I like about today’s integrated DDR processes is how it forces all of us – that is, international agencies, regional organizations, governments, training institutions and other practitioners to adopt community-centred approaches in DDR programme design and implementation,” she affirmed.

Anchored on preparation, the course will see the participants imparted with the requisite knowledge that will enable them to prepare effectively in the event of a disaster. Foreseeing the disaster as the course deems, is crucial in cushioning losses on lives, livelihoods, as well as economic, physical, social, cultural, and environmental assets.

The participants, 35 in number, are majorly from the National Defence University- Kenya (NDU-K) pursuing a Master's Programme in Conflict Related Disaster Management, together with UNDP staff, members of the Danish Refugee Council, and members from St. John's Ambulance.
Officiating the opening ceremony was the Vice Chancellor NDU-K, Major General S M Farah. In his remarks, the VC was well aware of the implications that beckon when disaster strikes.

He also urged the participants to exchange their thoughts and experiences as they curve their careers as crisis response and disaster management experts.
