Today, 26 february 2025 the Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC) Advisory Board, led by Brigadier General Yusuf Ali, visited CDD-West Africa to discuss the future of rehabilitation and reintegration efforts in Nigeria. Since 2016, OPSC has provided a structured pathway for former combatants to disengage from armed groups through de-radicalisation, vocational training, and psychological support, helping them rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society.
As an early and long-standing partner, CDD-West Africa has played a crucial role in shaping and monitoring the program, ensuring that reintegration efforts are effective and sustainable. With the recent expansion of OPSC into Zamfara State and the upcoming graduation of 792 clients, it is more important than ever to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Sustainable peace requires a collaborative approach. By working together—government, civil society, and local communities—we can create an environment where rehabilitated individuals have the support they need to successfully reintegrate.
Together, we move forward!
