Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) have become a key
component of the postconflict peacebuilding orthodoxy. Therefore, this study
evaluates the efficacy of Amnesty, Disarmament, Demobilisation and
Reintegration (ADDR) in conflict prevention and resolution using the 2009 Niger
Delta ADDR programme as a case study. The study evaluated the effectiveness
of the programme using the minimalist and maximalist framework advanced in
the DDR literature. The key findings and conclusions of the Study were that a
minimalist DDR would only achieve security stabilisation and return excombatants
to the status quo- ante society with all the pre-conflict grievances
unaddressed thereby bequeathing a high potential of relapse to violence.
Furthermore, for DDR to be an effective conflict prevention and resolution
mechanism and postconflict peacebuilding force, its conceptualisation, design
and implementation must be maximalist in nature with a transformative agenda
that aims to address the roots causes of violence.
