Mr. Kontogeorgos has spent more than ten years in field missions with UN Peacekeeping, serving as a Civil Affairs Officer in Kosovo and Lebanon, and as a DDR Senior Officer in Haiti, where he headed the Community Violence Reduction (CVR) programme. He is responsible for the development of the Section’s strategic vision and supervision.
Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Section
Through a process of removing weapons from the hands of members of armed groups, taking these combatants out of their groups and helping them to reintegrate as civilians into society, the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Section seeks to support ex-combatants and those associated with armed groups, so that they can become active participants in the peace process. In complex environments, this is often supported by Community Violence Reduction - an approach to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration that plays a key role in reducing tensions at the grassroots level while increasing opportunities for social cohesion and conflict resolution – thus creating space for political processes and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.
