HEALING FRACTURES LIVE: Reconciliation and reintegration in Rwanda

This paper focuses on the lessons learned and current situation in terms of reconciliation and
reintegration efforts in Rwanda. Taking the Fostering Reconciliation and Socio-Economic
Reintegration in Rwanda project implemented by International Alert and its partners as its starting
point, it describes and analyses the main features of reconciliation and reintegration efforts in
Rwanda. The target groups it considers are genocide survivors, former combatants, ex-prisoners
and youth. While each of these groups has had different experiences of the genocide period and
its aftermath, all have been affected by the violence psychologically, socially and economically.
