Establishment of GFZs

The GFZs analysed for this paper were either established in post-conflict settings, such as the Solomon Islands and Sierra Leone or in countries heavily affected by (urban) armed violence, such as South Africa, El Salvador and Colombia. In post-conflict settings, GFZs were implemented in parallel with or shortly after disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programmes.
