The conflicts in Liberia and Sierra Leone, as well as their DDR processes, are often paired together. Liberia borrowed from and inherited reintegration programs in Sierra Leone, and adopted many of the ideas and assumptions that underpinned programs there. But a closer look at the Liberian conflict reveals that similarities in terms of the nature, duration, and outcomes of political violence are few. And although the reintegration programs initially offered to ex-combatants in Liberia replicated some of the least successful elements of programs in Sierra Leone (namely, by emphasizing vocational training), in Liberia actors designed several innovative and labor-intensive programs that followed original efforts. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
