Abstract

The purpose of this study article is to investigate the effect that conditional cash transfers (CCTs) have on the effective demobilisation of fighters in areas that have been impacted by violence. It investigates the function of CCTs as a tool for policymakers to use in encouraging people to disassociate themselves from armed organisations and return to civilian life. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of CCTs in fostering long-term peace and stability via an examination of various case studies, current literature, and empirical data. In addition to this, it covers the difficulties and factors that should be considered while implementing CCT programmes in post-conflict contexts. According to the results, CCTs have the potential to have a major beneficial influence on successful demobilisation, contributing to the overarching objectives of conflict resolution and peacebuilding provided they are developed and implemented appropriately.
