About eighty-five ex-combatants who missed out on the disarmament program would arrive in the country in October.
The eighty-five former fighters are currently undergoing Psycho-social and other vocational skills training programs at the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana.
The local NGO, National Ex-combatants and Peace Initiative (NEPA) is implementing the project with support from Mediators Beyond Borders.
The National Program Coordinator of NEPA, Johnson Borh said the exercise would afford the ex-combatants the opportunity to contribute more meaningfully to society.
A board member of Mediators Beyond Borders, Probha Sankaranarayan said her team intends to help bridge the training gap left behind by the disarmament program.
She said the eighty-five ex-combatants would be reintegrated in Margibi, Grand Bassa and Grand Gedeh Counties.
The four-man American delegation, which also included David Joseph, a founding member of Mediators Beyond Borders has since returned to the U.S.
