FOLKE BERNADOTTE ACADEMY


FBA SUECIA.pngThe Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA) is the Swedish government agency for peace, security and development which operates in countries affected by armed conflicts. 

Since 2007, the FBA has supported the Agency for Reincorporation and Normalization (ARN) to strengthen the re​integration and reincorporation processes in Colombia and has been a historical ally in terms of technical assistance, capacity building and training schemes for officials. 

The FBA has been a key partner in strengthening gender equality, knowledge management and training on international DDR standards. This stakeholder has also facilitated the exchange of experiences and knowledge with other countries in conflict situations that are undergoing DDR processes.
