	Hi, My name is Fiona McKenzie and I've been involved in TakingItGlobal for four years now. I wanted to send this message to the ASEAN Youth Leadership Forum group because I think there may be people who can help me in this group. I'm currently working on a project on disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) within wider post-conflict transitional assistance programmes for the Overseas Development Institute (ODI - http://www.odi.org.uk) as part of my Masters at the London School of Economics. I know there are young people within TIG who have first-hand experience of transitional assistance programmes, which include anything from quick-impact projects (usually implemented by the military) to humanitarian assistance or long-term aid, and I want to know about your experiences as young people in these programmes. Transitional assistance refers to the "assistance" given in post-conflict situations while reconstruction occurs. Transitional assistance can take place over the short-term or long-term and may include practical projects like rebuilding schools and infrastructure or reintegration programmes etc. If you've had any involvement in transitional assistance programmes anywhere, please either send me a message through TIG (http://profiles.takingitglobal.org/Fi) or email me at f.k.mckenzie (at) lse.ac.uk with the type of programme, where and when it happened, and your general experiences. Anything you can tell me would be useful at this stage! You can find out more about the whole project at http://www.odi.org.uk/HPG/cluster4_DDR.htm Thanks so much for your time!
