Charlotte Watson is a specialist in conflict resolution, security and peacebuilding issues. Her work focuses on how security and justice is provided to, and accessed by, those living in conflict prone and affected countries. Charlotte’s areas of expertise include: ensuring a people-centred approach to security programming which recognises differing needs according to age, gender and standing in society; the impact of the return and reintegration of ex-combatants on their communities; and how security programming can best support long term development goals and conflict prevention Charlotte has over ten years of experience in this field, predominantly as a Senior Programme Officer for International Alert. She developed Alert’s public security work in Nepal from 2006 to 2009, and conducted community security assessments in Liberia in 2005 and 06. Charlotte  has advised the EU on its Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration policy since 2006, including the development of the EU Concept on DDR. She was a key member of the Biting the Bullet project (Alert, Saferworld and the University of Bradford) which researched and monitored the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms from 2003-2006. Charlotte has written and presented on the role of the private sector in reintegration, and has been a facilitator on Alert and Transition International’s high level reintegration courses.
