Our Joint Programmes
Sustained Peace for Development: Conflict Prevention and Peace-Building in SudanThe programme aims to prevent conflict from relapsing in 4 bordering states of Sudan, by bolstering peace building, rule of law and socioeconomic recovery within -and between- vulnerable communities and local authorities in targeted areas and villages. The contested border area is one of the most complex conflict systems in the country, with increasingly serious tensions building since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005.
Creating opportunities for Youth Employment in SudanThe programme aims to provide skills development and livelihood opportunities to the youth with a focus on returnees and demobilised soldiers. 21 years of civil war has left an entire generation without access to education in the South. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2005 is providing an enabling environment for the return of more than four million displaced people.
