Conflict Rapid Response and Reduction Project

Conflict Rapid Response and Reduction Project

January 2007 - December 2007

Donors: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

This project was designed to contribute additional training and capacity building for local authorities and community-based organizations in Jonglei state. Unless greater assistance is provided to state and county government to maintain stability, it is unlikely that conflict can be sufficiently mitigated to allow the safe and sustainable reintegration of people back to Jonglei or for the benefits of the comprehensive peace agreement to accrue to the whole community. Pact utilized this funding to provide additional training and basic materials and equipment to local peace committees to strengthen their capacity to manage and mitigate violent conflict and to local peace institutions for promotion of dialogue and conflict mitigation meetings.
