South Sudan Local Peace Process Brings Together Geographically & Ethnically Dive

South Sudan’s Committee for National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation (CNHPR) is hosting an intensive four-week training from 1–28 October, which brings together state chairpersons and representatives from all ten states. The training, will equip the 76 participants with the knowledge and skills to train a further 40–50 persons in their states so that next year, approximately 550 “peace mobilisers” will travel to payams across South Sudan to document reconciliation narratives and needs of the communities. The training is facilitated by the South African Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR), which brings ten years of experience of working on reconciliation issues throughout the continent.
