This conference was facilitated by Concordis International as part of the Sudan Peace-Building Initiative financed by the European Commission, focusing on conflict mitigation for Sudan’s Abyei area. Confidence building and conflict prevention initiatives for Abyei needed to take place in advance of the decision on the demarcation of the Abyei boundary, which is to be announced in mid to end-July of this year by the International Court of Arbitration in the Hague. Both the Abyei Area Administrator and his Deputy were made aware of the planned work and have expressed that it would be a constructive and timely exercise, which could complement their own initiatives to build peace in the area. Concordis engaged in preparations for the event in coordination with the team of the Civil Affairs department of the United Nations Mission In Sudan (UNMIS) on the ground in Abyei, as well as with the Sudanese Government’s Presidential Assessment and Evaluation Commission for Southern Kordofan State (PAEC SKS), and the Strategic Advisor for the Three Areas Donor Steering Group. The United States Agency for International Development’s Office of Transitional Initiatives (USAID OTI) played a role in supporting the logistical costs associated with the planned initiative.
