Abstract

This consultation was facilitated by Concordis International as part of the Sudan Peace-Building Initiative financed by the European Commission, with the support of the Southern Sudan Peace Commission and the Standing Committee on Peace and Reconciliation in the Southern Sudanese Legislative Assembly. Seventeen participants attended in a personal capacity—these were invited from a number of Southern Sudanese governmental institutions mandated to contribute towards peace and security as well as from international organisations and local and international NGOs seeking to contribute to the resolution of conflicts and to peace and stability in Southern Sudan. The participants spoke under the Chatham House Rule in order to ensure a frank and open exchange of views on the potentially sensitive issues covered. Concordis provided a series of expert presentations for participants, sharing principles and approaches relevant to the de-escalation of conflict and the establishment of sustainable peace and security. Participants recognised that the expert presentations provide a valuable resource, which can inform local strategies to de-escalate conflicts, build confidence and develop sustainable security in Southern Sudan.
