2015 SS008 Partnerships for Peace

The people of South Sudan continue to live in an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The internal conflict which broke out in December 2013 saw 2.3 million people displaced - the majority of them children - with millions more facing an uncertain future. The conflict has crippled the education system and resulted in the breakdown of vital infrastructure. This project supports organisations in society to include children in the community and decision making process, so that they can work on democratic conflict resolutions and peace. Approximately 20,000 children will learn to speak up about the issues they face and call for change in society, both nationally and internationally.
