Local conflicts have a long history in Unity State, South Sudan, but so do local means of resolving them.
Local capacities to address community level conflicts continue to exist, although they are strained by the increased number and severity of local level conflicts.
Following five years of work supporting local peacebuilding in the Sudanese province of South Kordofan, Peace Direct commissioned a mapping of local peacebuilding capacities in Unity State, across the border in South Sudan.
The aim was to map local organisations and other actors, as well as the international organisations supporting local peacebuilding.
