What we do

How it fits together
Peace makes schooling possible. Schooling makes livelihoods possible. Livelihoods make peace durable.
The five objectives are not a menu. Each one depends on the others holding, which is why IPI does not deliver them in isolation.
Peacebuilding & Social Cohesion
“Conflict in South Sudan is local before it is national. So is peace.”
Unity State (Koch, Leer, Panyijiar) and selected payams in Central Equatoria
Objective
To prevent conflict and strengthen peaceful coexistence through inclusive dialogue, mediation and advocacy.
Key interventions
- Community peace dialogues and reconciliation forums
- Conflict mediation and early-warning initiatives at community level
- Peace education and civic engagement campaigns targeting youth and women
- Advocacy for peaceful coexistence and non-violent conflict resolution
- Strengthening community peace committees and local leadership structures
Expected outcomes
