INTRODUCTION Gender-based violence (GBV) threatens the overall well-being of South Sudan’s population, particularly women and children. Though there are no reliable GBV national prevalence statistics for South Sudan, one recent study estimated that in some conflict-affected locations 65 percent of women and girls in South Sudan have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.1 The USAID/South Sudan Mission recognizes that GBV has not only negative consequences for those who experience violence, but also has a negative impact on efforts to promote peace, resilience, economic prosperity for women/girls and men/ boys, and for development in South Sudan across all sectors. As a result, the Mission hired Banyan Global to develop a GBV roadmap to identify measurable and trackable interventions to prevent and respond to GBV across the mission’s priority sectors. 1.1 ROADMAP OBJECTIVE This roadmap aims to equip USAID/South Sudan USAID South Sudan Goal staff with succinct guidance to design and implement for Addressing GBV effective strategies and interventions that integrate GBV prevention and response within the current USAID South Sudan’s goal is to make a USAID/South Sudan Operational Framework measurable and trackable contributions (2016-present) and Interim Performance Management to GBV prevention, mitigation, and Plan (I-PMP) (valid until 2021). It identifies GBV response in South Sudan. programming gaps and proposes next steps for the remaining two years of the current I-PMP to This contribution will be measured by implement in coordination with other key stakeholders the amount of USD invested per sector (government, civil society organizations, national that is specifically for GBV prevention, and international NGOs, and other donors) carrying mitigation, and response and by out programming on GBV prevention and response. measuring sector-based results. To support the implementation of next steps, the Roadmap also includes key resources and tools that are particularly applicable in the South Sudan context. 1.2 STRUCTURE OF ROADMAP Recognizing the scale and scope of GBV in South Sudan, this two-year GBV Roadmap provides specific and measurable recommendations for the Mission to raise awareness and commitment and ultimately to mitigate and respond to GBV in targeted communities where USAID projects and activities are implemented. The GBV Roadmap has four core sections: • Section 2: Integrating GBV in the USAID/South Sudan Operational Framework: This section provides a Theory of Change (TOC) and an overview of how to integrate GBV into the Mission’s current operational framework • Section 3: GBV Roadmap Programmatic Guiding Principles: This section offers cross-sectoral guidance on approaches to GBV programming within the South Sudan context. • Section 4: GBV Prevention and Response Roadmap: Key Pathways for Action: This section provides a strategic and programmatic roadmap for the Mission’s GBV prevention and response programming in alignment with the Mission’s operational framework. It focuses on key actions to USAID/SOUTH SUDAN GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ROADMAP 9 make the TOC actionable, including how to enhance the mission staff’s GBV literacy and capacity, and how to implement programming in priority sectors including: health and water, sanitation and hygiene; education; economic growth; democracy and governance/peace and reconciliation; and humanitarian assistance. Within this context it draws linkages to the guiding principles in Section 3. • Section 5: Guidelines to address GBV in Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL): This section includes proposed actions for USAID/South Sudan to enhance monitoring, evaluation, and learning on the GBV programming included in Section 4. • Section 6: Key GBV Programming Resources: This section provides programming resources, including many that are linked directly the recommendations in Section 4. Annex A presents the Literature Review that includes part of the evidence for the Roadmap; Annex B is the USAID Program and Donor Report that informed this Roadmap; Annex C includes details on the proposed GBV literacy training discussed in Section 4; Annex D provides a list of key documents consulted; and Annex E lists key stakeholders interviewed for this Roadmap. 10 USAID/SOUTH SUDAN GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ROADMAP 2.

  • Women's Informal Peace Efforts
    CMI BRIEF 2018:7 1 NUMBER 7 CMI BRIEF NOVEMBER 2018 Photo courtesy of Isis-WICCE Women’s informal peace efforts: Grassroots activism in South Sudan AUTHORS South Sudanese women have been grossly under-represented Helen Kezie-Nwoha in formal peace negotiations. However, they have been active Juliet Were in informal peacebuilding at the local level where peace means rebuilding society. Such informal peacebuilding is radically different to formal peace negotiations where male warlords and political leaders in new positions of power divide the spoils of war. This brief describes women’s informal peace work in South Sudan, and shows the extensive and valuable, but often unrecognized work that women’s organizations do. We also look at how women’s roles in formal processes are informed by women’s informal work. 2 CMI BRIEF 2018:7 Methodology In this study, we conducted individual and focus groups discussions with women activists from groups located in South Sudan and in Uganda. We completed 21 individual interviews, eight focus group discussions (with a total of 111 women) and two community meetings with 90 women in all. The interviews were conducted between June 2017 and July 2018. Fighting between different warring factions caused delays and made it difficult to access study locations. The long road to peace Women’s role in formal peace processes South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on 9 July 2011. Since then, South Sudan has been marred by internal conflicts.

  • Sudan: the Crisis in Darfur and Status of the North-South Peace Agreement
    Sudan: The Crisis in Darfur and Status of the North-South Peace Agreement Ted Dagne Specialist in African Affairs June 1, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33574 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Sudan: The Crisis in Darfur and Status of the North-South Peace Agreement Summary Sudan, geographically the largest country in Africa, has been ravaged by civil war intermittently for four decades. More than 2 million people have died in Southern Sudan over the past two decades due to war-related causes and famine, and millions have been displaced from their homes. In July 2002, the Sudan government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) signed a peace framework agreement in Kenya. On May 26, 2004, the government of Sudan and the SPLM signed three protocols on Power Sharing, on the Nuba Mountains and Southern Blue Nile, and on the long disputed Abyei area. The signing of these protocols resolved all outstanding issues between the parties. On June 5, 2004, the parties signed “the Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in the Sudan.” On January 9, 2005, the government of Sudan and the SPLM signed the final peace agreement at a ceremony held in Nairobi, Kenya. In April 2010, Sudan held national and regional elections. In January 2011, South Sudan held a referendum to decide on unity or independence. Abyei was also expected to hold a referendum in January 2011 to decide whether to retain the current special administrative status or to be part of South Sudan.

    Developing Country Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-607X (Paper) ISSN 2225-0565 (Online) Vol.5, No.8, 2015 Building Legitimate and Accountable government in South Sudan Re-thinking inclusive governance in the post CPA-2005 Dalmas O. Omia Research fellow, Institute of Anthropology, Gender and African Studies, University of Nairobi, Kenya Email: [email protected] Josephine Anyango Obonyo Ph.D Lecturer Institute of Women Gender and Development Studies, Egerton University, Kenya Email: [email protected] Abstract Inclusive governance is significant to the realisation of democracy and peace dividends in states emerging from conflict. In principle, it offers platform for equitable representation of the ethnic majority, minority, marginalised and indigenous groups in public decision making bodies as well as ensuring that these groups benefit equally from development initiatives. In South Sudan, the exercise of inclusivity has been marred with contradictions between constitutional provisions and extant practices, for example, political parties are found to be the foci for rewarding the ‘warlords’ dubbed as freedom fighters at the expense of participatory civilian structures, the nerves of ethnic factionalism over nationalism, exercise of centralised nomination system, all of which breed disaffection and tensions among the citizenry. Moreover, the observed militarisation of public service, perception of ethnic favouritism in public employment and appointments, the ‘felt’ development marginalisation of regions outside Central Equitoria, and unequal share of national resources comprise practices that violate the foundations of inclusive governance. In effect, these malpractices around inclusivity have fermented call for federalism (return to 23 semi-autonomous colonial districts with federal mandates) as a viable inclusive development platform over the current constitutionally mandated decentralisation (where South Sudan is sub- divided into 10 states).

  • Country Gender Profile Republic of South Sudan Final Report
    Country Gender Profile Republic of South Sudan Final Report March 2017 Japan International Cooperation Agency（JICA） IC Net Limited EI JR 17-047 Summary Socio-Economic Situation and Gender in South Sudan General Situation of South Sudan/Conflicts in South Sudan The area comprising South Sudan is about 1.7 times the size of Japan with an estimated population of 11.7 million. The majority of which are engaged in nomadic grazing and agriculture. The country has more than 60 ethnic groups and the tensions among them have been a serious issue. The economy depends on its oil reserves. South Sudan achieved its independence in 2011 after two civil wars. However, it is still politically unstable, and this instability has culminated in the political clashes in December 2013 and July 2016. Armed conflicts continue and severely affect the lives of its population. Conflict and Women Conflicts severely affect South Sudanese women socially, economically, physically and psychologically. Sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war during and even after the civil wars, and women continue to suffer. South Sudanese women were also mobilized as soldiers or as supporters during the civil wars. Their involvement in the civil wars has paved the way for their political engagement and the establishment of the Ministry of Gender. Women struggled to play an active role in peace negotiations. They have been successful to some extent and have been able to send some of their own as members of a negotiation team. However, there is a long way to go in order to have women at the official negotiation table.
