Promoting Inclusive Peacebuilding and Sustainable Livelihoods through Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship.

Projekt abgeschlossen
South Sudan finds itself in lasting state of fragility and chronic conflict that has impacted the social fabric of its population. The project will address deeply rooted social aspects of conflict by training and supporting young peacemakers to engage in conflict resolution and community dialogues. Combined with the promotion of youth-led businesses, the project intends to reduce the risk of the youth entering cycles of despairs and violence. Thereby, it contribute to sustainable development and a longer-term stability in South Sudan.

Das Projekt in Kürze

Hintergrund	With more than 70% of its population composed of youth, a major challenge for South Sudan is to address their needs and aspirations, to prevent them from entering cycles of despair and violence. In addition to the problems deriving directly from the conflict – youth are faced with a number of social and cultural challenges that prevent them to fully deploy their potential as key stakeholders of the nation. In a country awash with weapons and few economic opportunities, stealing cows is often the only way for young men to pay the dowry enabling them to marry.
Ziele	The overall goal of the programme is the improvement of the conditions for lasting peace, sustainable development and resilience through the dissemination of values, attitudes and behaviours conducive to dialogue and mutual respect as well as the creation of income-generating opportunities.
Zielgruppen	Pupils, students and young men and women from the payams of CES, Western Equatoria State (WES) and Eastern Equatoria State (EES). Communities in the Equatorias as a whole.
Mittelfristige Wirkungen	Communities and local authorities have more exchanges, mediate conflicts and promote peace and human rights Youth gain autonomy, social recognition and professional experience – and demonstrate that youth is a resource for positive change. Youth have increased access to job opportunities and are less inclined to join armed groups or gangs.
Resultate	Erwartete Resultate: Communities are sensitized to values of peace, dialogue and tolerance through activities with pupils in schools and the training for youth in mediation and conflict resolution Youth are provided with community learning centers and supported in gaining business skills – and backed to develop businesses of their own Opportunities for civic engagement and for income generating activities are created Resultate von früheren Phasen: This is a single phase without previous support by Switzerland.
