This project aims to empower grassroots stakeholders and opinion leaders across South Sudan and broaden their space for engagement by providing a platform to enhance grassroots participation in national peace implementation, bridge subnational and national processes, facilitate dialogue between local constituencies and their national leaders, and influence national policy on sustainable peace themes. In lieu of an ARG, these forums will be organized by the Core Group, a group of partners who operate across the Country, including UNMISS (Civil Affairs, Political Affairs, CPIO and Gender), civil society, leading academics and advocates from Juba University, faith-based organizations, think tanks, national women groups, and influential international oversight bodies. The eight multi-day forums held in Juba will bring together local actors from across South Sudan as well as national level government representatives and representatives of the international community. Each forum will have a different theme, tailored to the ongoing political context and aimed at sensitising grassroots actors on the key issues and supporting them to engage with their national counterparts in advocating on behalf of their communities.
