Alternate dispute resolution mechanisms and peace building

  • a) Organized kinship integration system to accommodate and reintegrate IDPs and returnees into host communities. This means the local government administration together with traditional leaders should mobilize local communities to set up mechanisms to receive, resettle and assist their kin to integrate into host communities within their territories. ƒ
  • b) Increased access to resources of livelihood and regulated sharing mechanisms of such resources without gender segregation. ƒ
  • c) Promote dialogue between IDPs, refugees and host communities on issues of resource sharing and participation of all communities in decisions about their livelihoods. ƒ
  • d) Capacity building of extension workers, animal health workers and community leaders in methodologies and skills of conflict resolution and application to cattle owning communities.
  • e) Consolidation of production capacities of host and returnee communities through quick impact micro-projects that would promote interactions and transactions between the returnees and host communities.
  • f) Promotion of the rights-based approaches to rehabilitation, development and service delivery where tradition discriminates against sectors of the population. ƒ
  • g) Promotion of sustained dialogue between local governance institutions and local community leaders, including traditional leaders and CBOs, to provide an opportunity for the elimination of some inefficient structure

ARDI-SS

Agenda for Relief and Development Initiative-South Sudan (ARDI-SS), is a South Sudanese national non-governmental humanitarian organization with its head Office in Juba, the Capital of South Sudan and field Offices in Northern Bahr El Ghazal State-Aweil and Renk County, Upper Nile State—Renk is an area grappling with the twin crises of conflict and climate change. Renk has seen an influx of returnees and internally displaced people, where floodwaters, desertification, and fuel wood scarcity compound displacement and deepen trauma. ARDI’s work is grounded in community dialogue and trauma healing, especially for women and children facing displacement-related gender-based violence and emotional stress. With CJRF support, ARDI is implementing a one-year project to reduce non-economic loss and damage through a multi-pronged approach. CJRF is supporting ARDI for its grounded, inclusive approach to recovery—one that honours dignity, cultural identity, and emotional healing in the face of immense loss.
