Introduction

• This presentation covers key components of the
  Approaches to Sustainable Peace Paper.
  
• It covers the DDR, Mine Action Authority and Rule
  of Law Good Governance (Police, JOSS, Prisons)
  
• The presentation is set against the background of
  the opportunities as provided for by the CPA.

4
Opportunities - CPA

• The CPA brought peace, created environment for
  building democratic governance and initiated
  recovery programmes.
  
• The CPA provides an overall vision and broad
  strategies to guide peace and stability, good
  governance and development processes in
  post-conflict Southern Sudan.
• The CPA recognizes the political and
  administrative autonomy of Southern Sudan.

5
Background InfoSmall Arms Proliferation

• Introduction of firearms into Southern Sudanese
  society dated back to colonial era.
  
• Due to the civil wars, the volume and
  sophistication of armaments has increased
  tremendously.
  
• Small arms are used in traditional or sectional
  fights, cattle raids, abduction, robbery, etc.

6
Background InfoSmall Arms Proliferation.

• Many communities are impoverished and others
  displaced as a direct result of this.
  
• Vast areas of Southern Sudan is not de-mined
• Hence many lives are being lost mobility and
  activities such as farming and grazing etc are
  also restricted.
  
• The main victims are mothers and children.

7
Community Peace Initiative Rationale

• There is major threat to peace and instability
  through out Southern Sudan
  
• The possession of illegal arms in the hands of
  untrained civilians
  
• Prevalence of landmines in economically important
  areas
  
• Absence of laws and order in remote places

8
Community Peace Initiative Rationale.

• Insecurity is an obstacle to a full
  implementation of the CPA.
  
• There are immense difficulties to mobilize
  resources and deliver social services among
  warring communities.
  
• Development programs that constitute integral
  part of CPA cannot be implemented due to
  insecurity.
  
• Skills building and infrastructure support to
  laws enforcement organs such as police, prison,
  judiciary and the likes is one of the more sure
  way to sustain peace in the Sudan.

  with

  Demobilization Commission,
