United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in South Sudan today launched its pilot projects at UN-House Protection of Civilians (PoC 1) within the Integrated Crisis Prevention and Recovery Program “Strengthening national capacities for Early Recovery, Peace Building and Reconciliation”. The Program aims at creating enabling conditions for the return and re-integration of internally displaced persons.
The Recovery Program has three pillars namely promoting peacebuilding and conflict prevention to facilitate reconciliation and conflict prevention, deepening democracy to support the consolidation of a political settlement within the framework of constitutionalism, credible transitional justice processes and promotion of the rule of law, and laying the foundations of early recovery efforts on economic revitalization, livelihoods and employment generation with a focus on stabilization and medium to long term recovery.
During the inauguration, Balazs Harvath UNDP Country Director said that the integrated prevention and recovery program is a pilot project and the intention is to replicate what UNDP does well and equally learn from challenges they encounter.
