Officially launched in Yambio on 8 July, two new peacebuilding initiatives are bringing together the Government of South Sudan, UNESCO, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UN Women to expand opportunities for women and young people to become leaders of peace in their communities. The projects are funded by the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF), with complementary parallel financing from the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Over the next three years, the initiatives will invest in leadership, skills development, livelihood opportunities, digital empowerment and community dialogue, helping women and young people build resilience, counter misinformation and hate speech, and contribute to peaceful and inclusive communities.
