| Overview : UNDP’s Community Security & Arms Control (CSAC) project supports the Government of South Sudan’s efforts to build social cohesion, stability, peace and security for conflict affected communities in the country. This support contributes towards responsive democratic governance, rule of law, improved recovery & development planning in South Sudan. CSAC provides technical and financial support to the Bureau for Community Security & Small Arms Control (BCSSAC), the South Sudan Peace & Reconciliation Commission (SSPRC), and the National Platform for Peace & Reconciliation (NPPR) in fostering dialogue, peace and reconciliation, while improving community security and strengthening broader post-conflict recovery initiatives. UNDP aims to partner with CSOs, NGOs and CBOs and institutions of learning identified through this request for proposals in order to foster collective civic actions at state, county, payams and boma level that ultimately contribute towards sustainable and durable peace in South Sudan. The successful partners should have legitimacy and credibility at the community level with a track record of implementing similar activities. The partners will be engaged through a small grants mechanisms. UNDP’s support to civil society is closely linked to other output areas of the CSAC project, reinforcing the output of the overall programme. In that sense, the activities will contribute to county-level stabilization initiatives at the local level, which were identified through participatory community consultations. |
