Looking at the #CICIndicators for #CICKenya and #CICSouthSudan it becomes clear that not all transitional spaces are the same. Understanding the unique context and needs of each space is essential to inclusive governance strategies

[Alex Calambokidis @ACalambokidis]

@resilienceworks @karolineronning @ndiafrica @grant_masterson @MariaELausund Very important--as practitioners, understanding how to support inclusive transitional processes not only benefits from but necessitates an understanding of what that means to the citizens and communities themselves #CICindicators @ndiafrica

[Lauren Van Metre @resilienceworks]

@karolineronning @ndiafrica @grant_masterson @MariaELausund Inclusion does not just mean a seat at the table...it means feeling safe and moving freely in your own environment. It means full participation.
