@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

[Maria E Lausund Drivenes @MariaELausund]

I think one of the interesting findings was the importance of level of development when it comes to inclusion. Having streetlights to be able to move safely in the neighbourhood - made citizens feel included. #CICIndicators

[Karoline K. Rønning @karolineronning]

@ndiafrica @resilienceworks @grant_masterson @MariaELausund What was the most unexpected finding from the research? #CICIndicators

[Maria E Lausund Drivenes @MariaELausund]

In South Sudan, regional differences were important to the respondents. Core governing institutions - national government, parliament, political parties, and police - differed widely. Most lack trust in these institutions to handle the problems facing South Sudan #CICIndicators

[NDI Africa Team @ndiafrica]

.@mariaelausund What was most important to respondents in South Sudan? #CICIndicators

[Maria E Lausund Drivenes @MariaELausund]

Inclusion also being feeling safe when discussing or participating in politics in everyday life. 81% felt unsafe participating in political activities, and most would not discuss openly #CICIndicators

[Lauren Van Metre @resilienceworks]

@ndiafrica For South Sudan, in the midst of violent conflict, inclusion is about physical security. How do my leaders protect me from violent conflict and consider my security needs? #CICindicators
