#UNSCR1325#WPS
In #SouthSudan, local #peacebuilders are often seen as less influential, despite ‘inclusive national ownership’ & not ‘national ownership’ underpinning #SustainingPeace➡️#SSTC should support diverse local peacebuilders incl. women & youth, as critical #peacebuilding stakeholders.
#PBC briefing: Encourage the #PBF to fund more projects focused on knowledge exchange & co-creation by diverse #LocalPeacebuilders.
Local communities need space to co-design their own projects & not be implementers of projects already designed by #UN entities receiving grants.
Edmund Yakani, GPPAC member @ceposouthsudan1 briefed #PBC on how South-South & Triangular Cooperation #SSTC = real opportunity to shift decision-making power to national & local actors, advancing #peace & stability in #SouthSudan. His full statement here 🔗https://t.co/dCkBZk9C6y
#PBC briefing: Many #peacebuilding projects in #SouthSudan include local participation but not local ownership. National ownership would mean that programming supported by the #PBF is a part of inclusive national vision of peacebuilding.
#PBC briefing: If political will for #NationalPreventionStrategies should come from within, why are most discussions happening at global level?🔁Shift conversations to national & regional levels, allowing capital experts & #LocalPeacebuilders to co-design & co-own the concept.
#PBC briefing: #Localisation should be seen as a process in which countries and the people in the Global South analyse and determine solutions based on learning ‘from within’ and from their brothers and sisters around the world.
