<p>Through the Conflict, Security, and Stability Fund (CSSF) the UK provides funding
for the South Sudan Council of Churches’ National Action Plan for Peace, which promotes
peacebuilding, reconciliation, and mediation efforts at the local level, dialogue
within and across communities, and between national level leaders.</p><p>The UK recognises
the vital role that women have to play in peacebuilding in South Sudan. We consistently
advocated for the inclusion of women (as well as faith groups, refugees, and internally
displaced people) in the peace process; and through sustained engagement (including
with women’s groups in Juba and across South Sudan), we will continue to do so as
implementation of the 12 September agreement proceeds. While we do not currently fund
any specific women-led peace initiatives in South Sudan, we continue to ensure that
women are fully represented in all CSSF funded peacebuilding activities, including
the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund, and the Conflict Early Warning and Early Response
System.</p>
