UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Purpose

This project is Canada’s contribution to the Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Reconciliation, Stabilization, Resilience (RSRTF) in South Sudan. The RSRTF ensures conflict drivers are addressed through highly contextualized, conflict-sensitive, integrated, multi-year resilience and stabilization programming in volatile areas of the country. The RSRTF aims to foster and incentivize consortium programming across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus to deliver area-based programing rooted in locally-led analysis and program design. Peace and Stabilization Operations Program funding supports new area-based programming between 2021 and 2023, including support to existing area-based programs in Unity, Warrap, Western Bahr El Ghazal, Jonglei states and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area. Canada’s contribution supports a small grant window to provide flexible funding for short-term projects to respond to emerging windows of opportunities that promote peacebuilding, stabilization and resilience efforts that may fall outside the planned area-based programs.
