ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
The objective of the South Sudan Reconciliation, Stabilization, and Resilience Trust Fund (South Sudan RSRTF) is to provide strategic financing to integrated programs that together lessen the destructive drivers of conflict and develop more peaceful and, ultimately, self-reliant communities. The Fund will focus on supporting activities to achieve durable intra- and inter-community reconciliation and to foster stable environments in which communities can engage constructively on resilience. Through adaptive, complementary reconciliation, stabilization and resilience efforts the intent is to attain lasting change, supporting communities to realize the long-term, economic and livelihood gains of sustained peace. Through an area-based programming approach, the Fund will bring together UN agencies, NGOs and the Mission to collectively work with communities in pursuing opportunities for transformational change, to move beyond cycles of conflict and violence. The approach will reinforce sustainable and inclusive, community driven programming that builds on existing resources including lessons and reflections on local practices and capacities for peace. Phase I of this pilot project ran successfully from October 2019 to November 2021, with a 24-month Phase II recently granted from December 2021 through November 2023.
