Peacebuilding & Community Dialogue

Empowering Women and Children Through Peacebuilding & Community Dialogue in South Sudan

Addressing Conflict and Fragility Through Inclusive Dialogue

In South Sudan, prolonged conflict and ethnic divisions disproportionately impact women and children, destabilizing communities and limiting access to resources. LAWANCI prioritizes grassroots peacebuilding and inclusive dialogue to heal divides, reduce violence, and empower women as catalysts for reconciliation and stability.

Grassroots Peacebuilding Initiatives

LAWANCI establishes women-led peace committees in conflict-affected regions, training members in conflict mediation, trauma healing, and negotiation. These committees foster local solutions to disputes, promote interethnic cooperation, and address root causes of violence, such as resource competition and gender-based discrimination.

Community Dialogue and Reconciliation

We organize interethnic dialogues and peace forums, bringing together elders, youth, and women to share experiences and co-create reconciliation strategies. Through school-based peace clubs and curricula, we educate children on tolerance, non-violent communication, and the role of women in sustaining peace.

Creative Advocacy for Social Cohesion

LAWANCI uses community drama, storytelling, and art to amplify peace messages. These culturally resonant tools highlight the human cost of conflict, challenge harmful stereotypes, and inspire collective action toward unity, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.

Strengthening Women’s Role in Peace Processes

We advocate for women’s inclusion in formal peace negotiations and local governance. By training female leaders in advocacy and policy engagement, LAWANCI ensures their voices shape national frameworks, such as the 7-point peace agenda, to prioritize gender equality and child protection.

Collaborative Partnerships for Sustainable Peace

LAWANCI partners with schools, NGOs, and government agencies to scale peace education and resource-sharing. Joint initiatives include trauma counseling networks, community-led disarmament campaigns, and economic projects that unite rival groups through shared livelihood opportunities.

Policy Advocacy for Conflict-Sensitive Development

We influence national policies to integrate gender-responsive peacebuilding into education, healthcare, and economic programs. LAWANCI’s research-driven advocacy ensures laws address systemic drivers of conflict, such as land rights disputes and exclusion of marginalized groups.
