Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. For over 80 years we have been building powerful partnerships for children and girls, and we are active in over 80 countries. Plan International has been working in South Sudan since 2009 and in close collaboration with the key stakeholders at all levels to bring positive and sustainable changes in the lives of children and girls of South Sudan.
2020 marked the 20th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 NSCR1325) on women, peace and security. Therefore, it is time to re-emphasize the important role of (young) women in peacebuilding in South Sudan. The voices of young people, girls and boys, need to be heard in these dialogues and reconciliation processes – especially those at the heart of conflict. It remains crucial that the positive contribution of women and youth to sustainable peace and state building is recognized, supported and celebrated. In this light, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched several grant instruments under the Policy Framework for Strengthening Civil Society (2021-2025) at the end of 2019. One of the grant instruments is the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) grant instrument. The Leaders of Peace alliance, consisting of Plan International (lead), HealthNet TPO (HNTPO), AMA (Assistance Mission for Africa), EVE and PAX, has been granted a five-year Programme under this grant instrument. The Leaders of Peace Programme runs from January 2021 to December 2025 and is based on the 1) UNSCR 1325 and the nine resolutions that followed it, 2) the Theory of Change of the Dutch NAP 1325 (2016-2020) and 3) the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5 and 16.
The LoP Programme focusses on enhancing women participation in peace and security. In 2025 the LoP programme will undergo an external end evaluation. The LoP ETE will be conducted in four states of Unity, Lakes, Western Equatoria, Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria. Specific locations of consortium partners and result areas/outcomes will be provided once additional information is obtained from partners.
