COMMUNITY VOICES, SHARED SOLUTIONS: PEACE DIALOGUE IN RAJA
In Raja County, WBeGs Raja County, Peace Committee members and the team on the ground continue to facilitate weekly community peace dialogues bringing together host communities, refugees, returnees, IDPs and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The latest dialogue was held in Hai Musteshfa, bringing together community members from Hai Musteshfa and Hai Matar at one central gathering point.
Community members openly shared challenges affecting their daily lives, including limited access to clean water, education for children, healthcare and other basic necessities.
The dialogue provided a safe space for different groups to listen to one another, identify shared concerns and discuss practical solutions. Action points were jointly developed by refugees, host communities, returnees, IDPs and PWDs to support continued community engagement and peaceful coexistence.
Through these regular dialogues, communities are strengthening communication, participation and locally driven approaches to peace.
Youth Link South Sudan, with support from The United Methodist Church (UMCOR), continues to support communities in building dialogue, inclusion and sustainable peace.
