Livelihoods & Peacebuilding

Natural Resource Management (NRM) peace committees, inter-community sports leagues, and Alternatives to Violence (AVP).

Sustainable peace and economic security are inseparable in South Sudan. Resource scarcity drives inter-communal friction, which EcoRise addresses through synergistic livelihoods and peace programming:
• Formation of Natural Resource Management (NRM) peace committees to mediate shared grazing and water disputes.
• Inter-community peace tournaments, sports leagues, and theatre for social cohesion.
• Alternatives to Violence Programs (AVP) tailored for youth in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools.
• Community Response Committee (CRC) small grants to kickstart peace-promoting community initiatives.

Target Beneficiaries (2025–2030): 6,000 direct beneficiaries (unemployed youth, women entrepreneurs, peace committee members, and pastoralists), positively impacting 24,000 community members.
