USIP’s new Priority Grant Program in Sudan, the North-South Border Initiative, will work to address drivers of conflict along the North-South border, and help Sudanese actors manage sources of instability. As part of the launch of this program, USIP commissioned Concordis International to undertake a conflict assessment of the dynamics related to the North-South border in Sudan, identifying local and national drivers of conflict and how they interact. The conflict assessment draws on desk and field research as well as a series of Concordis workshops that have taken place in seven of the ten border states so far. It identifies key local and national conflict flashpoints related to the North-South border and outlines challenges and opportunities for their resolution.

Join us for a discussion of the results of this assessment between the research team and Sudan experts.
