In the Leaders of Peace program (2021-2025), PAX works together with Plan International, HealthNet TPO and the South Sudanese NGOs EVE and AMA on gender equality in South Sudan. We strive for a society in which women and girls feel safe and contribute meaningfully in peace processes. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a strategic partner.
PAX aims at empowering the voices of South Sudanese individuals, activists and CSO’s towards peace & justice. This is done via advocacy training, coaching, provision of seed-grants and publications. PAX is linking local and national partners and activists to each other and to a wider national and international platform.
In 2021, Ian Lundin and Alex Schneiter from Lundin Oil have been indicted for complicity in grave war crimes in Sudan from 1999 to 2003. PAX has been working on the Lundin case for over a decade. PAX believes that justice for the victims of the civil wars in Sudan and South Sudan is a prerequisite for peace and reconciliation. For justice to be done, it is crucial that all perpetrators and their accomplices are held to account and that those who have benefitted from crimes do not escape their duty to contribute to the victims' right to remedy and reparation.
