Energizing Reform is a project implemented by IIHLR, Ceasefire, PAX and PFO to make citizens voices heard in Baghdad and Erbil. Project runtime: 2020 – 2021
In its work, PAX seeks to advance nonviolence and just peace. Nonviolence responds to violence and injustice through the power of love in action.
The Action Plan for Peace (APP) is the home-grown and Church-led strategy of the South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC), comprehensively addressing the root causes and long-term effects of conflict through Advocacy, Neutral Forums, Healing and Reconciliation. PAX has worked with the APP since 2018.
At all PAX South Sudan locations, PAX plays movies directed towards youth through means of a mobile cinema.
In South Sudan, peace organization PAX works with several organizations to strengthen women’s leadership skills and to raise their participation in political decision-making, peace initiatives, and in handling security issues. This program’s long-term objective is to make women’s lives safer and to increase their influence on political decision-making.
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 2019, the governments of South Sudan and Kenya signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), agreeing to demarcate their common border. In the past, unclarity and contestation about the location of this border has resulted in a disputed area, called the Ilemi Triangle. PAX has done research on the Ilemi Triangle, placing the pastoralist perspective in the context of the border demarcation process.
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.
