Women and Children Health organization (WCHO) recognises that conflict is endemic among different communities, for example, the protracted conflict that persisted, conflict between nomadic tribes due to cattle raiding, conflict between nomadic tribes and farmers due to differing land use patterns, and conflict between internally displaced persons and host communities due to limited land suitable for settlement. WCHO seeks to promote peaceful and arms-free coexistence among communities of different ethnicity, cultural background, and economic livelihood especially women and girls’ including persons with disability security in South Sudan.
WCHO’s peace education program will aim to improve knowledge of principles and practices relating to peace building – including human rights, democratic principles, the nature of good governance, non-violent methods of conflict resolution, and ways to increase community security and reduce arms proliferation– and have them applied in practical ways in schools, local communities, and other settings.
