A friendly football match between UNMISS peacekeepers and women from Yambio set the scene for International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers commemorations which brought hundreds of people together to celebrate diversity, embrace unity, and support peace.
To build capacity and self-reliance, #UNMISS peacekeepers from India provided vocational training for 50 young people enduring difficult living conditions and a lack of opportunities in the #UN Protection of Civilians site in Malakal, #SouthSudan to boost their ability to find jobs and build businesses.
