An innovative new programme to promote social cohesion between politically divided communities and to pave the way for recovery across the region is designed to help communities in Yei, Lainya, Morobo and Kajo-Keji reconcile and end violence and create new incentives to sustain peaceful coexistence. It is funded by donations from the governments of Norway, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and Canada through the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Reconciliation, Stabilization, and Resilience in South Sudan (RSRTF), a joint initiative by UNMISS and the UN Country Team.
