By Jok P Mayom JUBA, 01 July 2015 [Gurtong]-Peter Kuot Ngong, the Communication’s Manager of the organisation said in a statement on Wednesday that the grassroots consultations were facilitated by the 55 Peace Mobilizers CNHPR trained in Kuacjok from late April to early May, 2015. “Supervised by six Lead Peace Mobilizers, the 55 Peace Mobilizers (also known as Peace Ambassadors) were grouped to thirteen teams composing of four to five peace mobilizers per team” he said. Kuot said each team was given a task of facilitating one Payam consultation per week, and thus the thirteen teams covered 39 Payams in three weeks. “Warrap State is comprised of 42 Payams which will all be covered by the on-going process. Kuacjok which is the State Head Quarters has also been considered for consultations, making a total of 43 consultations” he said. “The remaining 4 consultations will be covered in a week to conclude the process of Payam consultations in Warrap State” he added. He said the consultations at Payam levels were attended by women, youth, chiefs, elders and religious leaders, and communities were asked to voice out their internal and external grievances that present their community with obstacles to peace and harmony among themselves and with others. “The issues presented by the communities have been documented by the Peace Mobilizers into reports that the Committee for National Healing Peace and Reconciliation will use in developing a national agenda for healing, peace and reconciliation” he said. He said following the Payam consultations CNHPR plans to hold County conferences extending to the six Counties of Gogrial West, Gogrial East, Twic, Tonj South, Tonj East and Tonj North. “CNHPR will conduct peace and reconciliation conferences in all those counties attended by delegates who have been nominated by their Payams during the consultations”. “Representatives from different Payams and communities will discuss community issues raised at the Payam consultations at the county conferences”. “A similar process will be conducted from the county level and presented at one large Warrap State conference" Kuot said his organisation is planning to extend similar consultation to all the ten states and Abyei Administrative Area throughout 2015 to 2016. “Warrap is the pilot state of the CNHPR’s three-year vision of collecting a narrative from the people of South Sudan at the grassroots level to ensure that South Sudan’s reconciliation journey is driven and shaped by its citizens’ rich experiences, knowledge, and needs”. “Following the completion of consultations and conferences in all ten states and Abyei, CNHPR will present this people-driven reconciliation agenda in 2016”.
