It considers the role of the state, leadership and state-society relations.

These localised conflicts over land now interlink with the dynamics of the national armed conflict.

It puts aside prevalent assumptions linking statebuilding, service delivery and legitimacy, analysing instead the important role that political structures, ideas and history play in legitimising the state in South Sudan.

This report, which is based on a meeting of chiefs from opposing sides of the armed conflict held in Eastern Equatoria in 2016, offers important insights into chiefs’ own reflections and discussions about their past and current role in governance, peacebuilding, and political transition, as well as the challenges and opportunities related to their role.

The report explores the role of DRC and the populations that live along the South Sudan-DRC border in the conflict dynamics and the implications for efforts to end the conflict.

The report, which aims to provide lessons for future POC efforts, advises how aid workers and peacekeepers can co-exist in a shared space; how rules should be set up to manage criminality and security issues in camps; to prevent the flow of arms into sites; and how to ensure families are eventually able to leave and return home.

The understanding of these concepts continues to be of key importance to ensure that aid does not undermine local authorities and mechanisms of mutual support and resilience, which are pivotal for the survival of people.
