This discussion, hosted by the Associate Parliamentary Group on Sudan and South Sudan, will focus on the important events in South Sudan and Sudan from the past year, including the achievements and challenges for both countries. Crucially, it offers an opportunity to look forward to the futures of South Sudan and Sudan, and the role the UK Government can play in contributing towards peace and development. Sara Pantuliano is one of the panelists for this event.
This distinguished panel analysed the multitude of socio-economic concerns that need to be addressed in South Sudan as well as looking more broadly at the requirements of building a new state. Sara Pantuliano provided an overview of the humanitarian concerns in the country.

Following the decision in January to shut down its oil production, South Sudan's government has introduced austerity measures to compensate for the loss of revenue. Juba has announced that spending on everything except salaries will be halved.
This event, jointly organised by HPG and the Associate Parliamentary Group on Sudan and South Sudan (APG), brings together panels in London and Juba (via videoconference) to explore the urgent humanitarian challenges which lie ahead for the world's newest nation.
This PSO Thematic Learning Event focused on Perspectives on relations, roles and functions in the aid structure in South Sudan. Sara Pantuliano spoke on dynamics of relationships in fragile settings and the relevance of TLP on the first day, and served as the key resource person on the second day. She also spoke on the evaluation report ‘Aiding the Peace’.
The workshop aimed to shed light on processes of state and nation building in South Sudan and how this is negotiated on the local and regional level. Ellen Martin spoke on the topic of: "Juba: a capital in the making" and took part in the panel discussion.

This event launches the Network Paper 72, Local to Global Protection in Myanmar, Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe.
The Local to Global Protection Project (L2GP) is an initiative to document and promote local perspectives on protection in major humanitarian crises. Based on research in Myanmar, Sudan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe, L2GP explores how people living in areas affected by natural disaster and armed conflict understand ‘protection’ – what they value, and how they go about protecting themselves, their families and their communities. The research also examines how people view the roles of others, including the state, non-state actors, community-based organisations and national and international aid agencies.
Sara Pantuliano delivered a lecture at York University exploring political transition in Sudan as part of the module ‘Perspectives of Post-war Recovery’.
