The Community Security and Stabilization programme intends to contribute to the stability and resilience of the selected communities, which are at the risk of being drawn into conflicts in the six states (South Kordofan, Blue Nile, West Kordofan, White Nile, Sennar and North Kordofan). It aims to achieve this by: (i) Strengthening resilience of target communities through diversified alternative livelihoods for vulnerable groups primarily focusing on unemployed youth who are at risk of being drawn into conflicts and vulnerable women, (ii) Creating a conducive environment for graduated small arms control at the sub regional, national and community level to reduce the occurrence of armed conflicts and loss of life, (iii) Provision of socio-economic infrastructure having direct relevance to the conflicts, (iv) Strengthening the communities to manage the community infrastructure and NGO/CBO service providers for improved service delivery to target beneficiaries and communities for long term peace and stability, (v) Promoting cross-border cooperation among the communities and authorities for enhancing stability at the bordering communities.
