Abstract

This report summarizes findings of a national survey on perceptions of peace in South Sudan in late 2021.

Based on empirical evidence from the survey, for the transitional process to be credible, it must go hand in hand with tangible improvements to security conditions in people’s everyday lives. Positive views can enable peace and security to grow from the bottom up, as people engage with the transitional process in a meaningful manner. When it comes to securing public trust in the transition in South Sudan, interventions that help communities to establish and protect security at a local level are more important than the ‘deadline diplomacy’ and implementation checklists that have characterized the transitional process thus far.

This paper is an output of the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (PEACEREP) programme.
