About
Saferworld and Sudan programme:
Saferworld is an
independent non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and reduce
violent conflict and promote cooperative approaches to security. We work with
civil society, governments and international organisations to encourage and
support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy
development, and through supporting the actions of others. Saferworld has been
working in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus upon East Africa and the
Horn region. We have well-established programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and
South Sudan. In addition, Saferworld supports regional and international
conflict prevention and security processes. Saferworld headquarters are in
London, with  offices in Nairobi, Kampala
and Juba.  Saferworld had previously done
work in Sudan on civil society support for conflict prevention and on issues of
small arms control. More recently, we have been developing initial scoping and
analysis work on conflict transformation issues in Sudan, on the premise that
both Sudan and South Sudan need to address their conflict and security
challenges if either country is to develop long-term peace and stability.
