This report describes the findings of community-level consultations conducted in nine counties in the states of Jonglei and Upper Nile, Southern Sudan, on the subject of community-level policing structures. The consultation process focused on rival counties on both sides of the Jonglei-Upper Nile border – Akobo, Nyirol, Pigi, Pangak and Pibor in Jonglei and Nasir, Ulang, Baliet and Panyikang in Upper Nile – which have experienced both internal and cross-state border violence and are in a continuing state of overwhelming insecurity. The consultations were carried out jointly by the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) Bureau for Community Security and Small Arms Control (CSSAC) within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the NGO Saferworld.
