SUCCESS FY2018 Quarter Three Report Page | 1

Executive Summary The Democracy International (DI) Systems to Up-hold the Credibility and Constitutionality of Elec-tions in South Sudan (SUCCESS) program contin-ues to empower South Sudanese citizens and civil society organizations (CSOs) to contribute to inclu-sive peace, government accountability, and national cohesion in South Sudan. SUCCESS focuses on ad-vancing objectives under its Component Three, given that Components One and Two of the project remain on hold per United States Agency for Inter-national Development (USAID) guidance.

During quarter three (Q3) of Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, SUCCESS continued to strengthen civil society en-gagement in key political and peace processes and foster CSO sustainability. The five SUCCESS Year 5 grantees actively implemented their projects aimed at resolving conflict and promoting healing among traumatized South Sudanese citizens. The six SUCCESS Civic Engagement Centers (CECs) in Aweil, Juba, Torit, Rumbek, Wau, and Yambio at-tracted more users than any previous quarter through diversified education and civic participation activi-ties.

SUCCESS also continued to foster strong advocacy through coalition, working closely with three key partner groups who are effectively presenting a uni-fied civil society voice to push for peace: the Women’s Monthly Forum on the Peace Process (WMF); the Transitional Justice Working Group (TJWG); and the Voluntary Civil Society Taskforce on the Implementation of the Peace Agreement (the “Taskforce”). With SUCCESS mentorship, these groups continued to engage critically on national-level political and peace processes and push for citizen con-cerns to be heard in decision-making processes.

Key accomplishments this quarter include:

1) Constructive Advocacy and Participation in Political Processes

• SUCCESS supported 206 CSOs to engage in advocacy interventions this quarter, including four strategic partners: South Sudanese Network for Democracy and Elections (SSuNDE), Young Women Christian Association (YWCA), South Sudan Theatre Organization (SSTO), and Christian Agency for Peace and Development (CAPaD), all of which are current SUCCESS grantees. These grantees reach the most vulnerable populations in South Sudan through inno-vative approaches to local and national advocacy, conflict mitigation, and trauma healing. Grantee Institute for Peace, Development, and Security Studies (IPDSS) continued to work with the Taskforce to monitor and advocate for improved implementation of the 2015 peace agreement and engage on the High-Level Revitalization Forum (HLRF). In addition to these strategic partners, the CECs saw local CSO partners across the country enthusiastically advo-cating for consideration of grassroots concerns in the HRLF.

2) Strengthening CSO and Citizen Capacity to Engage

• The SUCCESS CECs continued to work toward sustainability this quarter, including by launch-ing the solar power system at the Juba Civic Resource Center (JCRC) and co-locating the Wau CEC within User Committee member organization Unity Culture and Development Center (UCDC). The JCRC and the Rumbek CEC also successfully registered with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) this quarter, facilitating their ability to attract funding from

other donors. • SUCCESS continued to build the capacity of the User Committees this quarter through train-

ings on key topics such as information technology (IT) and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). To inform decision-making with regard to resource mobilization, SUCCESS worked with the User Committees to implement a sustainability survey, gathering data on what services CEC users would be willing to pay for and how much they might pay. The organizational develop-ment team also facilitated joint governance trainings for the User Committees and host organi-zations at each of the CEC locations to strengthen their ability to work together to ensure the sustainability of the centers beyond the SUCCESS program.

3) Effectively Engaging in the Peace Process and Conflict Mitigation

• IPDSS and the Taskforce continued to lead nationwide engagement and advocacy on the revi-talization process, including through their representative in the official negotiations at the HLRF in Addis Abba, Ethiopia and Khartoum, Sudan. The Taskforce also engaged with grass-roots organizations outside of Juba, raising awareness on progress in the HLRF and bringing citizens’ voices back into the process.

• The TJWG and WMF likewise engaged on the HLRF, reaching out to the public and stakehold-ers to raise awareness on the importance of transitional justice and women’s participation in all political and peace processes.

• SSuNDE, under a SUCCESS grant, began implementation of citizen safety sessions in all of the former 10 states of South Sudan. This is in preparation for their nationwide advocacy cam-paign for security sector reform to facilitate an improved operating environment for CSOs and greater safety for citizens around the country.

Political Context During the reporting period, efforts to revitalize the 2015 Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (ARCSS) continued. The second session of the HLRF took place on February 16 and resumed on May 17. From February to May, the Intergovernmental Authority on De-velopment (IGAD) engaged the interested parties in the hopes of reconciling their different positions on governance and security issues. The IGAD Council of Ministers and the IGAD Special Envoy held consultations with the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU) in Juba, with former Vice President Riek Machar in Pretoria, and with other parties and stakeholders in Addis Ababa.

As part of a four-day visit to South Sudan from April 15-19, a delegation of the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) met with government officials in Juba. After meeting President Salva Kiir, Joram Biswaro, the AU Ambassador to South Sudan, said that the AU body aims to acquaint itself with the situation in South Sudan. The AU-PSC’s visit to Juba seemed to demonstrate a commitment to seeing peace prevail in South Sudan. The AU-PSC also reached out to other stakeholders including faith-based, women, youth, private sector, and civil society during their visit to Juba. On April 26, the Council released a communique calling on the South Sudanese parties to participate in the HLRF in good faith and to make compromises to achieve peace. The Council utilized various tools and mecha-nisms to ensure the parties’ commitment to the peace process. The Council worked with the AU Com-mission and IGAD to develop proposals for punitive measures to be taken against those who continue to obstruct peace efforts.

On April 30, before the third round of the HLRF, the Ministry of Justice introduced a draft constitutional amendment bill to Parliament to incorporate the Agreement into the 2011 Transitional Constitution of South Sudan. On May 3-4, the ruling SPLM held a two-day meeting of its National Liberation Council. President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni and Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry at-tended the opening day of the National Liberation Council. Neither Pro-Machar SPLM in Opposition nor SPLM “Former Detainees” outside the country attended the meeting. The meeting concluded with a resolution endorsing a revised implementation plan for SPLM reunification and called for party offi-cials to attend the next meeting of the council, which attendees proposed should take place within 45 days. The First Vice-President, Taban Deng Gai, also announced in a press release on May 7, the formal dissolution of his faction and its reintegration into the SPLM.

The third round of the HLRF took place in Addis Ababa from May 17 to 23, following further shuttle diplomacy and proximity talks on May 11 and 12. The South Sudan Council of Churches facilitated sessions of intra-South Sudanese dialogue to help parties bridge their differences and compromise on the ten outstanding governance and security issues that the previous round of the forum has identified as critical to revitalizing the Agreement. The parties recommitted to the implementation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) and agreed to implement a quota of 35 percent representation of women at all levels of government and to continue the consultations on governance and security issues in a signed statement drafted by the Council of Churches on May 21. However, the parties made little progress in reaching a compromise on the outstanding issues. In response, IGAD introduced a bridging proposal on May 21. On May 22, the parties submitted their reactions to the IGAD bridging proposal, maintaining their entrenched and divergent positions particularly in regards to responsibility-sharing, the structure and composition of states, the number and allocations of seats in the legislature, and tran-sitional security arrangements.

On May 31, the IGAD Council of Ministers convened an extraordinary session to assess the peace talks and outline its strategy moving forward. The Council recommended that IGAD consider convening an extraordinary summit and a face-to-face meeting between the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir and former Vice President Riek Machar at the AU Summit in early July. They also authorized one more round of consultations with the parties to build consensus on the bridging proposal and direct the IGAD facilitation team in developing a full “revitalized” text of the ARCSS. The Council of Ministers also decided to submit punitive measures against violators of the CoHA to the IGAD Assembly of Heads of State and Government for approval. On the same day, the UN Security Council decided to extend the South Sudan sanctions regime pending a review of the parties’ adherence to the CoHA and progress towards a viable political settlement by June 30 (see Council resolution 2418 (2018)). Over recent weeks, the talks have continued in Khartoum, Entebbe, and Addis, and assertions that an agreement will be signed by the end of July continue. While citizens are hopeful about the prospect of a signed agreement, many are skeptical of meddling by Sudan and Uganda.

Women, youth, and civil society more generally have continued to play a significant role throughout the HLRF process and have gained viable experience and unprecedented access to the political players. It is critical to maintain and build on these gains, supporting CSOs to continue to engage in the official mediation, as well as the implementation and monitoring of any agreement that might be signed.

The National Dialogue Steering Committee, meanwhile, held plenary meetings in Juba in April and May to review subcommittee reports about the consultations held in the states. As indicated in the sub-committee reports, and observed by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), the grass-roots consultations gathered a wide range of views from the public about the causes of conflict in South Sudan and the possible solutions. The conclusions, however, were limited by shortcomings in geo-graphic representation and concerns about security. By late May, the Steering Committee had approved and adopted all 15 subcommittee reports. The Steering Committee announced a two-month recess until mid-August in order to prepare for the planned regional conferences.

The Government of South Sudan (GoSS) also announced a number of senior government and public appointments last quarter. On May 2, President Kiir appointed General Gabriel Jok Riak as Chief of Defence Forces of SPLA, succeeding General James Ajongo, who died on April 20. Jok Riak is among the individuals on the sanctions list pursuant to Security Council Resolution 2206 (2015) and is also the subject of targeted sanctions by the European Union and the United States.

Economic performance in the country continues to be poor. Although the Central Bank maintains a fixed official rate of around 137 South Sudanese Pounds (SSP) to the United States dollar (USD), the currency depreciated on the market from around 230 SSP per dollar in February to 300 pounds per dollar in May. Oil production is approximately 120,000 to 130,000 barrels per day, and remains con-sistent with the average over the past four years. Despite buoyant international oil prices, overall fiscal performance did not improve this quarter, which raised concerns about the management of the addi-tional oil revenue. Public sector workers continue to face delays in receiving salaries, in some cases for as long as five months, and levels of spending on public services and infrastructure remain low.

In June, the Bank of South Sudan introduced a new 500 SSP banknote aimed at reducing the amount of currency people carry and fighting hyperinflation in the country. Economists, however, including the Dean of College of Social and Economic Studies at the University of Juba, Professor Marial Awou Yol, warned that introducing a the new banknote could worsen inflation and encourage people to hoard money.

Key Achievements: Qualitative Impact COMPONENT 1: INCREASED CAPACITY OF THE SOUTH SUDANESE INSTITUTIONS TO LEAD PROCESSES THAT CITIZENS ACCEPT AS LEGITIMATE This component was not implemented this quarter.

COMPONENT 2: POLITICAL PARTIES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF POWER MORE CREDIBLY REPRESENT CORE CONSTITUENTS This component was not implemented this quarter.

COMPONENT 3: SOUTH SUDANESE CITIZENTS MORE AWARE OF AND INVOLVED IN POLITICAL PROCESSES

Sub-Component 3.1: Targeted CSOs Constructively Participate in Political Pro-cesses Based on Issue-Based Platforms that Represent Core Constituents This quarter, SUCCESS supported 206 organizations to engage in advocacy interventions. Those or-ganizations engaged on topics such as women and youth participation in governance, insecurity and increasing rates of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), education for girls, and reforms to the 2016 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Act. SUCCESS also continued to build the capacity of its strategic partners and the CEC User Committees, promoting their long-term sustainability.

Activity 3.1.1: Support Civil Society in Maintaining an Effective Environment for Citizen Engage-ment and Programming in Conflict SUCCESS Partners Push for Improved Operating Environment for Civil Society

This quarter, Community Empowerment for Pro-gress Organization (CEPO) completed its SUCCESS grant aimed at pushing for an improved operating environment for CSOs, in particular us-ing evidence-based advocacy. On April 30, CEPO launched its CSO database at the JCRC. The data-base was developed to facilitate and document in-cidents encountered by CSOs around the country related to implementation of the 2016 NGO and RRC Acts. Over the course of the grant, CEPO trained organizations around the country on the provisions of the legislation and how to collect data on their implementation. The database will enable anyone to access this data and support CEPO’s ad-vocacy to open space for civil society. To date, CEPO has registered many incidents relevant to

the legislation’s implementation. CEPO reports, for instance, two community-based organizations in Wau that obtained registration certificates from the RRC without any interference from the state Min-istry of Social Welfare, which had been issuing its own registration certificates for CSOs despite direc-tives from the RRC and the law. This success points to progress made under fellow SUCCESS grantee SSuNDE, which worked on a parallel effort to address registration issues by bringing RRC representa-tives, state government actors, and CSOs together to dialogue. Nevertheless, through the CEPO data-base, CSOs continue to report National Security Service (NSS) interference with their operations; CEPO has registered 29 incidents of NGO harassment by NSS and SPLA and two cases of NSS inter-ference in the NGO registration process.

Similarly, on May 31, SUCCESS supported the Institute of Social Policy and Research (ISPR) to hold a dialogue among government, security, and civil society actors to work toward raising awareness and

facilitating CSO operations. ISPR convened the event in response to the shrinking space for civic en-gagement and media and the enormous challenges facing CSOs in the country. The event drew guest speakers from civil society, the NGO Forum, NSS, and the RRC, who shared perspectives on the current successes, challenges, and lessons learned with regard to the work of civil society, media, and human-itarian partners in the country. The panelists also discussed the role of CSOs, challenges to civil society work, the role of the RRC, and the laws governing the relationship between NGOs and the government. The RRC Deputy Chairperson, the Honorable Santino Bol, said that the RRC considers CSOs to be complementary partners to government efforts to deliver services to the people and that his commission maintains a cordial relationship with CSOs. He expressed the government’s willingness to work with civil society including supporting CSOs to better respond to issues affecting communities. CSO partic-ipants expressed the importance of their work as well as their concerns about the operating environment, including many who took issue with the clearance needed for all activities and the presence of NSS at events.

Activity 3.1.2: Support CSOs to Engage in Legislative Reform Processes and Represent Civil Society Voices In June, SSuNDE under its SUCCESS grant continued to advocate for improvement to the 2016 NGO and RRC Acts. SSuNDE hosted a policy dialogue between CSOs and the RRC to build on activities under SSuNDE’s 2017 grant, following up on commitments the RRC had made to decentralize CSO registration to the state level, reduce registration fees for CSOs, incorporate recommendations from CSOs into the registration procedures and regulations, and consider amending the NGO Act to cover organizations working on issues such as advocacy, governance, and peacebuilding. The RRC Deputy Director for NGOs Registration, Mr. David Aleu, briefed the audience on the areas where they have made progress such as in the reduction of CSO registration fees from $500 to $200, while the annual renewal of certificates for international non-governmental organizations has been waived. In addition, Aleu stated that registration fees and the annual renewal fees now take into consideration the circum-stances of each organization; he asserted that requirements for international and national organizations are different based on the years of operation and a review of their respective reports, budgets, and em-ployment of qualified national staff. The registration certificate is issued once and is verified on an annual basis to avoid duplication. In addition, the Commission had given the mandate to the state RRC branches to register CSOs, but later realized that the state RRCs were not uniformly charging fees. For this reason, the Deputy Director for NGOs Registration shared, the national RRC decided to put the exercise on hold until a unified fee structure is adopted and applied by all the branches. The commission is planning to harmonize the administrative fees for this purpose.

This activity created a platform for CSOs to freely interact and ask their government counterparts ques-tions on the issues hindering their operations. Mr. Aleu informed participants that the Commission is working on draft regulations, which it will share with stakeholders for input before finalization. It has further urged SSuNDE that once the draft regulations is finalized, organizations should mobilize re-sources to disseminate the amended regulations to all state institutions in order to be aware of its content and application. SSuNDE will continue to engage with RRC over the course of its grant to follow up on RRC actions and ensure the reformed Act takes into account CSOs’ considerations.

Activity 3.1.3: Build Capacity for Sustainability This quarter, the SUCCESS organizational development unit conducted the capacity assessments for two of its six strategic partners. SUCCESS also continued to build the capacity of its strategic partners, grantees, and the CEC User Committees. In Q3, SUCCESS directly conducted 11 trainings, while also providing coaching and mentorship for its key partners, building the organizational capacity of 79 CSOs overall.

SUCCESS Strategic Partners Move toward Readiness for Direct Funding

SUCCESS continues to support its six strategic partners—South Sudan Theatre Organization, Christian Agency for Peace and Development, South Sudanese Network for Democracy and Elections, Change Makers South Sudan (CMSS), Young Women Christian Association, and South Sudan Democratic En-gagement Monitoring and Observation Program (SSuDEMOP)—to become strong, sustainable organ-izations capable of attracting and managing direct funding from donors.


Third Organizational Capacity Assessment for SSuNDE

From May 28-29, SUCCESS conducted the third and final Organizational Capacity Assessment of SSuNDE with eight participants (three females, five males) from the organization. During the two-day assessment, SUCCESS looked at nine capacity areas, including organizational governance, organiza-tional management, human resources management, financial management, administration and procure-ment, resource mobilization, program development, performance management, and organizational sus-tainability. The assessment coincided with management challenges at SSuNDE, including the sudden dismissal of the executive director by the board in early April and the subsequent appointment of a junior staff member as acting executive director. The OCA included the following findings:

• Donor and partner trust levels in SSuNDE’s ability to implement programs have declined since SSuNDE dismissed its executive director in April. DI is currently SSuNDE’s only active donor. SSuNDE reported that they had been close to securing funding from the United Nations Devel-opment Programme (UNDP) and Norwegian People's Aid but that both donors put funding on hold following the management challenges. They still anticipate 10 months of funding from the Open Society Initiative of Eastern Africa and a $10,000 grant from UNESCO, but these funds have not yet come through. SSuNDE hopes to renew donor confidence through hiring a new executive director, holding its General Assembly, electing new board members, and approving the new constitution. SUCCESS is providing ongoing technical support to ensure SSuNDE completes these actions successfully and democratically and is able to recover organizational strength and leadership.

• SSuNDE has not yet finalized its constitution but plans to ratify it during the upcoming General Assembly in August. SSuNDE staff members expressed confusion over whether to follow the old constitution or the new draft constitution. The board meets regularly as stipulated in both versions of the constitution, and the current board members continue to be active in supporting the organization. The term of the current board members expired last year, however, has the renewed mandate from the General Assembly from November 2017. The assessment team also identified a conflict of interest with the role the board was playing in the finalization of the constitution and the language addressing its role and selection. To mitigate this, SUCCESS is supporting SSuNDE to review the draft constitution and present it to the members during the general assembly meeting. SUCCESS is also working closely with the SSuNDE to ensure that the process leading to the General Assembly is well coordinated and that the elections follow democratic processes. Under the draft constitution, the current board members are not eligible for re-election.

• In general, SSuNDE has come a long way in implementing the recommendations from the first and second OCAs but still has room for improvement in some areas. SSUNDE has established financial management, procurement, logistics, human resource, and succession-planning poli-cies but is only consistently following some of them under the current leadership. The staff have operationalized the procurement policy and most of the procurement packages seen during the assessment were in line with the procurement policy and procedures. Recent financial re-ports, however, suggest that there are not sufficient checks and balances or quality assurance. In coordination with the new grant, SUCCESS is providing ongoing financial coaching to ad-dress these issues. During the extension period, SUCCESS will provide targeted technical as-sistance to address the various gaps identified through this OCA, in particular in terms of or-ganizational management and leadership, financial procedures, and overall organizational sus-tainability.

Second Organizational Capacity Assessment for SSuDEMOP

This quarter, SUCCESS conducted the first stage of the second OCA for SSuDEMOP on three of the capacity areas: organizational governance, organizational management, and human resources manage-ment. SUCCESS was not able to assess the other capacity areas since the organization's leadership was not available at the time of the assessment. SUCCESS will complete the OCA next quarter. The pre-liminary OCA included the following findings:


• SSuDEMOP is registered and compliant with all the relevant laws and regulations of the Gov-ernment of South Sudan but demonstrates little compliance with its internal regulations. The organization has not convened a general assembly meeting as stipulated in its constitution for three years, and the board does not meet as regularly as stipulated in the constitution due to logistical limitations. SSuDEMOP does have clear and documented vision and mission state-ments guiding its activities.

• SSuDEMOP has a strategic plan for 2014-2018 developed through a participatory process and with core values agreed on and followed by staff members. The organization is an active mem-ber of several networks that are relevant to its work and contribute to programming impact, including the SUCCESS-supported Peace Implementation Monitoring Initiative. The OCA also identified several gaps related to strategic planning, however, including a failure to prepare annual implementation plans based on the strategic plan. While the organization demonstrates active outreach efforts, in particular through social media, SSuDEMOP does not have docu-mented policies to guide external communication practices and partnership development.

• SSuDEMOP has developed comprehensive human resources policies and procedures with sup-port from SUCCESS. The organization effectively implements staff recruitment as stipulated in the human resources policy and procedures. Staff members demonstrate a high level of team-work, and each member of organization has a distinct job description and contract. However, SSuDEMOP has not yet implemented staff performance evaluations or a set salary scale. The organization also needs a comprehensive policy on the management of volunteers who play a significant role in the organization. Additionally, the organization does not have resources to hire staff to fill some critical positions.

SUCCESS will work with SSuDEMOP over Q4 and the extension period to finalize the OCA and begin addressing the remaining organizational development gaps. As discussed in the next section, SUCCESS is already working with SSuDEMOP to improve its outreach and resource mobilization strategies. Over the coming months, SUCCESS will also focus on providing training and technical guidance to strengthen the organization’s management and staff.

Resource Mobilization Training for SUCCESS Strategic Partners in Juba

OCAs of the six strategic partners conducted in Q2 and Q3 indicated that the partners needed additional support for resource mobilization. To address this gap, SUCCESS conducted a three-day training on resource mobilization at the Juba Civic Resource Center from June 25-27, attended by 12 participants (six females, six males) from the strategic partners with Juba offices (SSuDEMOP, SSuNDE, SSTO, CAPaD, and YWCA)1. During the workshop, participants developed strategies for mobilizing re-sources to meet the resource needs of their respective organizations, including identifying potential donors, responding to requests for applications, and organizational sustainability. Highlights from the resource mobilization plans for each of the five organizations are below:

• YWCA plans to map their own internal resources and strengthen their existing income gener-ating capacity and available assets, improve their approach to developing concept notes and proposals, and encourage YWCA branches to take a more active role in their own sustainability. YWCA also plans to establish a resource mobilization committee in all of its branches, expand grassroots networks with other institutions, and develop a communication policy to guide staff in mobilization strategies. In addition, it will use success stories from current programming to solicit funding, build the capacity of designated staff on proposal writing, and liaise with other NGOs with similar objectives to form coalitions in key program areas such as peace building, trauma healing, and education. At the organization’s request, SUCCESS also provided tech-

nical support to YWCA this quarter to develop a proposal in response to the US Embassy fund-ing opportunity that would help support the organizations peacebuilding and reconciliation work in Yambio.

• SSuNDE will focus on developing a resource mobilization team and plan, mapping internal and external sources for funding, marketing SSuNDE activities to donors, organizing fundraising activities, improving proposal writing, and strengthening the capacity of the board, secretariat, and state coordinators to implement programming.

• SSuDEMOP will establish a marketing strategy for the organization and build on existing staff capacity in mobilization of funds in order to secure more grants for the organization. They also plan to invest in their staff by encouraging them to use those skills on other projects in order to keep them engaged in all organizational activities and invest in communication materials to create awareness and enable them to work efficiently and effectively.

• CAPaD plans to strengthen its volunteers’ capacity and invest in proposal and concept note writing for both South Sudanese and international donors. It also plans to strengthen its board’s fundraising and leadership skills, conduct donor mapping, and expand its organizational mar-keting capacity. It will introduce user fees for existing resources owned by CAPaD to generate revenue and train 150 youth volunteers in fundraising skills to help mobilize resources at the grassroots level.

• SSTO plans to capitalize on its unique approach to conflict resolution through theater to attract additional resources. SSTO plans to hold more public theater festivals, where they can explore fundraising opportunities, such as the sale of items at the events. They also will explore creating CDs with some of their work to sell and promote their activities among donors.

Launch of CAPaD Volunteer Policy and Five-Year Strategic Plan

In June, SUCCESS supported CAPaD to organize and hold an official grand launch of its five-year strategic plan and volunteer policy under the theme: “Enhancing programmatic understanding and own-ership with target groups, stakeholders, and partners in South Sudan.” The launch event was attended by 108 participants (41 females, 67 males), including international partners, CSO members, faith-based organizations, government officials, academics, and media. The strategic plan, developed with technical support from SUCCESS, will help the organization to focus on the implementation of its programs and activities for the benefit of target groups, partners, and stakeholders, including enhancing programmatic understanding. The volunteer policy will guide volunteer roles and outlines how they can support the organization to achieve its mission and fundamental objectives. “Our unique approach as CAPaD board members is to engage youth volunteers to advance our agenda for peace, and it is your responsibility as [the] youth to bring peace in the country,” said CAPaD board member Lorna Merekaje during the event. These key documents will help guide the organization’s approach over the coming years, as well as help formalize the organization’s approach to sustainability and impact.

YWCA Continues to Strengthen Branch Management Systems

SUCCESS continued to support YWCA branches in Yambio, Maridi, Mundri, and Wau to build a strong organization that is supported by effective boards at the national and state levels. Building on the trainings for the state-level branches over prior quarters, in Q3, SUCCESS delivered the final govern-ance and board development training for YWCA’s Juba branch, attended by 12 members (all females). The training addressed topics such as conflict of interest, ethics, communication, evaluating the board and organizational performance, instruments of power in an organization, board structure and roles, principles of governance in boards, and leadership. Board members gained an understanding of their roles in providing oversight and support to the organization to improve performance and realize YWCA’s vision and mission. Following the training, the Juba YWCA branch developed a structure composed of two levels, the board composed of chairperson, vice chairperson, treasurer, program chair-person and youth representative, and the management staff composed of the branch general secretary, program coordinator, information officer, accountant, and administrator.

SUCCESS Coaching and Mentorship to Strengthen Grantee Organizations

SUCCESS continued to provide mentorship and coaching for its grantee partners this quarter. This included support to Community Organization for Peer Educators (COPE) in reviewing its financial


policy, which was identified as a weakness in the SUCCESS pre-award survey assessment. SUCCESS also built on the onboarding trainings conducted last quarter for current grantees. In particular, the SUCCESS grants team worked closely with SSuNDE, SSTO, YWCA, and CAPaD on their financial management systems, helping the grantees to implement standard financial management forms such as purchase requests, purchase orders, and bid analysis forms. SUCCESS also provided continual mentor-ship to each of the grantees on their narrative and financial reports. At the same time, SUCCESS worked closely with grantees whose projects ended last quarter, such as CMSS, MSA, and the TJWG, to make corrections and improvements to their final reports. Finally, SUCCESS conducted a board development training for the Organization for Peace, Relief and Development (OPRD) at their request to strengthen the organization’s management. While in Kapoeta for the training, SUCCESS was able to conduct the post-award survey to measure progress in OPRD’s organizational capacity over the course of their part-nership with SUCCESS. Similarly, SUCCESS conducted post-award surveys for COPE, Self Help Women Development Association (SHWDA), Women Aid Vision (WAV), Integrated Development Organization (IDO), Foundation for Democracy and Accountable Governance (FODAG), South Sudan Law Society (SSLS), and Institute for Development of Civil Society (IDCS). These assessments serve to demonstrate the effectiveness of SUCCESS capacity building efforts for the partner organizations as they implemented their projects and also collects necessary data for SUCCESS annual indicators under its Performance Measurement and Evaluation Plan (PMEP).

Organizational Development for CEC Sustainability

Strengthening User Committee and Partners Capacity on Proposal Writing and Development

This quarter, SUCCESS conducted a proposal writing and development workshop for 21 participants (10 females, 11 males) from the Wau CEC User Committee, Wau CEC host organization Unity Culture and Development Center, and SUCCESS strategic partner CMSS. The workshop covered topics related to proposal formulation including project proposal components, problem analysis, tips for writing a strong proposal, and monitoring and evaluation plan development. SUCCESS took the partici-pants through the proposal-writing process us-ing an open opportunity for funding from the US Embassy in Juba. SUCCESS designed the training to address the concerns of civil society partners at the state level that they face diffi-culty competing with Juba-based organizations for donor grant opportunities. Likewise, this training aimed build the capacity of the User Committee to develop proposals to fund the CEC after the SUCCESS project ends.

SUCCESS also provided technical assistance this quarter to the JCRC User Committee to submit a proposal under that same funding op-portunity from the US Embassy. The JCRC suc-cessfully registered with the RRC, so it is eligible to apply for funds directly from donors. The JCRC User Committee submitted their proposal for a project to empower women entrepreneurs in Jubek state to gain skills to improve their businesses through practical business management trainings and computer skills courses. The project would help women use the Internet to conduct relevant research to strengthen their businesses as well as to promote their businesses using social media. The project would aim to address gender inequality and promote an empowered community of women who will take the lead in calling for inclusive and sustainable peace and development in South Sudan.

Technical Assistance to User Committees for Legal Registration of CECs

During this reporting period, SUCCESS provided technical assistance to all of the CEC User Commit-tees to develop and finalize all of the required documentation to register the centers as independent NGOs. The Rumbek CEC and JCRC received their registration certificates from the RRC, while the other centers are due to finalize registration in Q4. Following registration, the User Committees will be

better placed to raise funds to support the CECs’ sustainability. The approved constitutions, developed with SUCCESS support and required for registration, define the future interactions and relationships between the User Committee, host organization, and the rest of the CSOs comprising the general as-sembly. In addition to the legal registration, SUCCESS worked with the Rumbek CEC to merge and print the center’s strategic plan and resource mobilization plan to facilitate the center’s outreach and fundraising. The compiled plan will provide a sense of direction, help market the CEC to the larger community, and guide the User Committee’s day-to-day decisions. In the coming quarter, SUCCESS will work with the rest of the CECs to likewise merge and print their plans.

Specialized M&E Support for CEC User Committees

This quarter, the SUCCESS delivered a well-rounded M&E training for 15 members (three females, seven males) of the Rumbek CEC User Committee. SUCCESS designed the training to provide the members with an understanding of M&E processes that are important to the running of the center. The training covered a number of topics including the concept of monitoring and evaluation, logical frame-works, the creation of SMART indicators, discussion of existing SUCCESS project indicators for the center, development of M&E plans, data collection and data analysis, ensuring data quality and integ-rity, and report writing. Follow-up interviews show increased participation by the User Committee in monitoring center activities and community access to the center’s services. The User Committee has taken over recording the attendance of the users on a daily basis in the center’s registry book.

Also this quarter, SUCCESS continued to mentor the Yambio and Aweil User Committees, which re-ceived the M&E training last quarter and are demonstrating significant progress:

• In Yambio, the User Committee is now increasingly involved in running the center's activities. The Committee assigned one member to help the CEC Officer with data capture. The User Committee is also receiving weekly briefings on CEC performance that the chairperson uses to update the community during the CSO monthly forum. The User Committee is also taking an active role in compiling the SUCCESS weekly activity tracker.

• In Aweil, User Committee members established a mechanism of tracking the progress of activ-ities conducted at the center that includes conducting quarterly review meetings to update and review activity progress, obtain feedback, and assess the impact of services offered. The User Committee also oversees the library tracking sheet and is collaborating well with host organi-zation Help Restore Youth (HeRY) in managing center activities.

SUCCESS will continue to provide mentorship to all of the User Committees and will deliver the final M&E training in Wau in the coming months.

User Committees and Host Organizations Plan for Center Management after SUCCESS

This quarter, as a critical step in the SUCCESS CEC Sustainability Plan and Exit Strategy, SUCCESS held a specialized governance training for the Wau CEC, which was successfully co-located this quarter within User Committee member organization UCDC. This training aimed to strengthen the User Com-mittee-host organization relationship and plan for the CEC’s management after the end of the SUCCESS project. This training brought together 14 User Committee and UCDC members (four fe-males, 10 males) and provided a platform for the participants to discuss the roles and responsibilities of the User Committee and the host organization with regard to the CEC’s management after the SUCCESS project. This included discussions about asset management, cost sharing for electricity, in-ternet, and other services, and coordination on resource mobilization and activity planning. SUCCESS also led sessions on addressing conflicts of interest between the User Committee and UCDC. Through this trainings, an initial draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the User Committee and UCDC was developed. They are now working collaboratively to help manage the center with oversight from the CEC Officer. The training provided a platform for the two entities to discuss their respective roles and responsibilities beyond the SUCCESS project and address tensions to encourage a strong working relationship and support sustainability. Similarly, SUCCESS held follow up sessions with the User Committees and host organizations in Yambio, Aweil, and Juba this quarter, which received this governance training in Q2. In these sessions, the User Committees and host organizations made progress


on finalizing the MoUs that will guide the relationship after SUCCESS. Yambio and Aweil CECs also held meetings with the General Assembly of CSOs to brief them on the content of the agreement.

SUCCESS also held governance trainings in Rumbek and Torit this quarter. The training covered the responsibilities of the User Committees in CEC management and leadership and built their capacity to develop and support effective programming and management at the centers to respond to the needs of beneficiaries. The training covered leadership in accordance with democratic principles, management of the current assets, registration procedures to legally operate as a separate entity, and sustainability. While those two centers are not yet co-located, SUCCESS also discussed tips for the User Committees on managing the relationship with a host organization after colocation by setting clear guidelines and communication channels in major decision-making procedures.

In Rumbek, the CEC User Committee is taking on an active role in engaging with partners and donors to mobilize resources, promote the vision and mission of the center, build relationships, and actively participate in the community. The Committee engaged with UNMISS Civil Affairs Department about on the possibility of them supporting the construction of a permanent center since no host organization has been identified.

In Torit, the governance training helped the User Committee clarify their roles and responsibilities and create a structure to delegate responsibilities when members are not present. They also clarified con-flicts of interest between their commitments to their own organizations and the umbrella CSO network in Torit and their responsibilities as custodians of the center. The User Committee members are also taking the lead in the mobilization of resources, conducting outreach to the state government, UNMISS, and other UN agencies. As a result of this outreach, the state government is looking at providing the User Committee with a plot of land for the center, and UNMISS donated additional books to the center library.

Specialized Information and Communication Technology Training for CEC User Committees

This quarter, SUCCESS conducted its specialized Information and Communication Technology train-ing for the JCRC User Committee members, which the other User Committees received in prior quarters of Year 5. The training forms part of the SUCCESS capacity building strategy for the CECs to build participants’ capacity and knowledge on basic IT systems, management tech-niques, and troubleshooting skills so that they can identify and address issues in the center’s computer lab and internet net-work infrastructure. Participants also learned basic concepts of IT engineering on a computer's core hardware, operating system, and application software. The IT training helped prepare the User Commit-tee to manage the JCRC computer lab and address day-to-day challenges. Following the trainings, SUCCESS worked with the User Committees to identify two mem-bers from each committee to act as the IT focal persons responsible for overseeing the center IT system and coordinating any issues directly with the SUCCESS IT department. The SUCCESS IT team will continue to provide mentorship to the focal persons over the coming months.

Women’s Union Developed Strategic Plan Development and Validation

SUCCESS supported JCRC host organization the Jubek State Women’s Union (JSWU) to develop a five-year strategic plan to guide their operations, including to outline how the JCRC fits into the JSWU’s goals and long-term plans. SUCCESS led the JSWU through a strategic planning training and provided technical assistance to develop the plan, which focuses on promoting women’s empowerment, enhanc-ing peace and reconciliation, and building the capacity of women socially, economically, and culturally. On June 19, they held a validation workshop their larger assembly of JSWU members to validate the

vision, mission, core values, contextual analysis, and operating environment and approve the key stra-tegic focus areas and objectives for the next five years. The JSWU strategic plan presents the organiza-tion’s strategic direction and also identifies how collaboration with the JCRC contributes toward ad-dressing women’s needs and increasing their access to resources, information, and power.

Sub-Component 3.2: Knowledgeable Citizens Constructively Engage with Political Processes In Q2, citizens around the country continued to use the SUCCESS CECs to engage on key issues in their communities, as well as to pursue work opportunities, apply for funding for their organizations, and study and learn through the centers’ libraries and other online resources. During the quarter, CSOs directly organized 145 civic engagement activities at the CECs and a total of 5,614 civil society mem-bers (2,653 females, 2,961 males) used the CECs to engage in events related to democracy and govern-ance. To ensure local citizens continue to have access to these resources, SUCCESS also made signifi-cant strides in implementing its CEC sustainability plan.

Activity 3.2.1: Civil Society Develops and Implements Engagement Activities SUCCESS continues to operate six CECs located in Aweil, Juba, Rumbek, Torit, Wau, and Yambio. In Q3, the centers continued to offer critical support toward completion of the program’s overall goals and objectives, providing a neutral space for local organizations to engage in issue-based advocacy and peacebuilding initiatives, access to information for citizens, as well as a platform for implementing SUCCESS trainings and events. The centers hosted 249 activities this quarter, including SUCCESS trainings for the CEC User Committees and host organizations, CSO-organized civic engagement ac-tivities, and other CSO-led events. The breakdown can be seen below:

CEC Quarter Three Highlights by Center

Aweil Civic Engagement Center

Already co-located within local organization HeRY, the Aweil CEC User Committee increased activi-ties this quarter to promote a strong working relationship with the host as well as to increase CEC usership and pursue sustainability initiatives. Aweil users have been very excited about the new learning

opportunities at the center thanks to the books and Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) courses shared by the US Embassy in Juba. This quarter, many successfully completed YALI courses, in-cluding Marko Madut, who earned a Certificate in Management Strategies for People and Resources and Diing Ngong, who received a certificate in Un-derstanding Elections and Civic Responsibility. Marko, director of local partner Christian Action for Development and Support, values the growth and development opportunities for him through these courses and the other CEC activities, saying “This Center has helped us a lot. The services that are being offered here are very unique and no other

NGO is offering these services in the entire country… The services we get here are more helpful than the food distributed by the World Food Program.” Another user, William Garang Angok, has obtained 10 YALI certificates, including in topics such as Fundamentals of Starting and Running a Business, Effective Communication for Health Outcomes, and Understanding Climate Change. A HeRY repre-sentative, meanwhile, excited to see the community’s use of the library, donated his own personal books to further expand the Aweil CEC library.

The Aweil community was also excited about the launch of film screenings at the center this quarter, in particular as the films (provided by Internews) were made in South Sudan and feature themes relevant to South Sudanese citizens’ daily lives.

One spectator shared: “I normally dislike watching films because of fiction and exaggeration attached to Western films, but today I enjoyed… [this film that showed] the situation is that is the real life we are facing at our homes.” Spectators generally found hope in seeing their own economic and social hardships reflected in the Juba Film Festival films, contributing to a sense of unity and nationhood. Another participant, Rose Akeer, shared “the situation Nakuma [girl character in film] is in is the situ-ation most women here are in currently. Most men, if not all, tend to hide their businesses from wives and then show off with small girls with luxurious things like cars, clothes... There are also young men who live a life of pretense that they are working with government departments, NGOs, or companies when they are only surviving through support of uncles and parents. Men are very difficult to understand and that’s one of the problems which normally results in domestic violence.”

In another creative activity to bring additional users to the center and promote civic participation, local partner Women Empowerment and Enterpreneurship Coaching organized an outdoor drama event on “political sycophancy as a threat to peace” bringing together 100 participants (61 males, 39 females), while also including local radio station Akol Yam to expand coverage. This event emphasized the need for citizens to demand accountability from their leaders. For instance, one participant stated: “a leader ought to be the people’s servant and we should always check them. If we make them our demi-gods, they may decide to do anything they wish, such as misappropriating our resources, oppressing us... In such a situation, no one can dare question them or else you risk being their greatest enemy. This is what has polarized our country, leaders are not true to us and we are not true to them.”

Juba Civic Resource Center

The Juba Civic Resource Center continues to attract hundreds of people a week (averaging more than 700 users weekly) who take advantage of the library resources, computer lab, and civic engagement

activities. Many users have successfully completed educational courses, applied for jobs, won scholar-ships, and promoted their organizations through use of the center services.

Notably, this quarter SUCCESS—in collaboration with the JCRC User Committee, host organization the JSWU, the US Embassy in Juba, and USAID—launched a solar power system at the center, which will reduce the JCRC operating costs and help the center continue to run after the SUCCESS project ends. For a full success story on this important progress in the cen-ter’s sustainability, please refer to the Attachments to this report. Additionally, as mentioned in the previous section, JCRC successfully registered with the RRC at the end of Q3 and has begun preparing proposals to sub-mit to donors to likewise support the center’s sustaina-bility.

Local partner New Page for Peace and Development completed a computer course for women this quarter, which it held for two days each month over the last six months for 20 women. Over this period, the participants learned, among other topics, how to use the Internet and email programs, as well as how to use key computer pro-grams such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Publisher. As one participant, Lilly Hellen, shared, “I was shy in the beginning and did not expect to be so conversant so soon. I gradually started gaining confi-dence and realized that I was progressing well as when our tutors g[a]ve us exercises and I d[id] them easily and quickly. I am now happy and will be using this center to check for employment opportunities online and send my emails.” Rahma Julie and Nyandeng Kuir, meanwhile, are two student beneficiaries of this course who now frequent the JCRC regularly to complete school assignments and research.

Local organizations also continued to use creative approaches to peacebuilding this quarter through cultural events. For instance, in June, Active Youth for Culture and Sports Promotion orga-nized a cultural gala under the theme “Unity through Culture for a Better Nation” attended by 145 participants (65 females, 80 males), in-cluding cultural and traditional dance groups, local community members, and CSO repre-sentatives. The cultural festivity brought to-gether traditional dancing troupes from the Murle ethnic group of Boma State and Apa-dang Dinka community of Ruweng State, which performed traditional songs and dances. The event emphasized the importance attached to the cultural gala and traditional dance by di-verse participating South Sudanese ethnicities as a way of fostering cross-ethnic understand-ing, peace, and unity among different commu-

nities. Local artist Mary Konyi sang a song she had composed on the theme of promoting love and unity among the many different ethnic groups in Jubek state. The event provided a platform for celebrating the diversity of South Sudanese cultures as an instrument for the promotion of peace and national unity and brought participants from different communities together to share, interact, and learn about one another in support of sustainable peaceful coexistence and a shared sense of South Sudanese identity.

Rumbek Civic Engagement Center

In Q3, the Rumbek CEC continued to increase its recognition in the state as a critical space for civil society learning and engagement. Given the center’s importance and impact in the community,

UNMISS has expressed interest in supporting the center’s sustainability by helping to upgrade the Dis-abled Association for Rehabilitation and Development (DARD) compound to accommodate the center. SUCCESS and the User Committee are discussing this possibility with them to see if it will be possible within the timeframe of the SUCCESS extension period. The Rumbek center joined the other centers this quarter in offering computer trainings for women and film screening using Juba Film Festival win-ning movies, attracting in particular more women and youth to the center. During this quarter, 65 women leaders drawn from different CSOs and schools benefited from the computer trainings, learning basic computer skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as how to conduct Internet research. These courses specifically targeted women CSO members to strengthen the role they can play in their respective organizations.

Similarly, through the monthly forums for women at the Rumbek CEC, female community and CSO members discussed issues such as SGBV, forced and early marriages, and lack of women’s political and economic empowerment. The forum provides a platform for women to engage and lobby com-munity leaders, local authorities, and other policy makers to support mechanisms that protect women and girls and encourage women’s partici-pation. The forums have also increased partici-pants’ confidence in their ability and capacity to take up leadership roles in business and political arenas. As one participant stated, “there are too many organizations who say they help women on gender equality and gender-based violence but they don’t provide us with our own forum like this. Now we can openly discuss our issues and come up with our community-based solutions.”

Similarly, the Rumbek CEC continues to foster CSO collaboration through its work with the Lakes State Civil Society Organizations Network (CiSON). CiSON works closely with the center User Com-mittee to organize events and increase the relevance of the center. It also hosts a monthly coordination forum at the center for local organizations to share their experiences, achievements, and challenges and discuss possible solutions, as well as joint advocacy efforts. These forums have greatly improved coor-dination of CSOs activities, as well as strengthened CSOs’ lobbying and advocacy efforts in the state. Through the CSOs monthly forums, CiSON has issued a series of public statements condemning some government actions, without reprisal; such statements, if issued by a single CSO, would not only have had less impact but also undoubtedly pose additional danger for the particular organization. For in-stance, CiSON released a statement condemning President Kiir’s refusal to accept working with Dr. Riek Machar after their first face-to-face meeting in Addis Ababa. In June, CiSON appointed a delega-tion to engage with local authorities on security concerns, including the movement of armed youth from Pakam conducting cattle raids in Western Lakes and a land dispute over the Ngap-Barl Gel area. CiSON also condemned local authorities for statements made that were likely to incite hate speech and greater disunity among Lakes state communities.

Torit Civic Engagement Center

The Torit CEC expanded activities this quarter by introducing outdoor drama events to promote com-munity peace and social cohesion as well as the computer courses for women, which have both been very successful at the other centers. For instance, in April, South Sudan Youth Initiative for Change hosted an event at the Torit CEC to promote peace through drama, music, dance, and poetry. The event targeted youth, and used drama, dance, and poetry to emphasize existing social mechanisms for miti-gating inter-communal conflict. The event brought together community members, government officials, and youth to share messages of peace and promote reconciliation. The User Committee’s increased outreach to raise awareness of the center and promote sustainability has also led to coordination meet-ings with UNMISS, which has pledged to donate additional books to the Torit CEC library.

Also this quarter, Safe Orphans Life Organization (SOLO) worked with various partners through center events to develop a roadmap for peace in Kidepo Valley of Eastern Equatoria. In two roundtable dis-cussions on the conflict among the communities in Kidepo Valley, participants identified the root causes of the conflicts and formed technical working groups to address the issues. As a result of these SUCCESS-supported activities, SOLO was able to bring local community members together with in-ternational actors from UNMISS, UNDP, CRS, and Human Environmental Transformation Agency operating in Torit to address the Kidepo conflict. SOLO Administrator shared: “It is from the roundtable discussion in Torit CEC that we are able to work and reach to this level of resolving the Kidepo Com-munity conflict. The most recent roundtable was to draw a proper roadmap and now we have the Tech-nical Working Group. These partners are also willing to support our effort to reach the community in Kidepo. The recommendations laid at the roundtable discussion ha[ve] given us the direction of how to approach the whole issue. We will still ask DI to… [help us] complete this process with the Members of Parliament [MPs] who have admitted that politicians are partially to blame for the inter-communal conflict in Kidepo Valley. If possible, in the next roundtable, we would like to bring the MPs into the picture.”

Meanwhile, one Torit CEC user, Garang Michael, has suc-cessfully advanced his professional career as a result of tak-ing advantage of the center resources. He discusses the im-portance of the center: “People like me have opened an email [account] due to the presence of computers and in-ternet at the center. The center is also home for researchers [including] individuals like myself, organizations, and stu-dents who often have problems with some questions in school. Since the center has some desktops, some of us who were unable to know computer have learnt and have ac-quired new knowledge. Not only that, the center is also helping us to develop and print some of our documents [necessary] to attain a job. The center helped me to print my documents and so [a local secondary] school has of-fered me a teaching post.”

Wau Civic Engagement Center

This quarter, the Wau CEC relocated to the premises of User Committee member organization UCDC to reduce operating costs and improve sustainability of the center. To ensure users knew about the change of location, as well as to attract new users, the Wau CEC User Committee and SUCCESS coor-dinated with fellow implementing partner Internews to arrange for local radio station and Internews grantee Voice of Hope to air a PSA on the center services and its new location. Also toward sustaina-bility, the User Committee began charging a monthly contribution fee from the member CSOs; they have already used the profits from this initiative to design a CEC logo and purchase a stamp for the center with the logo on it. The center continues to serve as a hub for access to resources, key civic engagement activities, and diverse approaches to conflict resolution. This quarter, the Wau CEC worked with SUCCESS strategic partner and grantee YWCA to begin offering more formal trauma healing and counselling services at the center—a need expressed by many of the users. The center also saw an increase in users coming to the center to make use of the library this quarter due to the additional books donated by the US Embassy in Juba.

The local women’s forum held monthly at the CEC has effectively increased the interaction and coor-dination of women to engage on issues that affect them such as SGBV, abuse of women’s rights, and economic challenges. As a User Committee leader, Women Training and Promotion (WOTAP) has worked hard to ensure women know they can use the Wau CEC as an open and safe space to address their issues. In May, WOTAP organized a forum for 40 local women from CSOs, government, Protec-tion of Civilians (PoC) sites, and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps on the formulation of laws to protect women and families from SGBV. The participants discussed legal avenues to protection of women and collective development, formulating recommendations related to family law, participation of women in decision making, and the prohibition of bars in residential areas. Their recommendations

were submitted to the female members of parliament (MPs) who participated, to be shared in the next meeting of the state parliament in July. Mrs. Merry Emilo Bafuka, an MP from Wau South, spoke of the importance of these forums, asserting “this series of activities has encouraged women to gain cour-age in discussing their rights.”

As an additional effort to engage more women at the center and empower them with skills that can impact their lives positively, SUCCESS works in Wau with Initiative for Community Development to train women in basic computer skills that they can use to promote their businesses and organizations or to increase their marketability to improve on their livelihood. Conducted in series, these activities have helped some to improve their computer skills while others have started using a computer for the first time. One such participant who had no computer experience, Linda John, works at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Construction. The course has helped her in her work, as she now registers land documents on the computer instead of by hand. The course also inspired her to continue studying and improving her computer skills, pursuing a course at the DORCAS International computer training center. She noted the importance of such classes at the Wau CEC to empower women, especially be-cause “most do not have the ability to pay for a computer course… [and] this a gateway for us to learn new skills and new technology.”

Yambio Civic Engagement Center

The Yambio CEC User Committee continues to work very closely with the SUCCESS CEC Officer to run the center together. In fact, a YWCA volunteer and cleaner for the CEC has become Information Officer of the User Committee, far exceeding the responsibilities included in her job description. For the full story of her transformation, please refer to the Attachments to this report. With SUCCESS support, the User Committee and host organization have finalized the MoU that will guide their joint management of the center after the SUCCESS project ends.

In Q3, the computer courses for women continued to be very popular, as well as the introduction of film screenings using winning movies from the Internews-supported Juba Film Festival. In order to respond to the needs of female users, Action for Peace and Development Organization and COPE work together with the User Committee to organize computer sessions every week for secondary school girls, business women, and women CSO members. Meanwhile, the Yambio CEC held film screenings this quarter specifically targeting youth and showing films related to girls’ education, early pregnancy, and peaceful coexistence, which have generated conversations that continue beyond the CEC.

In June, for instance, COPE facilitated a four-hour film screening and discussion with 160 students and teachers (103 females, 53 males) focusing on the challenges girl students face from parents, men, and the community at large, as well as the importance of education and how teachers can influence parents to support their children in school. Following this movie, one secondary school student, Tereza Daniel, said, “I was almost deceived by a man few months ago but after watching this film, this is not going to happen. A man was telling me he loved me and would like to marry me. He still continues with this act but after watching this movie I am not going to fall into this problem.”

Also this quarter, Livelihood Empowerment and Advocacy Program (LEAP) organized a two-day peacebuilding workshop for 30 young people (15 females, 15 males) at the Yambio CEC under the theme “Youth reintegration toward peace and nation-building in Western Equatoria.” The 30 youth were part of a group of former child soldiers who were recently released by opposition forces. The youth learned about a wide range of topics including peace, reconciliation, forgiveness, youth leader-ship, and conflict transformation. On the third day, LEAP brought the youth together with chiefs, CSO members, government officials, and international organizations for a roundtable discussion to promote cooperation toward sustainable peaceful coexistence in Gbudue state. Participants discussed the future of the demobilized youth and gave recommendations on how best to support them and build and sustain peace among the civilian population in Yambio. The youth called for forgiveness and acceptance back into the community. As one youth participant said, “We are asking the chiefs, citizens, and authorities of the state to take our message of apology to the communities that they should forgive us for all the bad things we have done to our people. They should accept us back in the community so that we par-ticipate in the development of the state. We thank the organizers of the training for providing us with


the knowledge that is going to help us stay well and be adapted to the community and become useful citizens.”

Activity 3.2.2: Support the Long-Term Sustainability of Civic Engagement Centers

CEC Co-Location

As part of the CEC sustainability strategy, SUCCESS is working with the User Committees of each center to identify more sustainable locations for the CECs within local organizations in order to reduce operating costs and facilitate their operation after the SUCCESS project ends. The Juba, Yambio, and Aweil centers are already co-located, and SUCCESS continued to work with the User Committees and host organizations in those locations to strengthen their working relationship and finalize decisions about the centers’ management after SUCCESS. The Wau CEC moved to the premises of Unity Culture and Development Center in May, and, as mentioned in prior sections, SUCCESS immediately began working with UCDC and the User Committee to collaborate on managing the center and to develop an MoU to guide their relationship. In Torit, SUCCESS continued to explore the possibility of relocating the center to the CRS compound. While Rumbek has presented the greatest challenge to co-location, the User Committee and SUCCESS are actively exploring possibilities with UNMISS for upgrades to the compound of User Committee member organization DARD to accommodate the center. SUCCESS also spoke with Architecture, Engineering, Consulting, Operations, and Maintenance (AECOM) about potentially relocating the center to their underutilized women’s center in Rumbek if no other options come through. The location of this center is not ideal, so it will be maintained as a last resort option for the Rumbek CEC’s relocation.

Solar Power for CECs

SUCCESS also advanced on implementing solar power for its centers this quarter, an important part of the CEC sustainability plan. Given that one of the highest operating costs at the centers is purchasing fuel and maintaining the generators, solar power will facilitate the User Committees’ ability to continue to run the centers after SUCCESS ends. This quarter, SUCCESS contractor AfriTech finalized instal-lation of solar power at the JCRC. The U.S. State Department in Juba donated 85 batteries and 82 solar panels toward this system, supplemented by an additional 28 solar panels purchased by SUCCESS to cover the full power needs of the JSWU compound. For a full success story on the launch of this solar power system, please refer to the attachments to this report. SUCCESS also continued to work with USAID and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) this quarter to collaborate on the installation of solar power for the Yambio CEC. UNOPS, in coordination with USAID, has agreed to directly install solar power in Yambio, covering all associated costs. UNOPS has finalized the procure-ment of the contractor to install, test, and commission solar power for the Yambio CEC and has report-edly begun sending equipment to Yambio in preparation for installation. AECOM conducted a site visit to the Wau CEC this quarter to assess power needs in preparation for signing a grant agreement with the center to install solar power there. Next quarter, AECOM hopes to begin installation for the Wau center and also assess power needs at the Aweil CEC to potentially install solar power there as well.

Sub-Component 3.3: CSOs Engage More Effectively with Stakeholders to Mitigate Conflict Caused by or Exacerbated by Political Processes Under Sub-Component 3.3 this quarter, SUCCESS supported its coalition partners—the Taskforce, the WMF, and the TJWG—to engage on the HLRF and conduct advocacy for an inclusive peace process. All three groups found ways to push for citizen voices from around the country to be considered in the HLRF process. Overall, through the coalition events and CEC activities, SUCCESS supported 200 or-ganizations to engage in peace processes this quarter.

Activity 3.3.1: Support Civil Society to Participate in, Monitor and Report on the Peace Process and Conflict Mitigation Processes

Peace Implementation Monitoring Initiative Conducts Outreach to States

This quarter, the Taskforce under the Peace Implementation Monitoring Initiative (PIMI) grant project travelled to the states to disseminate their March monitoring report, share information on the status of


the HLRF, and collect citizen views on the peace process. The Taskforce visited the Wau and Rumbek CECs in April, the Yambio CEC in May, and the Aweil CEC in June.

Through these advocacy visits the members of the Taskforce led discussions on the findings and rec-ommendations of the fifth peace monitoring report, as well as on the HLRF process. The discussions provided a platform for local citizens to share their own views and recommendations for inclusion in the next PIMI report, due to be launched in August. Additionally, these visits helped ensure a channel of communication between the CSO delegates to the HLRF with civil society at the grassroots level, which was a significant gap during the 2015 peace negotiations. Recommendations gathered included that the President and former First Vice President be excluded from participating in the next transitional government and that the country return to the former ten states system. They also suggested the creation of a unified and professionally trained army reflective of the diversity of South Sudanese communities and a comprehensive disarmament and demobilization plan.

In Yambio and Aweil, participants primarily discussed the different potential outcomes, including what implementation should look like if an agreement is reached, and what steps to take if an agreement is not signed. Participants also discussed how to address hate speech and rumors. Participants called for forgiveness and acceptance of one another, good faith implementation of the ceasefire agreement, and tougher sanctions on the leaders of the warring parties if they fail to reach and implement a compromise. The discussions also generated the following recommendations for if an agreement is reached:

• The issue of civilian disarmament and professionalizing the army should be addressed urgently because rampant access to weapons by civilians has increased insecurity throughout the coun-try.

• The disarmament and management of collected weapons should be done through an open, transparent process and led by an external body due to concern that the government may not be able to effectively manage the process of collecting weapons from citizens. From previous ex-perience, weapons collected from citizens by the government always find their way back into the hands of the citizens again. To avoid such issues, a neutral independent body should spear-head the disarmament and management of the collected weapons.

• Handling of the issue of number of states requires critical analysis because the redrawing of states has already created new problems within the communities.

• Ensuring the independence of the three arms of government is important if the country is to transition into an era of good governance. They expressed concern, however, that as long as the parliamentarians and people in the judicial arm of the government are appointed by the political leaders, chances are low that independence of the three arms of the government can be achieved before election.

• The participants expressed that they really need to elect their own leaders as soon as possible, because the current people in power were elected in 2010, when the country was still part of the Sudan, but as far as they are concerned they need fresh elections. “None of the current leaders were elected by us. We have never elected any South Sudanese into power,” remarked a participant.

Meanwhile, if an agreement is not reached, participants called for:

• The international community to quickly exert strong pressure on the parties including through more sanctions.

• A new governance structure should be implemented. Participants generally debated two possi-ble scenarios: either South Sudanese experts and technocrats should be given the opportunity to lead the country for a period of time and prepare it for elections, or an external body should take control and lead the preparations for elections.

PIMI Partners Engage with Key Stakeholders to Advance Recommendations on the Peace Process

On June 6, the Taskforce hosted a multi-stakeholders forum on the HLRF and the fate of the peace process in South Sudan attended by 106 people (43 females, 63 males). These large participant numbers demonstrate public interest in the HLRF and citizens’ desire for their voices to be heard in this process. Five panelists, representing CSOs, academia, the women’s bloc, the AU, and the Council of Churches


presented on their respective roles during the HLRF negotiations, progress made and challenges in the peace process, as well as necessary next steps for achieving a peace agreement. The academic panelist, for instance, asserted that the HLRF process had lost its credibility, while the Church described the progress they were able to make during the intra-South Sudanese dialogues in May. The panelists then engaged in an interactive discussion with the participants about how to see more success in the next round of the HLRF and what other steps might need to be taken to compel the South Sudanese leaders to truly ensure peace. Many urged the AU to take over the process from the IGAD, while others highlighted that people were focusing on blaming IGAD in-stead of holding the parties responsible for perpetuating the conflict. One participant as-serted: “I’ve lost hope in our leadership, IGAD, and the AU… we need to trust each other and regain our power as citizens. The future of our country does not depend on our leaders, the future of our country depends on us.” CSO representative Rajab Mohandis echoed this sentiment: “We’ve all suffered and no one can carry the burden alone. It is our collective responsibility to bring peace to South Sudan.” The Ambassador to the AU, meanwhile, asserted “let us not deceive ourselves. By handing the process to the AU, everything will not be fixed.” Rather, he explained, IGAD, the AU, and the international community all need to work together to bring peace to South Sudan, and, even more importantly, he encouraged that the South Sudanese people need “to speak with one voice.”

SUCCESS Fosters Nationwide Engagement on HLRF through the CECs

In coordination with the PIMI project and the civil society delegates to the HLRF, SUCCESS worked this quarter to facilitate information sharing on the peace process with grassroots citizens through the CECs by sponsoring forums at all of the CECs to discuss developments in the negotiations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Khartoum, Sudan. For this purpose, SUCCESS facilitated coordination and infor-mation sharing between the CSO representatives in Addis and Juba with the User Committees of the SUCCESS CECs in the states. These began in May during the continuation of the second round of the HLRF and continued in June as the talks moved to Khartoum. Civil society members at the state level applauded this effort as they are hungry for information and eager for their voices to be heard. Across the country, participants shared their views on IGAD’s role in the process, priority issues such as women’s representation that should be addressed, and opinions on the various governance and security proposals. In Rumbek, the civil society network produced a press statement following their discussions, expressing their frustration with the process, urging greater efforts for intra-South Sudanese dialogues, and calling on IGAD, the AU, the Troika countries, and the UN security council to impose greater punitive measures as a way of ensuring true implementation of peace.

SSTO Addresses Conflict through Theatre

This quarter, SUCCESS strategic partner the South Sudan Theatre Organization com-pleted their grant project entitled “Art-an Ef-fective Tool for Conflict Resolution,” work-ing with youth in Juba and Rumbek to use theater to raise awareness on conflict resolu-tion mechanisms. SSTO first mobilized di-verse youth from each location and trained them on theater performances, script writing, the role of the joker, turning ideas into partic-ipatory performances, and interacting with the audience. In addition, the participants learned about the ways citizen participatory

theater can be used as a tool for nation- and peace-building. The participants then used the knowledge gained to develop their own scripts based on issues in their own communities. In Rumbek, for instance, performances focused on the issues of cattle raiding, revenge killings, and the importance of education for girls. The Juba scripts, meanwhile, emphasized peaceful coexistence among the diverse populations of the Juba, highlighting the negative im-pact of tribalism. They also performed on issues related to early marriage, polygamy, and encouragement of women’s entrepre-neurship. These performances, each bring-ing together hundreds of people, provided an innovative platform to increase citizens’ awareness on key issues causing conflict in their communities and peaceful ways to re-solve those conflicts, to encourage inclusive participation in peace and reconciliation, and to change mindsets and biases relating to tribal and gender discrimination.

CAPaD Builds Resilience and Peace in Jonglei

This quarter, strategic partner CAPaD began implementing a SUCCESS grant aimed at building resili-ence and promoting peace healing among communities affected by the conflict in Bor and Awerial. CAPaD first conducted a training on conflict resolution and trauma healing in Bor, Jonglei state, at-tended by 26 participants (nine females, 17 males) including students, teachers, and community leaders. The community leaders trained led the formation of two trauma healing committees (THCs). The THCs will serve as ambassadors for peace and trauma healing in their communities, applying lessons learned through the training to help heal their fellow community members. The THCs also hold monthly meet-ings to discuss issues affecting their communities, including unfair judgments in the local courts, land-related disputes, fighting over water points, cattle rustling, and hate speech against other communities.

The trained students and teachers, meanwhile, will lead the formation of peace clubs in their respective schools. These clubs will actively lead healing and peacebuilding activities, including through art and performance. In July, CAPaD will deliver a similar training for parallel activities in Minkaman, Awerial, an area hosting IDPs from Jonglei.

YWCA Brings Trauma Healing Services to Wau

This quarter, SUCCESS strategic partner YWCA launched their SUCCESS grant project “Promoting Peaceful Coexistence through Psychosocial Support for Traumatized Citizens in Wau.” In August 2017, in preparation for launching its new branch in Wau, YWCA conducted a needs assessment of local communities. As a result of that assessment, one of the greatest needs identified was for trauma healing services, given the large impact of the conflict on the Wau communities. Likewise, users of the SUCCESS Wau CEC continually called for such services. Particularly among the IDP populations and those residing in the Wau PoC site, the effects of trauma are significant, and women and children are among those hardest hit. Through this SUCCESS project, YWCA is able to address this need, extending its trauma healing support services—currently offered in its other branches—to Wau, targeting women, children, and other vulnerable populations in particular. YWCA began by reaching out to different communities in Wau, including church leaders, members of the PoC site and IDP camps, local chiefs, and women’s groups, to raise awareness on their SUCCESS grant project and recruit trauma healing counsellors. Then, at the Wau CEC, YWCA trained the 19 newly recruited counsellors (14 females, five males) to prepare them to offer psychosocial support, trauma healing, and counselling services to the diverse communities of Wau. Through this training, the new counsellors learned key principles of social work and psychosocial counselling, different manifestations of trauma, ethics in trauma healing, and communication skills, among other skills needed to bring healing to their communities.

YWCA conducted various aware-ness raising activities, including outreach events and a radio talk show on Voice of Hope FM to intro-duce the YWCA trauma healing center in Wau. At these events and on the radio, YWCA discussed the benefits and importance of trauma healing to the communities in Wau and called on citizens to offer sup-port to family members, access the center for counselling services, and encourage understanding and peace-ful coexistence in their communi-ties. YWCA also raised awareness

on the different types of healing services offered, manifestations of trauma, and the different healing activities it will conduct under the SUCCESS grant project. The events encouraged participants to ap-proach YWCA for counselling, while also encouraging the diverse communities to embrace reconcili-ation and peaceful coexistence for healing.

Once trained, the new YWCA counsellors immediately began providing services to the community. In June, YWCA took the counsellors to the Wau juvenile detention center to provide psychosocial support to the young people there, given that they identified a great need among the detained children, in par ticular given their current living conditions. While at the facility, YWCA conducted counseling sessions with 61 young inmates (nine females, 52 males), who, upon learning about the service, voluntarily asked for the sessions. These confidential sessions enabled the detained children to share their feelings and work through any issues. One child shared: “Today we are grateful to have YWCA, and it’s our first time to experience this since some of us were imprisoned. I have been empowered, now am feeling at home after addressing my issues to the counselor. We need these counsellors to be visiting us every time, and I assure them that after my release from here I will be a better person.” During Q4, YWCA will continue to visit conflict-ridden and displaced communities directly to offer their counselling ser-vices, as well as offering monthly healing sessions at the Wau CEC.

Activity 3.3.2: Support Civil Society to Advocate for Improved Security Environment

This quarter, SSuNDE made strides in implementing its SUCCESS grant project aimed at creating di-alogue between civil society and the security sector in order to advocate for citizens’ safety concerns. As part of that, SSuNDE’s State Steering Committees (SSCs) held monthly safety review meetings in the former 10 states of South Sudan to identify challenges and issues related to citizens’ security and safety. The SSCs will use the information gathered during these meetings, as well as the meetings them-selves, to engage their respective state police and local authorities to improve and address the issues affecting local communities. A total of 20 security and safety of civilians meetings were conducted in the former 10 states (two meetings per state) in May and June, during which each SSC identified crim-inal trends in its own location. For instance, in Bentiu, the SSuNDE SSC has identified gang practices, looting of civilian properties, revenge killings, and SGBV both in the PoCs and outside them. Mean-while, in Juba, the SSC has focused on cases of unknown gunmen killing civilians, sporadic shootings at night in most neighborhoods, drug abuse, and involuntary under age prostitutions, while in Warrap and Kuajok, the SSCs recorded primarily cases of cattle raiding, rape, and looting.

Over the coming months, the SSuNDE SSCs plan to use a variety of strategies to mitigate criminal activities affecting the safety of CSOs and citizens in their states, including advocating for community policing; establishing a regulated network of night patrollers; creating early warning security awareness through outreach and community debates; and peace dialogues to restore trust and confidence. SSuNDE also received NSS clearance for its nationwide citizen perception survey of the security situation this quarter and plans to launch the survey in July.

Activity 3.3.3: Strengthen Capacity of Civil Society Advocacy in the Implementation of Peace and Reconciliation Processes (Transitional Justice) WMF Generates Discussion on Priority Issues and Advocates for Inclusivity

This quarter, SUCCESS continued to support the Women’s Monthly Forum to engage with communi-ties across the country and advocate for women’s representation in the peace process. This included trips to the states to brief grassroots women on the HLRF, collect their views on the process, and pro-mote women’s local leadership and inclusion. In April, WMF representatives travelled to Maridi, Kua-jok, and the Aweil CEC to consult with local women. The WMF representatives shared information on the HLRF and the December 2017 CoHA, as well as the gender gaps within the 2015 peace agreement. They also discussed women-led advocacy and how to assert their leadership in the peace process and in local governance. At the April monthly forum event in Juba, the WMF shared the information they gathered from their visits to the states in March and April with their colleagues in the capital. This is

part of the WMF’s approach to building a bridge among women across the country to work together to push for peace and respect for women’s rights. Based on inputs from the states and Juba, the participants worked together in that forum to brainstorm advocacy strategies to engage on and influence the HLRF.

Over the rest of the quarter, the WMF continued their outreach to the states, visiting Kapoeta and the CECs in Yambio, Wau, Rumbek, and Torit, where they discussed HLRF progress with local women and continued to promote women’s in-clusion and leadership in the process. Through these events, the WMF also raised awareness on

the roles women can play in peacebuilding and reconciliation. Kapoeta women called for the prioriti-zation of security sector reform to build a pluralistic and ethnically inclusive security sector in an effort to regain citizens’ trust in security forces. The women in Kapoeta also called for strong engagement at the national and the state level; since the creation of new states, women’s representation at the national level has been poor. In Yambio, women voiced their concern of being left behind in the peace process as information-sharing is lacking. To address the gap, the WMF representatives shared information regarding the gender analysis of the peace agreement and the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed during the first round of the HLRF. In Torit, participants called for more representation of women in the executive, restructuring of the security sector, and demilitarization of civilian centers. In Rumbek, local women leaders discussed ways of strengthening the link between women at various levels around the country to facilitate women’s contributions into the peace agreement. Meanwhile in Wau, women focused on the need for true security sector reform and prioritization of ending SGBV. Overall, women at the state level called on the leaders of South Sudan to put aside their self-interests and focus on bringing peace to the citizens of South Sudan.

Based on these consultations and discussions, the WMF began drafting a position paper and planning for a women’s march for peace as part of their advocacy strategy (to be conducted in July).

Transitional Justice Working Group Fosters Discussion on Justice and Reconciliation

During this reporting period, SUCCESS supported the TJWG to continue its monthly forums on rele-vant topics related to transitional justice mechanisms and current developments in the peace process. The TJWG grant ended in early April, so SUCCESS continued to support the monthly forums directly while awaiting guidance from USAID on the possible project extension.

In April, the TJWG held their monthly forum in Juba with 70 participants (20 females, 50 males) under the theme “Making Transitional Justice Work in South Sudan.” During the forum, the TJWG discussed regional and international experiences in transitional justice, as well as the framework for transitional justice set out in Chapter V of the 2015 peace agreement. The panelists raised awareness on the different

transitional justice institutions included in Chapter V, explaining how the Commission for Truth, Rec-onciliation and Healing (CTRH) provides a platform for victims to tell their stories, while the Hybrid Court of South Sudan (HCSS) would provide a mechanism for perpetrators to be held accountable. Participants discussed issues that need to be taken into account in the particular context of South Sudan, including the long history of conflict and human rights violations that began long before the most recent years of conflict. Participants also discussed the lack of political will to implement transitional justice and the importance of raising awareness about transitional justice and pushing for its true implementa-tion under the revitalized agreement.

May’s TJWG forum focused on the theme “The Fate of the High Level Revitalization Forum and Justice in South Sudan” to solicit CSO perspectives, encourage consideration of transitional justice needs in South Su-dan, and ensure wide dissemination of the status of the HLRF to citizens. The forum brought together 56 par-ticipants (15 females, 41 males), including representa-tives from CSOs, faith-based organizations, women’s groups, government officials, and media, among oth-ers. The speakers updated participants on the progress of the revitalization forum, the proposed power sharing arrangement, and the lack of political will that is hin-dering the peace process. Panelist Rajab Mohandis—civil society representative to the HLRF—shared de tails on the May negotiations, having just returned from the talks in Addis Ababa. Academic panelist Dr.

Okuk, meanwhile, declared the HLRF the wrong approach, calling instead for a completely new gov-ernment with new actors. Participants suggested that going forward, the mediation should be led by former leaders of African countries with experience in conflict mitigation. Participants also recom-mended that the TJWG continue consultations with South Sudanese on how best to establish the insti-tutions in Chapter V of the peace agreement and requested that the TJWG continue to provide a platform for the CSOs to advocate for transitional justice and support the implementation of the transitional jus-tice provisions in the peace agreement.

In the June forum, the TJWG led an interactive discussion on “Transitional Justice Priorities and Chal-lenges for South Sudan,” bringing together 68 participants (24 females, 44 males). The forum panelists looked at the various challenges that South Sudan faces in achieving justice and potential avenues for success. One panelist, from the University of Juba, discussed lessons South Sudan can learn from other countries that have implemented transitional justice mechanisms successfully. Another panelist—the Chairperson of the South Sudan Human Rights Commission—looked specifically at the challenges to transitional justice based on the history and nature of the conflict in South Sudan. In particular, he highlighted that the government is opposed to the HCSS, which is why it tried to redirect the transitional justice discussion by calling for a National Dialogue. He asserted, meanwhile, that the government may be more willing to proceed with plans for the CTRH if it were disentangled from the HCSS. Overall, however, he suggested that for transitional justice to work, decision- and policy-makers would have to be enlightened as they lack information on the concepts and fear the unknown; he also asserted that South Sudan would need a mechanism to pursue transitional justice without the signatories to the peace agreement, given their lack of political will to implement Chapter V. The panelists further stressed the potential of the HLRF to invigorate the transitional justice process and galvanize regional support for implementation and accountability. In addition to the national level HLRF, the panelists and participants emphasized the need for reconciliation at the community level, highlighting how the prolonged civil war in South Sudan has torn communities apart and how inter-communal violence and human rights violations continue to affect a large percentage of the population. To address these issues, South Sudan needs not only a national level transitional justice process, but also local level programs geared towards community reconciliations to foster trust building and peaceful coexistence.

CSO Representative to the HLRF Rajab Mohandis speaks about his experience


Through these forums and outreach efforts, the TJWG continued to draw attention to their important work advocating for transitional justice. SUCCESS facilitated this effort, including by helping the TJWG to make connections with other international donors and organizations. This included a meeting between the TJWG and the Swedish organization Civil Rights Defenders. The two groups explored opportunities for collaboration, in particular the possibility for Civil Rights Defenders to provide the TJWG with training on documenting cases of human rights violations. Furthermore, as a result of their increased recognition, the TJWG coalition members have been invited to engage with institutions such as IGAD, the AU, and the Horn of Africa for collaboration and information sharing. Over the coming months, SUCCESS will continue to support the TJWG to raise awareness on key measures for recon-ciliation and lead the fight for implementation of transitional justice mechanisms.

Challenges and Lessons Learned during Program Implementation in Quarter Three The SUCCESS program team identified several key lessons learned from the challenges and successes of program implementation this quarter. Below is a discussion of these lessons.

Support CSOs to Take the Lead on Critical Activities

This quarter highlighted the effectiveness of the SUCCESS programming strategic approach of sup-porting CSO partners to take the lead in directly implementing activities. SUCCESS through its imple-menting partners the TJWG, WMF, and PIMI continued to use this approach to sensitize citizens on important political developments in the country including the HLRF process. Likewise, local organiza-tions through direct support at the CECs were able to continue to address local issues, as well as coor-dinate with SUCCESS and national coalition partners to raise awareness on the peace process. The TJWG continued to implement its monthly forum to create awareness on Chapter V of the ARCSS and transitional justice mechanisms, a critical aspect of peace, yet a topic the government is particularly reluctant to implement. The SUCCESS approach to sensitive programming continues to create impact as CSOs partners engage the public and state actors through their advocacy efforts and enhance in-formed citizenry whose voices are channeled by the CSO partners to inform political and peace pro-cesses.

Stakeholder Relations

In Q3, SUCCESS continued to build strong working relationships with local partners, international agencies, and diplomatic missions to ensure effective synergies and enhanced programming. This quar-ter, SUCCESS facilitated several meetings between local partners and international donors as an effort to increase impact and promote sustainability for key partners. These meeting included a session be-tween a delegate from the Canadian Embassy with representatives from the WMF, the TWJG, and YWCA. As mentioned in the previous section, SUCCESS also brought together the TJWG with the Swedish organization Civil Rights Defenders to explore collaboration on the documentation of human rights violations. Additionally, to enhance coordinated programming, SUCCESS team participated in sessions organized by Oxfam and other international donors to prevent overlap of activities related to the HLRF, as well as to explore areas of potential collaboration, in particular through information shar-ing at the CECs. SUCCESS also held meetings with UNMISS in Juba and Rumbek about potential support for the sustainability of the Rumbek CEC. Especially given funding limitations, this collabora-tion with other donors helps maximize impact of SUCCESS programming and support SUCCESS part-ners to pursue sustainability.


Program Progress: Quantitative Impact During this reporting period, SUCCESS continued to support constructive civil society engagement on political and peace processes across South Sudan, through both direct support and grants for CSO activities, as well as capacity building efforts for key SUCCESS partners. SUCCESS gathered data on each of the indicators under the three active sub-components of the project in line with the approved Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Plan. Progress towards the Year 5 targets submitted to USAID in December 2017 and highlights of activities conducted this quarter are included under each of the quarterly tracked indicators below.

SUB-COMPONENT 3.1: Targeted Civil Society Organizations Constructively Participate in Political Processes Based on Issue-based Platforms that Represent Core Constituents

3.1.1 STANDARD INDICATOR [GJD 2.4.1-9 (Civil)]: Number of Assisted CSOs Engaged in Advocacy Interventions In Q3, SUCCESS supported 206 different CSOs to engage in advocacy interventions, exceeding the Year 5 target of 171 organizations. Many of these partners worked in prior quarters and continue to consistently engage in advocacy interventions through SUCCESS events, particularly at the CECs. CSOs led many of these advocacy activities at the CECs, which provide crucial space for such engagement, including CSO-led dialogues and roundtable events calling for greater women’s inclusion in peace and political processes, measures to reduce SGBV, and security sector reform, among others. SUCCESS also directly supported coalitions such as the Taskforce, the TJWG, and the WMF to engage in advocacy on topics such as the HLRF, the 2016 NGO Act, and transitional justice mechanisms.

3.1.2 STANDARD INDICATOR [GJD 2.4.1 (Civic Participation)]: Number of CSOs using USG Assistance to Improve Internal Or-ganizational Capacity During this reporting period, SUCCESS focused on providing comprehensive organizational development support for the six strategic partners and the CEC User Committees. In Q3, SUCCESS delivered a number of trainings both in Juba and in the states in areas of IT, M&E, and governance and leadership, among others. Overall in Q3, SUCCESS support the organizational development of 79 organizations, representing 99% of the Year 5 target of 80 organizations. SUCCESS achieved the target in Q1 of this year and is progressively downscaling organizational development support over the course of the program year. The User Committee organizations and strategic partners, however, continue to receive organizational development support each quarter.

3.1.5 CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of Individuals Who Receive USG-assisted Civil Society Training This quarter, a total of 610 individuals (418 females, 192 males) received SUCCESS-assisted civil society training, representing 83% of the Year 5 target of 732 individuals trained. These beneficiaries received skills and knowledge on different subjects, including many courses for women on using computers. Civil society members also received training on conflict mitigation, governance and leadership, and trauma healing, among others.


SUB-COMPONENT 3.2: Knowledgeable Citizens Constructively Engage with Political Processes

3.2.1 STANDARD INDICATOR [GJD 2.3.2-12 (Political)]: Number of Individuals Receiving Voter and Civic Education through USG-assisted Programs In Q3, SUCCESS and its CSO partners conducted 143 activities related to civic education topics; those activities reached 6,616 people (3,548 males, 3,068 females), representing 61% of the Year 5 target of 10,800 individuals. Together with Q1 and Q2 numbers, a total of 13,900 people (6,252 females, 7,648 males) have received civic education through the SUCCESS program in Year 5, exceeding the target. These activities addressed significant political and peace processes such as transitional justice, legislation and good governance, gender mainstreaming and equality, the HLRF, and peacebuilding and reconciliation.

3.2.3: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of Civil Society Members that use CECs or NPC to Increase their Knowledge and Capacity to Conduct CSO work in Democracy and Governance area During this reporting period, 5,614 civil society members (2,961 males, 2,653 females) used the SUCCESS CECs across the country to increase their knowledge and capacity to conduct CSO work in democracy and governance, defined to include participating in events related to peace processes, government accounta-bility, countering closing space, and national cohesion. In particular, SUCCESS facilitated CSOs to engage actively on the HLRF this quarter through the CECs. The CECs also continued to host community dialogues and roundtables on topics such as the women’s participation in peace and political processes, youth leadership and civic participation, and the rights of persons with disabilities, among many others. This represents 51% of the Year 5 target of 11,000 civil society members. So far in Year 5, a total of 13,219 civil society members (5,924 females, 7,295 males) have used the CECs for their CSO work in areas related to democracy and governance, exceeding the Year 5 target.

3.2.4: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of CSO-organized Meetings Taking Place in the CECs or NPC to Facilitate CSO Participation in Civic Engagement and Political Processes SUCCESS CECs continue to serve as central hubs for local organizations’ operations. During this quarter, CSOs directly organized 145 activities related to civic engagement and political processes at the six CECs (33% of the Year 5 target of 435): JCRC 24; Yambio 25; Aweil 22; Rumbek 29; Wau 28; and Torit 17. This indicator demonstrates activities led by local partners—with or without SUCCESS support—to use the center; it does not include the trainings and activities that the SUCCESS team implemented at the centers. Organizations used the centers to engage on a variety of topics, including trauma healing, strengthening women’s participation in governance, peacebuilding dialogues, and conflict mitigation events, among many others. In Year 5 to date, the CECs have hosted a total of 330 CSO-organized civic engagement activities, representing 76% of the target of 435.

SUB-COMPONENT 3.3: CSOs Engage More Effectively with Stakeholders to Mitigate Conflict

3.3.1: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of CSO Members Trained in Conflict Mediation/Resolution/Sensitivity Skills or Consensus-building with USG Assistance This quarter, SUCCESS partners reached 207 individuals (106 females, 101 males) with training on topics related to conflict mediation and sensitivity, achieving 27% of the Year 5 target of 770 individuals. YWCA and CAPaD under their SUCCESS grants conducted conflict resolution and trauma healing trainings in


Wau and Bor respectively. Fellow grantee SSTO trained actors in Rumbek and Juba to use theater as a conflict resolution tool. Meanwhile, local partners conducted workshops at the Yambio and Aweil CECs on conflict management and peacebuilding. As a result of all related activities over Year 5 to date, 744 CSO members (267 females, 477 males) have been trained in topics related to conflict mediation, representing 97% of the Year 5 target.

3.3.2: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of CSO Members Trained in Security with USG Assistance In Q3, there were no security trainings held with SUCCESS support. SUCCESS exceeded its Year 5 target for this indicator in Q2. Due to funding constraints, SUCCESS does not currently anticipate any additional security-related trainings in Year 5.

3.3.3: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of CSOs Trained in Security with USG Assistance In this reporting period, SUCCESS did not deliver any formal security trainings for CSOs. No Business Continuity trainings for CSOs’ organizational security were included in the SUCCESS Year 5 work plan due to budget constraints. The revised Year 5 PMEP targets submitted to USAID in December 2017 set the target for this indicator in Year 5 at zero. SUCCESS already exceeded its target of 40 organizations in Year 4, training 56 CSOs through the Business Continuity trainings.

3.3.4: CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of Individual CSOs Engaged in Security Dialogues involving Security Organs In Q3, a total of 41 organizations engaged in security dialogues involving security organs (68% of the Year 5 target of 60 CSOs) through events held at the Rumbek, Yambio, Wau, and Torit CECs, as well as through an event in Juba. Through CEC activities, local organizations aimed to advocate with local author-ities for security concerns in their communities to be addressed. ISPR held a dialogue in Juba for NSS, the RRC, and civil society to improve the operating environment for CSOs. The target for this indicator was reached in Q2. Many of those same organizations continue to engage in security dialogues, putting continued pressure for their safety concerns to be addressed.

3.3.5 USAID CUSTOM INDICATOR: Number of CSOs Assisted to Engage in Peace Processes This quarter, SUCCESS supported 200 CSOs to engage in peace processes—exceeding the Year 5 target of 151 organizations. Many of these are consistent SUCCESS partners that continue to push for peace at both the local and national levels over the course of the year. Given the effects of the ongoing conflict in South Sudan, support for civil society to counter this violence is more critical than ever. SUCCESS supports its CSO partners across the country—through its CECs, direct support, and grants—to implement a range of activities geared towards mitigating further conflict and restoring peace and stability. In Q3, organ-izations around the country conducted activities to engage on the HLRF, push for true implementation of the ceasefire and other agreements, and call for an inclusive process. CSO partners also worked to address local conflicts through the CECs and grants.

3.3.6: CUSTOM OUTPUT INDICATOR: Number of Peace Monitoring Reports made Public by CSOs receiving USG Support In Q3, SUCCESS partners did not release any public peace monitoring reports. The Taskforce under a SUCCESS grant to IPDSS continued to monitor imple-mentation the 2015 peace agreement and the HLRF over the quarter and plans to release its next report in Q4.

Performance Monitoring During this reporting period, SUCCESS continued to use performance monitoring as an essential aspect of the SUCCESS project implementation. SUCCESS uses its PMEP to guide the process of data collection and analysis as well as generating weekly and quarterly reports and influencing decision-making pro-cesses. Based on funding constraints foreseen for Year 5 and the Implementation Plan submitted to USAID, SUCCESS updated its indicator targets, submitted to USAID in December 2017.

As described in the body of this report, SUCCESS continued to support its partners this quarter on M&E processes. This quarter, SUCCESS provided specialized M&E training to the Rumbek CEC User Com-mittee to ensure effective and efficient project implementation, while continuing to mentor the other User Committees. The trainings form part of the SUCCESS CEC sustainability and exit strategy to enhance the User Committees’ management capacity so that the centers can continue to operate beyond the life-time of the SUCCESS project.

Furthermore, SUCCESS conducted a monitoring visit to grantee YWCA in Wau this quarter to evaluate project achievements, while also having several sessions with grantee SSuNDE to monitor progress under their grant. SUCCESS also worked with all five active grantees this quarter on their reporting and finan-cial management skills. SUCCESS also held focus group discussions with project beneficiaries from 2017 grantees IDO, SHWDA, and COPE to assess project impact and gather feedback on the projects’ effec-tiveness in accomplishing their objectives.

SUCCESS will continue to work with the strategic partners over the coming months, guiding them as they implement their final grants and providing technical support for additional resource mobilization initiatives.


Other USAID Programs This quarter, SUCCESS continued to collaborate and coordinate activities with its fellow USAID imple-menting partners. SUCCESS continued to engage with fellow implementing partner CRS on the possibil-ity of relocating the Torit CEC to the CRS compound in Torit. In support of CEC sustainability, SUCCESS also revisited the idea explored in FY2017 for AECOM’s VISTAS project to support solar installation at the CECs. SUCCESS held discussions with AECOM and USAID on this possibility. SUCCESS also facilitated a site visit this quarter for an AECOM team member to visit the Wau CEC to assess power needs. AECOM submitted an approval request to USAID to install solar at the Wau CEC and, pending approval, will begin installation in Q4.

SUCCESS expanded the CEC film screenings this quarter to its centers around the country, which were hugely popular with the local communities. Fellow implementing partner Internews shared these winning films from the Juba Film Festival with SUCCESS in Q1. The films have raised awareness among CEC communities on key issues, while also diversifying CEC activities and attracting new users. Additionally, SUCCESS coordinated with Internews to connect their grantee Voice of Hope radio in Wau with our Wau User Committee in order to raise awareness about the new location of the Wau CEC. Internews also connected SUCCESS with Eye Radio in Juba to support a PSA for the WMF March for Peace in July.

The SUCCESS Security and Operations Director continued to contribute regularly to the Partner Liaison Security Operation (PLSO) steering committee for South Sudan. This quarter, SUCCESS provided the PLSO with updates on a variety topics, in particular on the HLRF. Additionally, in June, the SUCCESS Security and Operations Director was elected as the Private Sector Co-Chairperson of Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) for South Sudan. The Juba OSAC was formed in 2015 by the US Embassy Regional Security Office (RSO) to foster the exchange of security-related information between the US Government and the US private and NGO sector operating in South Sudan. Through OSAC, the American private business sector, non-governmental, educational, and religious organizations receive timely infor-mation to facilitate informed decision-making. The SUCCESS Security and Operations Director, together with the RSO, will continue to provide leadership to this Committee.

In addition to collaboration with other USAID programs, SUCCESS completed installation of 85 batteries and 82 solar panels donated by the U.S. State Department at the JCRC. SUCCESS, in coordination with the JCRC User Committee, the host organization JSWU, USAID, and the US Embassy, officially launched the system in May. Likewise, SUCCESS continued to work with UNOPS and USAID to ad-vance plans for solar power at the Yambio CEC. Installation is scheduled to begin in July 2018.


Progress on Links with Other GoSS Agencies As per USAID guidelines on direct engagement with government of South Sudan (GoSS) agencies, SUCCESS did not engage in direct interaction with government agencies this quarter. Rather, SUCCESS continued to focus on supporting its CSO partners to engage with the Government of South Sudan and key stakeholders, in particular on issues relating to the HLRF, the 2016 NGO Act and CSO registration, security concerns, and community-level issues. Local organizations through the CECs, in particular, con-tinued to hold civil society-local government dialogues this quarter to advocate for the GoSS to address citizen priority issues.


Progress on USAID Forward As described under activity 3.1.3, SUCCESS continued to support the organizational development of its six strategic partners identified as potential future USAID Forward recipients this quarter. This quarter, all six of those organizations received direct trainings and mentorship, in particular on resource mobili-zation to facilitate long-term sustainability. Those with Juba offices received a three-day resource mobi-lization training and technical assistance to develop organizational resource mobilization plans. CMSS, based in Wau, received the same training earlier in Year 5. This quarter, though, SUCCESS continued to support CMSS’ ability to find funding by including the partner in a proposal writing workshop. At the request of YWCA, SUCCESS also provided guidance on a proposal the organization had developed for the US Embassy Opportunity for Funding released this quarter.

With SUCCESS support, SSuNDE is making an effort to revive the organization after the departure of its executive director in April. The SSuNDE board of directors is in the process of recruiting a new executive director, intended to be in place before the General Assembly and board elections in August. SUCCESS will continue to work very closely with SSuNDE management over the next quarter to strengthen its governance systems to resolve issues resulting from the conflict within the organization that led to the director’s dismissal. Through the SUCCESS grant and with technical support, SSuNDE also worked this quarter to strengthen its nationwide network, training its State Steering Committees (SSC) in governance, leadership, and networking in preparation for the General Assembly in August. These trainings strength-ened SSuNDE’s state-level structures and increased their understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the organization branches. This training prepared the SSCs for the upcoming General Assembly to elect new board members and approve the new constitution.

CAPaD is effectively advancing its marketing and networking capacity. The board members of the or-ganization have become more active and are helping to promote the organization’s vision and mission. The organization is still implementing projects funded by SUCCESS and Norwegian Peoples Aid. During this quarter, CAPaD recruited a finance officer to strengthen its financial management system. Since the recruitment of the finance officer, CAPaD has established a funding connection with World Vision. CA-PaD is also discussing of the possibility of Partnership Agreement with Care International to implement a peacebuilding program for youth in Bor. CAPaD has seen increased and strengthened partnerships fol-lowing the SUCCESS-supported launch of the organization’s Volunteer Policy and five-year strategic plan this quarter. The launch of these documents has increased the organization’s visibility.


Sustainability and Exit Strategy As mentioned in prior sections, SUCCESS continued to focus on implementing its sustainability plan for the six CECs this quarter. This is a central effort to ensure citizens can continue to make use of the CEC resources and have a neutral space for engagement and advocacy on key political and peace processes after the SUCCESS program ends. As part of this plan, SUCCESS is pursuing the co-location of the centers within local organizations to reduce the operating costs of those previously located within rental buildings. This quarter, as mentioned in the CEC section, SUCCESS completed the co-location of the Wau CEC within User Committee member organization UCDC. SUCCESS also continued to negotiate with CRS for the co-location of the Torit CEC to their compound. SUCCESS held a governance training for the Torit User Committee and the CRS Torit representative this quarter to support this effort. CRS is on board with the relocation plan and, pending the final security assessment results and signing of the MoU, SUCCESS plans to relocate the Torit center to CRS in Q4 for the CEC’s sustainability. In Rumbek, the User Committee has been actively engaging with UNMISS CAD about support for renovating the DARD compound to provide space for the CEC’s relocation there. SUCCESS is also exploring other possibilities for private funding to support the center’s sustainability, as well as possible relocation into the women’s center in Rumbek built with funding from USAID under the VISTAS project.

This quarter SUCCESS also continued to foster a strong working relationship between the User Commit-tees and host organizations in the already co-located centers (Juba, Yambio, Wau, and Aweil). This in-cluded guiding follow-up discussions to finalize the MoUs that will guide the relationship and operation of the centers after the SUCCESS project ends. Through these sessions, the User Committees and host organizations made progress on the more difficult discussions on cost sharing responsibilities in the draft MoUs. SUCCESS also conducted a governance training for the Wau User Committee and UCDC repre-sentatives to improve the working relationship, clarify issues between the two parties, and develop the initial draft MoU between them. SUCCESS also worked with the User Committees on their resource mobilization strategies and provided them with technical assistance to prepare their organizational docu-ments to register the centers as independent NGOs. JCRC successfully attained registration from the RRC and the other centers prepared their documents for registration in July. Once registered, SUCCESS offered technical support to the JCRC to apply to the Opportunity for Funding released by the U.S. Embassy. Also as discussed in further detail in earlier sections, the centers also applied a resource mobilization survey this quarter to generate concrete data to inform decision-making with regard to income-generating activities. These surveys gathered information from more than 500 users about what kinds of services they would be willing to pay for and how much. The User Committees continued to play an active role in managing the daily operation of the centers this quarter as SUCCESS phased out the CEC Assistant po-sition in January 2018.

In addition to co-locating the centers, SUCCESS made progress in equipping the centers with solar power as a key part of ensuring that the physical infrastructure of the centers is as easy as possible for the User Committees to continue to maintain after SUCCESS ends. As mentioned in prior sections, the solar power system—including panels and batteries donated by the U.S. State Department in Juba—was officially launched this quarter. SUCCESS also continued to work with USAID and UNOPS this quarter to collab-orate on the installation of solar power for the Yambio CEC. Installation of solar there is now scheduled to begin in July 2018. SUCCESS worked with AECOM this quarter to explore the possibility of their support for solar power in Wau. Plans are on track for AECOM to begin installation in Q4.

As discussed in the prior section, SUCCESS also continued to provide critical support this quarter to its strategic partners identified as potential USAID Forward recipients. SUCCESS is comprehensively pre-paring these six partners to receive and manage direct donor funding, which will facilitate their own sus-tainability beyond the SUCCESS project lifetime, as they will not only be ready to receive funding from USAID, but they will likewise be qualified to receive grants from other donors and sources. SUCCESS


support to these partners is a key part of its sustainability strategy, ensuring that the skills and capacities imparted through SUCCESS trainings remain in South Sudan after the SUCCESS program concludes.

Indirect

No construction is currently anticipated.

No activation of the fund is currently anticipated.

DI’s anticipated indirect rate is 33% for calendar year 2018. This is slightly different from the official indirect rate of 32.57% on the FS-425.

Spending dropped in Q3 with the departure of four local staff members. This will continue in Q4 as the program moves into closeout.

Allowances will increase in the final two quarters of the program as terminal benefits are paid to departing staff members. Fringe benefits for USNs are a constant ratio against all salaries and wages. DI’s approved fringe rate is 40.03%. This line also includes TCN and CCN benefits that are billed directly. DI provides CCN benefits in accordance with local labor law. This line will also decrease over FY2018 as the program decreases the number of employees. Travel expenses in Q3 decreased as pasts of the program moved into closeout.

Supplies and Equipment expenses increased slightly in Q3 with the costs associated with the relocation of the Wau CEC and preparations for relocating the remaining CECs. They will decrease in Q4 as the supplies needs decrease with the decrease ODC spending increased in Q3 as programming entered its final push. It will decrease Q4 as programming is reduced and the program moves into closeout. There are no active subcontracts.

Grant spending will increase in Q4 as the final payments are made to closing grants.


Project Administration Constraints and Critical Issues

Worsening Economy and Financial Constraints This quarter, the economic and financial situation in South Sudan continued to deteriorate and create challenges for program implementation.

The rate of inflation remained high, leading to exorbitant prices for goods and unpredictable variations in prices. In June, the government announced that it would begin printing a 500 SSP note. This will be the highest denomination in circulation, and its introduction was widely seen as recognition by the govern-ment that it is unable to control inflation. The SSP also continued to depreciate against the USD through-out the quarter. This was most noticeable in the black market rate, which rose 30 percent against the dollar during Q3.

Transferring USD to the CECs in the field continues to be a challenge. Since there are no banks that are operational in these locations, DI uses money transfer agencies to make the transfers. These charge high fees per transfer though and increase security risks by requiring the transport of cash in both Juba and the field. DI pays vendors directly by bank transfer whenever possible to reduce this risk. Some vendors in the field, however, do not have bank accounts, so DI still has to facilitate cash payments.

The banking system also continued to pose challenges this quarter. DI experienced delays on transactions that required USD conversions to SSP. These transactions have a long processing and approval time within the bank—normally four days—and then further delays waiting for the cash to be available to be withdrawn. Likewise, the process for USD cash withdrawals at the bank is time consuming and cumber-some despite the introduction of debit cards for walk-in customers to reduce waiting time in lines.

This quarter, DI started using the Stanbic online banking system for all payments from the field office except for cash withdrawals, tax payments, and transfers from USD to SSP. There are still a few chal-lenges with the system, such as incomplete or incorrect online bank statements that the bank needs to fix manually, but overall, the system is working well and has reduced bank movements.

Personnel This quarter, SUCCESS continued to reduce its staff in accordance with its Human Resource Phase Out Plan included in the Year 5 Implementation Plan. SUCCESS made these changes based primarily on funding constraints to ensure that the program is able to continue through September 2018. The SUCCESS “Full Program Implementation” phase ended in March 2018, marking the start of the “Reduced Program Implementation” stage scheduled to last from April to July. As such, one program officer, two grants officers, and one driver left the program during this reporting period.

Changes in the Project There were no significant changes in the project during Q3. The updated targets for Year 5 included in the PMEP submitted in December 2017 are still under review by USAID. USAID is also still reviewing the request for a no-cost extension to the period of performance for the SUCCESS project, as well as for incremental funding in the form of an increase to the obligated amount of the agreement.

Contract, Award or Cooperative Agreement Modifications and Amendments As mentioned above, SUCCESS awaits approval from USAID for a no-cost extension to the Cooperative Agreement. Democracy International submitted the request for a no-cost extension to the period of per-formance for the SUCCESS project on February 15, 2018, together with a request for incremental funding


in the form of an increase to the obligated amount of the agreement to be able to continue core program-ming throughout the extension period. SUCCESS engaged in discussions with USAID throughout the quarter about projected budget requirements and possible scenarios for the extension period. SUCCESS received feedback from USAID in July and hopes to finalize the modification in Q4.
