Making or Breaking Silos? Resilience programming in South Sudan

Resilience has been a commonly used concept among development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding actors in South Sudan for some years and putting it into practice has become increasingly relevant in the current context. There are a variety of ways in which resilience is interpreted and practiced in South Sudan. This can impact on coordination and learning efforts among donors and aid agencies, as well as dynamics within coordination fora, and conflict dynamics among South Sudanese communities. This paper highlights the existence of silos in resilience programming and coordination mechanisms, and analyses how these impact on achieving outcomes. It then identifies and assesses conflict sensitivity opportunities and risks related to resilience programming and coordination.
