What now? A conference on Sudan, South Sudan and the region

The purpose of this conference is to have forward looking discussions on the futures of Sudan and South Sudan, and the potential ramification of their internal conflict on the region. The current situation in both countries makes it difficult for political processes to take place to support the millions of people in humanitarian needs. What is needed to ensure functioning systems that serve the people and reduce the need for external support? The answers will be discussed here.

The conference is open to all, but you have to register to attend. To register for the conference you will have to pay a registration fee of 100 kroner to the Support group for Sudan and South Sudan on vipps number 93253 (Støttegruppe for fred i Sudan) and register your attendance here: https://forms.gle/6bNj66cAKrT3QtUt5
