Capacity Building

Conflict, natural stressors and shocks have weakened South Sudan’s institutions. The IEA continues to develop a set of strategies to build and strengthen the institutional capacity of key governance institutions to enable them play their proper roles in the strengthening of democracy and constitutionalism. Among beneficiaries of the capacity-building workshops and programs are national and state assemblies, civil society groups, clergy, media, judiciary and academia. For example; IEA shall recruit trained research assistants to provide assistants and support to members of parliament at national and state level in their legislative work.

IEA will strive to bring together Committees of Parliament, Public accounts committees to provide them with critical information on the policy implications of Bills and Contracts before the house and strengthen their role as watchdogs of the public purse. 

IESS will organize workshops and other forums bringing together members of parliament, judiciary, academia, private sector and civil society groups to engage in public discourse on key democratic, economic and social issues in the country, region and continent.

IEA will develop position papers and manuals to ensure increased and meaningful participation and representation of women and youth in leadership, decision making and governance.
