“Building the House of Governance: Political Accommodation in South Sudan”
2 min readThis is a-must-read Briefing paper, plus its supplement, from Conflict Dynamics International. Please find time to go over it; such kind of reports are rare to come by from the government of South Sudan nor from our own indigenous infant think-tanks. For your information, the term “political accommodation” above does not espouse one-party state system in South Sudan in which all political parties congregate in SPLM; rather, it means having tolerance for and appreciation of different political views/colors within South Sudan for the betterment of our country. Though the lead authors are foreigners, it is great to know that our own South Sudanese expert, Peter Biar Ajak, contributed to it as a research assistant as mentioned in the paper.

May 2012: Building the House of Governance – Political Accommodation in South Sudan
The independence of South Sudan on July 9, 2011 launched a period of remarkable transition. Essential to peaceful change are arrangements that give every member of South Sudanese society a secure place in the “house of governance.”
As South Sudan embarks on constitutional review and other transition processes, CDI has published the Briefing Paper “Building the House of Governance: Political Accommodation in South Sudan” with an accompanying Technical Supplement. This Briefing Paper is for South Sudanese who wish to engage in discussions about their common future, and serves two functions: it offers a technical approach to political accommodation; and it presents viewpoints to stimulate discussion about how governance arrangements can bring diverse interests into public life.
The Briefing Paper was presented at a public seminar in Juba on May 31, 2012 and at the Dr John Garang Memorial University in Bor, Jonglei State on June 14, 2012.
