Over the past couple of weeks, Concordis International facilitated two regional cross-border meetings in Damazin and Bentiu in Sudan bringing together officials, traditional authorities and civil society representatives from both sides of Sudan's North-South border to build consensus on the nature of cross-border relations beyond the referendum.

More detailed reports of the events will be available in the coming weeks, but click here for the resolutions from the participants in Damazin and here for the resolutions from the participants in Bentiu.

In addition to these resolutions, participants specified action plans to enhance confidence, security and communication across the border in the coming weeks and months.

The two events were facilitated by Concordis International in partnership with the University of Juba Centre for Peace and Development Studies with support from the European Commission and the United States Agency for International Development.
