JMEC supports women workshop on revitalization forum, ceasefire Agreement
The Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission in partnership with the South Sudan Women Bloc and the UN Women will from Wednesday (March 21) conduct a three-day Ceasefire Agreement workshop for representatives of women organizations in South Sudan.
The workshop targets at least 150 women representatives from across the country.
It is aimed at engaging women in discussing ways to empower them and better understand the IGAD-led High Level Revitalization Forum and specially the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed in Addis last December, in order to help in its implementation and effect positive change among communities in South Sudan.
In December last year, Parties attending the High Level Revitalization Forum in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, signed the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians and Humanitarian Access.
The Agreement is billed as an important first step in the revitalization of the peace process.
