Podcast: South Sudan’s decades of displacement: Understanding return and questioning reintegration
How are South Sudanese people experiencing displacement, return & reintegration & what does this mean for practitioners and policy makers? Listen to our new podcast
By Samuel Hall Team for the Global Development Institute
G enerations of South Sudanese have been affected by the cycle of violence and displacement; both before and after the country’s independence, despite the return and reintegration assistance provided by local actors and foreign organisations.
South Sudan is experiencing movements that are labelled as ‘return’ but that are, in fact, pendular (back and forth), partial (household splitting across borders) and transitory, which people rely on to minimise risks, as well as to access rights and opportunities for protection.
What does this mean for practitioners and policy makers?
Listen to our first podcast; produced for the Global Development Institute at The University of Manchester on “South Sudan’s decades of displacement: Understanding return and questioning reintegration“.
Based on our research study with the Research and Evidence Facility; this podcast explores the experiences of displacement, return and reintegration among South Sudanese refugees, returnees, and internally displaced persons. Through their stories, and our expert insights and our analysis, we understand key systemic issues and discuss durable solutions for sustainable reintegration.
