South Sudan Peace and Reconciliation Commission (SSPRC) with support from UNDP held a 4-day training and revitalization for the reconstituted County Peace Response Mechanism (CPRM) and training on the use of Mobile Application (Alert me) for conflict early warning and response.

The participants gained skills on how to use the Mobile Application to report conflict alerts from their different areas for early response by the local authorities. Participant’s understanding of conflict early warning, data collection analysis and reporting was also enhanced.
“What we have so far learnt from this training is really going to help the people of Kajo Keji. With this training and the Mobile Application, we’re going to reach places where we never reached before. This will simplify my work and I am certain that Kajo Keji will be peaceful again.” Evans Pere Amos, Director of Peace Commission Kajo Keji County.
Hon Fanuel Dumo, The commissioner Kajo-Keji County in his speech during the closing ceremony urged the CPRMs to go and make better use of the knowledge they have acquired from the training. ‘’Go and implement the knowledge and feed the office of the commissioner with the conflict early warnings. The office of the commissioner will be open for organized groups like yours.” Says the Commissioner.
