Reports and Articles

The Center for Development Initiative (CDI) regularly publishes reports and articles that document the progress, challenges, and impacts of its programs across South Sudan. These pieces cover various sectors where CDI is active, such as food security and livelihood support, peacebuilding, youth economic empowerment, gender-based violence prevention, and community protection. Through these reports and stories, readers can learn how the organization works directly with communities to provide farming tools and seeds to returnees, facilitate peace dialogues to foster social cohesion, and equip young entrepreneurs with skills and opportunities for economic participation. These articles often include real examples of activities and reflections on broader issues facing women, children, and vulnerable groups in areas like Lakes, Central and Eastern Equatoria, Warrap, Jonglei, and Northern Bahr el Ghazal states. 

Having a dedicated section or page for reports and articles serves several important purposes. It increases transparency and accountability by showing donors, partners, and the public how resources are being used and what outcomes are being achieved. This helps build trust and credibility, which can be crucial for securing further support and partnerships. Additionally, these reports function as a knowledge-sharing platform, enabling stakeholders—including policymakers, other NGOs, and community leaders—to learn from CDI’s experiences, adopt effective practices, and strengthen collaborative efforts for development and peace in South Sudan. Finally, by highlighting impact stories and research insights, the page also raises awareness about ongoing social challenges and the importance of sustained humanitarian and development work in the region.
