Objectives and Activities
Challenges
In spite of recent progress in
building a network of correspondents, North America (USA and Canada)
and Australia remain the biggest challenge yet for the Gurtong Peace
Trust Project. Luckily, Gurtong name and activities are already
known to and respected by many among the Diaspora communities in
North America and Australia.
Most of them see Gurtong as it
is: neutral and dedicated to communicating peaceful information.
Gurtong can serve, not only as a link among South Sudanese in the
Diaspora but also as a link of the Diaspora to Home organisations
and families.
The Diaspora experience will be
replicated for the burgeoning local NGOs and civil society organisation
back home. In co-ordination with the home-based local NGOs and civil
society organisation, the Gurtong Peace Project will have to work
even harder during the interim period to provide credible and timely
information about the progress and resettlement of externally and
internally displaced individuals and families.
Over all, the project will focus
on and champion publicity of positive contributions to peace and
development by home and regionally based local and international
NGOs as well as contributions by the South Sudanese Diaspora.
