Background: The importance of stabilization and community security has been overwhelmingly emphasized by the communities, which are evidenced in the community perception surveys conducted across 124 communities, in 2013 followed by community need assessments in 2015. The communities also felt that unemployed youth have become potential targets for recruitment and they have gravitated towards conflicts and the possession of weapons. This is also largely due to the absence of economic opportunities, availability of small arms and their linkage to the issues of masculinity, spill-over of regional conflicts and continuation of local conflicts over resources. Those who are highly affected with conflict carrying capacities are unemployed youth, IDPs, refugees, returnees, women, and other at-risk groups. This category of people poses a considerable threat and source of instability since they risk being drawn into – and be highly affected by - conflict. However, appropriate and durable interventions will help in stabilizing the areas hosting these populations, contribute to economic revitalization and provide alterative and sustainable livelihoods. The issue of equality of gender and socio-economic empowerment will be given a priority through mobilization of men and women and also launching interventions that could ease the social barriers. In order to promote peace and stability, it is imperative that the above issues are addressed urgently with interventions that can stabilize at-risk and war affected communities in Blue Nile and South Kordofan States as well as fringe areas. This is done through the provision of alternative livelihoods, design of interventions that can stimulate the rural economy through innovative practices involving the communities, promoting graduated small arms control activities, and enhancing the capacities of communities to sustain recovery and stability. To support its initiatives in Sudan in undertaking the preparation, implementation and monitoring work for the Community Security and Stabilization Programme (C2SP), UNDP is seeking State Coordinator.
