Action for Equality Foundation is a South Sudanese women-led organization advancing gender equality, protection, women’s and girls’ rights, inclusive governance, youth participation, and community-led solutions.
Through community-based programming and partnerships, we support women, young people, and adolescent girls to participate meaningfully in peacebuilding, local governance, and protection initiatives.
Women’s leadership and community peacebuilding
AEF implemented a women-led community dialogue and peacebuilding initiative across Central and Western Equatoria States. The initiative created opportunities for women and community members to participate in dialogue, conflict prevention, and local protection processes.
Key result: Four functional community peace committees were established, providing local platforms for dialogue, conflict prevention, and engagement on issues affecting vulnerable and marginalized groups.
Youth civic engagement and local governance
AEF supported youth-led grassroots coalitions in Central Equatoria and Jonglei States to participate more actively in local governance and decision-making. Through civic engagement and community mobilization, young people engaged in county-level budget planning sessions and raised community priorities with local authorities.
Key result: Youth-led coalitions contributed to county-level budget planning and local governance processes in Central Equatoria and Jonglei States.
