The workshop brought together 25 representatives of the Government of Southern Sudan, the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), the African Union, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), civil society and academia. The workshop served to provide a review of the peacebuilding process to date, to identify the roles played and responsibilities held by different actors in the peacebuilding process, to identify challenges which were being encountered, and to generate recommendations for how these challenges could be overcome.
