 CAPACITY BUILDING FOR POST CONFLICT REINTEGRATION
A distinctive contribution
By means of adequate information sys-
tems and information dissemination,
AAH-I CAPOR supports a peaceful post-
conflict transition and development proc-
ess in Equatoria Region, South Sudan.

strengthen and enhance people’s capacity
to participate in a successful and peace-
ful reintegration to overcome poverty,
disease and violence in the project area -
a distinctive contribution.
The Capacity Building for Post Conflict
Reintegration (CAPOR) project is an ini-
tiative by Action Africa Help-International
(AAH-I) for the South Sudan Programme.
The project started in January 2007. At
present, there are five full time staff imple-
menting the project, in cooperation with the
community, community based organiza-
tions and groups as well as other NGOs.
For its work, CAPOR receives funds
through the Church Development Service
(EED) from the German Federal Ministry
for Economic Cooperation and Develop-
ment (BMZ) under the umbrella of the
Aktions Programm 2015, initiated by the
German Government to contribute to-
wards achieving the Millennium Develop-
ment Goals.
