This CSRF discussion paper is intended to support policy makers, programme designers, donors, and managers with theory and proposed objectives that can be used to integrate greater adaptation into humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding programmes in South Sudan. The paper builds on CSRF support to stakeholders within the Partnership for Peacebuilding, Resilience and Recovery (PfPRR) to understand and act on options for building adaptive management approaches into the partnership’s approach. Aiming to engage a wider audience, the CSRF has adapted the original options paper to be relevant for the aid sector in South Sudan more broadly.
