Abstract

This study sought to chart the drivers and dynamics of peace in the Sudanese states of Blue Nile and South Kordofan to contextually situate mine action, mitigate risks, and maximise the benefits of mine clearance for communities and humanitarian actors. The findings would inform policy and programming interventions aimed at facilitating immediate humanitarian efforts, improving peace and security, and socio-economic recovery activities for communities returning to cleared lands.

This study was commissioned by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) through the East Africa Research Fund (EARF). The research consortium consisted of SafeLane Gobal, a commercial demining agency; the Policy Institute at King’s College London, a policy research institute; and Mercy Corps Europe, a nongovernmental organisation (NGO).
