The following report is the result of two months of intense primary and secondary research by a small, dedicated team. Primary research for this report was drawn from an information-gathering mission to Juba in which the team met with representatives of UN, NGOs and GoSS institutions in Juba and then numerous weeks spent researching in local communities in Western Equatoria State in southern Sudan. The team included representatives from World Vision offices in Sudan and Canada. The research process was led by Sophie Gordon (research consultant). Her dedication to conducting all research activities within an extremely short time frame is deeply appreciated. Furthermore, the technical guidance and insights into the complexities of the LRA issue in southern Sudan provided by Carrie Vandewint were invaluable. Additional support was given by Emmanuel Manza and Stefan Lehmeier, both with World Vision Southern Sudan.
