The session will highlight lessons learned from previous peace processes in Sudan, as well as the implications of those lessons on the ongoing process (including the Juba Peace Agreement and beyond).

This introductory event will draw on PSRP’s work and partnership to offer key insights and learnings from the PeaceTech team at the University of Edinburgh, including:

What is PeaceTech? How can technology help facilitate inclusive peace, and what is the new potential regarding data analysis?
Data on peace processes: What are the new possibilities for data collection, analysis, and connectivity: what can we do with data on peace and conflict now that we couldn’t do 10 years ago?
What types of interdisciplinary and research-practice-tech teams are needed to produce effective PeaceTech projects?
What lessons have we learned about designing an effective collaborative PeaceTech project in the ‘data’ space?
