The document provides an overview of the CMSI II Project in South Sudan. CMSI I helped draft conflict mitigation plans for each state and built relationships with state governors. CMSI II will build on this by assisting with implementation of plans, capacity building, and supporting Joint Operations Centers. The scope of work includes stabilizing local conflicts, training, and maintaining operations at Joint Operation Centers across South Sudan. Critical success factors are transitioning advisors and creating synergies between organizations supporting the Joint Operation Centers.

1. CMSI II Project Overview
Chris Datta, DCM

2. The Call to Action
 While South Sudan has successfully emerged from
decades of conflict, many issues still exist across the
country
 Each State has its own unique set of conflicts, some of
which are undercurrents, while others are ongoing issues
 It is necessary for a number of actions to take place at the
national level to support conflict mitigation in the states
 One of the obstacles to stabilization is the shortfall in
capacity at state and national levels, and at the Joint
Operating Centers

3. CMSI I Was Instrumental In Setting
the Stage for Nationwide Stabilization
 CMSI I assisted each of the states to draft conflict
mitigation plans and action plans.
 It ensured that states bought into the plans and took
ownership of them
 CMSI I advisors built solid relationships with their
counterparts (largely the Governors of the states)
 Each state program customized a conflict mitigation and
stabilization effort to meet the individual needs of the
state.

4. CMSI II Will Build on the Success of
CMSI I
 The US Government has outfitted CMSI II with an
expanded mandate
 A greater emphasis on capacity building
 Responsibility for JOC maintenance and operations
 Money for training and capacity building
 CMSI II is responsible for assisting the states to develop
mechanisms to implement the plans developed in CMSI I
 CMSI will track its progress towards institutional
development and its impact on conflict

 Task I: Assist South Sudanese authorities at state and
local levels to strengthen and implement state plans
 Task II: Assist and facilitate South Sudanese authorities
at the national level to devise and implement a national
plan
 Task III: Develop and implement stabilization projects to

6. Critical Success Factor I:
Transition
 CMSI II advisors are a mix of highly experience conflict
advisors drafted from other conflict environments and
advisors returning from CMSI I
 CMSI I and CMSI II advisors will work closely to ensure a
smooth transition in states with new advisors
 The project will create a teaming arrangement between
advisors experience in South Sudan specific issues and
advisors with particular technical skills
 The team has already met with the Minister of Interior and
has begun the relationship building process
