The Creating Safer Space project ‘Understanding Community-level Spontaneous Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP): A Comparative Study of Initiatives in South Sudan, Myanmar and Colombia’ has published a policy brief, Unarmed Civilian Protection: Comparative Insights from Colombia, Myanmar, and South Sudan. This comparative policy brief explores how local communities engage in UCP and what lessons learned from existing UCP activities may, and may not, be transferable across conflict contexts. It focuses on the activities of local community actors in Nariño, Colombia; Central Myanmar, Kachin and Chin State in Myanmar; and Juba (Central Equatoria) and Rumbek (Lakes State) in South Sudan.
