The purpose of this paper is to critically reflect on the Pieri Action Plan for Peace to explore learning to inform the direction of future organisational peace programming in Jonglei State. It does so by drawing on an established Dealing with the Past conceptual framework which has been used in many conflict and post-conflict environments. The Pieri Action Plan for Peace is a peace agreement and a roadmap for the Murle, Lou and Gawaar Nuer, and Dinka communities of Jonglei state, who have suffered the effects of inter-communal violence over decades and had seemed locked in continuous cycles of violence. The paper is structured in two key sections. The first summarises the Dealing with the Past conceptual framework and background to the sub-national engagement of the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund (POF), the second applies the framework to the Pieri Action Plan for Peace.
