Viable Support to Transition and Stability (VISTAS)

The program builds on AECOMs South Sudan Transition and Conflict Mitigation program, which began in 2009 and supported political and peace processes leading up to, and following, South Sudans 2011 independence from the Republic of Sudan.

VISTAS is designed to strengthen citizens confidence and capacity to address the causes and consequences of political conflict, violence and instability.

AECOM will provide USAID with creative and flexible citizen-driven solutions that build government capacity to prevent, respond to and mitigate conflict; facilitate citizen participation in political and peace processes; and engage youth and other vulnerable groups in productive social and economic activities.

Using small, in-kind grants, VISTAS will support the efforts of local, regional and international stakeholders working to achieve these objectives.
