It highlights the failure of the 2018 Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) to explicitly address land within its transitional justice framework. Based on citizen interviews, the report finds a strong preference for restitution over compensation and communal reparations over individual ones. It recommends that the Compensation and Reparations Authority (CRA) be used to address land-related human rights violations and that the government expedite the adoption of a national land policy to resolve conflicting statutory and customary tenure systems.

The MAPS project evaluates citizen trust and satisfaction with the Colombian peace process and state presence in PDET zones.
