An Uncertain Return: Ockenden International Report (webpage)
The UK-based NGO Ockenden International has worked in Sudan and with Sudanese refugees for many years. This report documents the 'current and potential impact of displaced people returning to Southern Sudan'. Based on research conducted in Western Equatoria following the peace agreement, it explores the effect of significant numbers of returning refugees on an area with limited infrastructure and resources and the likely challenges this raises for the local communities, NGOs and the returnees themselves.
