Moyo
A team comprising representatives from the 12 dioceses of Sweden, in coordination with ACT Church of Sweden, visited Moyo District—one of the pilot areas—on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
The visit aimed at monitoring the implementation of the cross-border peace initiative, which promotes inclusive, peaceful, and sustainable livelihoods in Kajo-Keji (South Sudan) and Northern Uganda.
The project is being implemented by a consortium of partners led by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF).
Speaking during the visit, which was attended by stakeholders from both South Sudan and Uganda, including church leaders from the two countries and members of cross-border peace committees, Lennart Hernander, the Managing Director of ACT Church of Sweden based in Kampala, said this was the first time the team had visited the project on the ground in this capacity.
“This is the first time for us to see the work that ACT Church of Sweden is doing in this capacity,” he noted.
Sharing the history of the project, Drichi James from LWF explained that about five years ago, the late Bishop of the Diocese of Kajo-Keji, Bishop Emmanuel, together with LWF, held discussions that led to the involvement of ACT Church of Sweden—planting what he described as a seed.
James Lulue Keni, the Bishop of the Diocese of Kajo-Keji in Central Equatoria State, Republic of South Sudan, said the project has made significant impact on the two communities.
“This project has done great. From my own observation, the two communities can now relate better. There are many young people from this area who are now in Kajo-Keji riding boda bodas,” the Bishop noted.
The LC5 Chairperson of Moyo District, Anyama Williams, commended the Government and people of Sweden for their humanitarian support and commitment to promoting peace and harmony.
The Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Moyo, Geoffrey Filbert Ocailap, recommended that for lasting peace in the region, especially in South Sudan, partners should design programs that directly encourage the two countries to practically share resources.
