Peter Justin (born in Yei – Sudan), is a PhD candidate in the ‘Grounding
Land Governance’ Programme, a collaborative effort of the Africa Studies
Centre Leiden, the Faculty of Development Studies of the University of
Science and Technology in Mbarara, Uganda, the Centre for International
Conflict Analysis and Management at the Radboud University, Nijmegen,
Wageningen Disaster Studies, and a series of other institutes and NGOs.
Within this programme, Peter is responsible for the research project in
Southern Sudan. He investigates how land reforms and decentralization on
land governance in Southern Sudan is being implemented in a context
where the state has been largely absent in the past. His research
explores how decentralization develops in the interaction between the
emerging land governance by the state and ongoing local land governance
processes. The project includes a combination of ethnographic and action
researches.
Peter Justin has been involved in a number of action researches in
Southern Sudan under the project “Oil and Peace in Sudan”, a
collaborative project of IKV Pax Christi, The European Coalition on
Sudan and the Sudan Council of Churches. Prior to that, he has been
working for different Research Institutions, including Upper Nile
University in Sudan.
The programme ‘Grounding Land Governance’ is funded by WOTRO Science for
Global Development, a division within NWO, The Netherlands Organisation
for Scientific Research
