Abstract

This study titled *United Nations Peacekeeping Force and Management Conflict in South Sudan (2018–2024)* investigates the objectives and effectiveness of UNMISS in fostering peace and addressing the root causes of conflict in South Sudan. The study aimed to (1) assess the mandates of UNMISS, and (2) evaluate its effectiveness in promoting peacebuilding and unity. A mixed-method research design was adopted. The population comprised 3,280 individuals including military, civilian, diplomatic, and humanitarian actors across five regions of South Sudan and Nairobi. A purposive sampling technique was used. Data were collected through structured surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Findings revealed that although awareness of UNMISS’s mandate is high and civilian protection efforts are generally effective, its impact on unity and deep-rooted conflict transformation remains limited. The study concludes that institutional visibility does not equate to transformational success. It recommends greater community engagement, locally driven strategies, and stronger coordination between stakeholders to ensure sustainable peace.
