This report offers insights into the work of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) initiative. This initiative provides 199 civil service support officers (CSSOs) to South Sudan, where they are twinned with counterparts across many ministries and sectors to rapidly develop core government capacity in a coaching and mentoring scheme. According to the authors, the initiative is a promising and potentially innovative model of triangular co-operation for capacity development for four reasons. After discussing and analyzing these reasons, the report sheds light on possible future phases of the IGAD initiative.
