Well, if south Sudan becomes independent, which is a big if, it could become a client for the peace-building commission. But there are also other configurations being discussed right now. I don't know if you're aware of the initiative on early recovery and stabilization, but there are various configurations being shipped right now. The peace-building commission is only one of them. This would need a serious discussion to look at what's most appropriate for south Sudan, and also a discussion with the south Sudanese authorities. If they are a client of the peace-building commission, then it means they will get money for what I call “politically incorrect” activities; for example, DDR, SSR, and so on. But at the same time, most of the post-conflict countries don't want to be under political scrutiny, and the peace-building commission is an instrument that keeps governments under scrutiny.
