(Redirected from Naivasha Agreement)The 'Comprehensive Peace Agreement', commonly known as the 'Naivasha Agreement', was a set of agreements culminating in January 2005 that were signed between the
Sudan People's Liberation Movement and the
Government of Sudan. The Naivasha Agreement was meant to end the
Second Sudanese Civil War, develop democratic governance countrywide and share oil revenues. It further set a timetable by which
Southern Sudan would have a referendum on its independence.
The peace process was encouraged by the
Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), as well as IGAD-Partners, a consortium of donor countries. The process resulted in the following agreements:
