It describes itself as nonprofit, non-partisan, neutral and anti-discrimination, and it works on humanitarian and development issues in both rural and urban settings across South Sudan. Its stated vision is a society that is fair, resilient, developed and self-reliant, and it seeks to influence policies, actions and partnerships that improve services, resources and protection for vulnerable people. CIPAD integrates conflict and gender sensitivity into its programming to reduce the risk of harm and to contribute to positive peace. CIPAD's program areas include relief and emergency response, organizational development, access to justice and rule of law, research, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and family planning, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), community security and community policing, peace and community security, food security and livelihoods, peacebuilding, human rights and civic education. The organization presents itself as working with communities, donors, corporate partners and volunteers, and it invites support through grants, corporate social responsibility, payroll contributions, standing orders and donations. It also offers ways to fundraise, partner, share its work and apply for grants. CIPAD is headquartered in Aweil, in the Haisalaam area behind the Aweil Grand Hotel premises, in Aweil Town, Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, Republic of South Sudan. Its contact details list Deng William Makur as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. The organization maintains a website at cipadsouthsudan.org and public email addresses, and it publishes news and statements, including a January 2025 press statement calling on the US government to reconsider a 90-day suspension of US foreign aid, and reports on psychosocial volunteer retreats and trauma awareness and reconciliation workshops in Nyalath, Aweil Centre County. As a civil society organization rather than a commercial company, CIPAD operates in the humanitarian and development sector. Its brand identity is built around partnership, community initiative and development, and its public communications emphasize local ownership, protection of vulnerable people and peacebuilding in South Sudan.
