The state lacks basic infrastructure like roads, health and water facilities. The presence of small arms in the hands of communities as well as competition over natural resources and cattle raiding activities are the main drivers of conflict and cause of insecurity in the state. The Eastern Equatoria Stabilisation Programme (EESP) was designed to overcome these security challenges, and revive the local economy in the remote, underserved, and conflict prone parts of the state. The priorities of EESP included; construction of Lobira‐Chahari‐Lotome‐Kikilay‐Lotukei‐Kanangok road; four county headquarters; one prison with a detainee capacity 200 persons; four water reservoirs with a capacity of 30,000 m³ each, eight human consumption water access points (boreholes) and one water filtration unit. These priorities were identified in consultations with local communities, government and implementing partners. A total of US$23,449,683 was allocated towards the EESP. Construction of 140km of road, four county headquarters; one prison complex, eight boreholes, one water filtration unit and four water reservoirs (locally known as haffirs) was completed and the facilities were handed over to the government. Joint monitoring missions and consultations with local authorities and communities revealed that the outputs contributed to improved security and reduced levels of inter‐communal conflicts in the state. The road enabled government’s access to the remote, underserved and conflict prone areas of Budi and Ikotos counties. Community trade centers were established along the newly constructed road, providing income generating opportunities for local traders. Consultations with communities revealed that the provision of water access points in Kapoeta East and Kapoeta North counties has reduced the distances that communities travel in search of water and also contributed to a reduction in inter‐ communal conflicts over water resources. The EESP facilitated extension of state authority in the four conflict affected counties of Kapoeta North, Kapoeta South, Magwi and Imehejek through the construction of County Headquarters (CHQs). This enabled early management of inter‐communal conflicts. For example, the monthly security meetings held at the CHQs are some of the mechanisms by which local governments assess security situations and take appropriate measures to enhance community security and reduce levels of inter‐ communal conflicts. Insecurity due to inter‐communal fighting and impassable roads during the long rainy season hindered accessibility to the project sites. This increased the cost and led to severe delays in the delivery of programme outputs. Completion of the haffirs was also delayed due to frequent relocation of the construction sites by the government. The violent conflict that erupted on 15 December 2013 led to a deterioration in the security situation that undermined timely delivery of the road output. To mitigate the post‐December 2013 security risks and challenges, UNDP, UNOPS and PACT coordinated with the state government and UNMISS for the provision of armed escort and patrols to access project areas with security challenges. To ensure sufficient time for implementation of construction works at the beginning of the dry season, the projects carried out assessments and tendering of construction projects as well as mobilization of construction materials during the wet season. Page 4 of 27 I. Purpose The Eastern Equatoria Stabilization Programme, funded through Window 1 of Round 3 of the South Sudan Recovery Fund (SSRF), is a UN Joint programme designed to deliver quick impacts for mitigating insecurity and communal violence in the underserved and conflict prone areas of the state. The EESP aims to improve security and reduce level of ethnic conflict in Eastern Equatoria State. The EESP contribute to the UNDAF outcome 4: “Violence is reduced and community security improved”. The participatory consultations and conflict mapping exercises that UNDP facilitated at county and state levels identified

  • The Criminalization of South Sudan's Gold Sector
    The Criminalization of South Sudan’s Gold Sector Kleptocratic Networks and the Gold Trade in Kapoeta By the Enough Project April 2020* A Precious Resource in an Arid Land Within the area historically known as the state of Eastern Equatoria, Kapoeta is a semi-arid rangeland of clay soil dotted with short, thorny shrubs and other vegetation.1 Precious resources lie below this desolate landscape. Eastern Equatoria, along with the region historically known as Central Equatoria, contains some of the most important and best-known sites for artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM). Some estimates put the number of miners at 60,000 working at 80 different locations in the area, including Nanaknak, Lauro (Didinga Hills), Napotpot, and Namurnyang. Locals primarily use traditional mining techniques, panning for gold from seasonal streams in various villages. The work provides miners’ families resources to support their basic needs.2 Kapoeta’s increasingly coveted gold resources are being smuggled across the border into Kenya with the active complicity of local and national governments. This smuggling network, which involves international mining interests, has contributed to increased militarization.3 Armed actors and corrupt networks are fueling low-intensity conflicts over land, particularly over the ownership of mining sites, and causing the militarization of gold mining in the area. Poor oversight and conflicts over the control of resources between the Kapoeta government and the national government in Juba enrich opportunistic actors both inside and outside South Sudan. Inefficient regulation and poor gold outflows have helped make ASM an ideal target for capture by those who seek to finance armed groups, perpetrate violence, exploit mining communities, and exacerbate divisions.

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan condemns killing of an aid worker in Budi, Eastern Equatoria (Juba, 13 May 2021) The Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan, Alain Noudéhou, has condemned the killing of an aid worker in Budi, Eastern Equatoria, and called for authorities and communities to ensure that humanitarian personnel can move safely along roads and deliver assistance to the most vulnerable people. On 12 May, an aid worker was killed when criminals fired at a clearly marked humanitarian vehicle. The vehicle was part of a team of international non-governmental organizations and South Sudanese government health workers traveling to a health facility. The team was driving from Chukudum to Kapoeta in Budi County in an area that has seen several roadside ambushes this year. “I am shocked by this violent act and send my condolences to the family and colleagues of the deceased. The roads are a vital connection between humanitarian organizations and communities in need, and we must be able to move safely across the country without fear,” Mr. Noudéhou said and added: “I call on the Government to strengthen law enforcement along these roads.” This is the first aid worker killed in South Sudan in 2021. In 2020, nine aid workers were killed. *** Note to editors To learn more about humanitarian access in South Sudan, see the first quarterly access snapshot of 2021 here: https://bit.ly/3dZQtGw For further information, please contact: Emmi Antinoja, Head of Communications and Information Management, +211 92 129 6333 [email protected] Anthony Burke, Public Information Officer, +211 92 240 6014 and [email protected] OCHA press releases are available at www.unocha.org/south-sudan or www.reliefweb.int.

  • Southern Tanzania Pas Proposal To
    PROJECT DOCUMENT Republic of Uganda United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Threatened Savanna Woodland in the Kidepo Critical Landscape in North Eastern Uganda GEFSEC PROJECT ID: 4456; GEF AGENCY ID: PIMS 4592; AWARD ID: 00072558; PROJECT ID: 00085611 1 Brief Description: The Government of Uganda has made significant investments in most protected areas (PAs) in the country. However, the Kidepo Critical Landscape of North Eastern Uganda, encompassing eight protected areas under a range of management authorities received limited investment over the past 20 years due to protracted conflict, and proportionately suffer from lower management effectiveness compared to other sites. The long-term solution proposed by this project is to strengthen the national system of protected areas in Uganda by improving the management effectiveness of protected areas in the Kidepo Critical landscape in the North Eastern part of the country, thus affording biodiversity sufficient protection from emerging and future threats. This can be achieved through providing planned, targeted and effective support to the operational capacity of core PAs within the landscape and through creating a coordinated landscape management approach in the KCL to serve as a shield against human-induced pressures on Uganda’s threatened biodiversity. This proposed project in the Kidepo Critical Landscape of PAs and buffer zones in northern Uganda satisfies the requirements for GEF financing under GEF Biodiversity Focal Area, Strategic Objective one: Improve sustainability of Protected Area systems. The project will directly bring 416,485 ha of land under strengthened PA management arrangements designed to conserve biodiversity, involving three different forms of PA Status (NP, CFR and CWA) as well as public lands, with a wider positive influence on an additional 239,215 ha of dispersal areas.
