Conflict refers to all kinds of opposition with different value structures and often manifests itself in war. Well-managed conflict can help people solve their problems confidentially, strengthen relationships and increase commitment to constructive organization. Intra-state conflicts are often greed- or grievance-led; such is the conflict in South Sudan, Africa’s youngest nation. 1 South Sudan National Dialogue Document Number One October 2017. Available at: https://www.ssnationaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/DOCUMENT-NO1.pdf 5 1.4 Grass-Roots Consultations Launch: Day One: 4 December 2017 1.5 Consultative Meeting with Members of the Executive and Legislature at the State General Secretariat Hall Hon. James Chacha Konyi–PiborState, Member of Parliament The Hon. James Chacha Konyi-PiborState Member of Parliament said he was delighted, and praised H.E. the president Salva Kiir Mayardiit for launching the National Dialogue initiative. He further stated that the National Dialogue is the only way to bring a sustainable and long-lasting peace to the country and to save the nation from disintegration. In his opinion, people must adhere tonormal democratic practices and principles (rules) and that the president should be changed through ballot boxes in a general election instead of through a resort to arms or rebellion, as Dr Riek Machar did in 2013, which turned the country into civil war. Hon. Chacha stated that at the national level, the cabinet is not equally representative of the 64 ethnic groups of South Sudan. He said that one ethnic group (Dinka) dominates the cabinet and that qualified and competent people from the 32 states should be represented in the national cabinet. He also stressed that some ministers, once appointed, want to stay in their office for life and do not want to give others a chance. He went further, saying that national wealth is not being properly or equitably shared. Boma state is completely neglected because the national government sends nothing to Boma state in terms of wealth or resources sharing (e.g. Boma state has no trunk, all-season or feeder roads to address insecurity problems in the state). Rampant child abduction is among the many results of this neglect. He suggested that the Pibor-Juba, Bor, Gumruk-Pibor roads, Pibor-Pochalla, Pibor-Lekuangole feeder roads, and Pibor-Akobo roads be constructed with urgency. As things stand, Pibor Airstrip is the only means of supplying the state with basic commodities. Furthermore, he said the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) should be restructured and properly reorganized or trained and that each state should be given a properly equipped and trained army division. Hon. Olul Akol Kuach, Minister of Agriculture Pibor The Hon. Olul Akol Kuach, Minister of Agriculture Pibor, said that when appointing people to political positions, nepotism and tribalism are the major practices instead of following party structure. He said that there should be a two – to - three-term limit for president of South Sudan in order to give a chance 6 to others who want to run for president. He recognized that Boma state is isolated and that there are no roads or bridges on rivers during the rainy season (people travel on foot and by canoe during flooding). The distance from Pibor to Pochalla is 75miles, from Pibor to Akobo is 80 miles and from Pibor to Bor is 120 miles. Pibor-Juba, Pibor-Boma. Hon. Simon Lewa, Acting Speaker for Pibor State Assembly Hon. Simon Lewa, Acting Speaker for Pibor State Assembly, said that the random arrests of people by national security in Juba bring fear countrywide. He noted that tribalism is the country’s major problem and that for the country to survive or to come out of crisis, tribalism needs to be handled very seriously (for example if the president wants to issue a decree he has to go back and consult with his Dinka community as his advisers). He noted that during the struggle, “we used to call ourselves ‘comrades’”, but now it goes back to the Jieng Council of Elders as the main spoiler; for South Sudan to survive, this body needs to be immediately dissolved or disbanded immediately.

It does not necessarily reflect the policy positions of the organization. The views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily those of the individual organizations. www.oxfam.org This study was conducted with funding from the Danish International Development Agency (Danida) provided specifically to prepare for the launch of Oxfam education projects in Pibor and Juba in South Sudan. However, its findings will also be useful to the wider NGO community working in the country, with recommendations provided for the Government of South Sudan and for future programming by donors. The analysis focuses specifically on education, but it also aims to analyse gendered power relations between men and women and boys and girls and the differences in their roles and responsibilities, decision-making power, the barriers and constraints they face and their coping mechanisms, along with the specific needs and concerns of girls and boys both in and out of school and gendered vulnerabilities and differential access to education in the locations selected. The analysis concludes with a set of recommendations to ensure that agencies can move forward in a way that meaningfully addresses the gender inequalities that prevent access to their programmes for women, men, boys and girls. 2 Education-focused gender analysis case studies: Pibor and Juba, South Sudan TABLE OF CONTENTS ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS ..........................................................................................
