PREFACE In response to the request from the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS), the Government of Japan decided to conduct the “Juba Urban Transport Infrastructure and Capacity Development Study” and entrusted the Study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched the Study Team headed by Mr. Tsuneo Bekki of CTI Engineering International Co., Ltd. in association with Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. from August 2008 to June 2010. The Study Team held discussions with the officials of the Ministry of Transport and Roads, the Land Commission and other concerned agencies of GOSS as well as the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure of Central Equatoria State (CES), and conducted field surveys, data gathering and analysis, formulation of the Master Plan and Pre-Feasibility Study. In addition, the stakeholders’ meetings were conducted nine times in total to solicit opinions from various actors concerning the Study. Upon returning to Japan, the team prepared this Final Report to summarize the results of the Study. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Southern Sudan and the Central Equatoria State for their close cooperation and help extended to this Study.
