However, following epidemiological investigations on 27 May 2015, cases could be traced back to 18 May 2015. Cholera was eventually confirmed on 1 June 2015 after Vibrio cholerae inaba was isolated from the one of five samples tested in the National Public Health Laboratory. Since 6 June 2015, sustained and consistently increasing community transmission has been established with increasingly more suspect cases reported outside UN House PoC. There are three discernable transmission peaks with the initial peak of 15 cases occurring on 13 June 2015 while the subsequent and higher peaks occurred on 20 June and 24 June with 26 and 38 cases respectively (Figure 1).

  • Local Needs and Agency Conflict: a Case Study of Kajo Keji County, Sudan
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 11, Issue 1 | Fall 2009 Local Needs and Agency Conflict: A Case Study of Kajo Keji County, Sudan RANDALL FEGLEY Abstract: During Southern Sudan’s second period of civil war, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provided almost all of the region’s public services and greatly influenced local administration. Refugee movements, inadequate infrastructures, food shortages, accountability issues, disputes and other difficulties overwhelmed both the agencies and newly developed civil authorities. Blurred distinctions between political and humanitarian activities resulted, as demonstrated in a controversy surrounding a 2004 distribution of relief food in Central Equatoria State. Based on analysis of documents, correspondence and interviews, this case study of Kajo Keji reveals many of the challenges posed by NGO activity in Southern Sudan and other countries emerging from long-term instability. Given recurrent criticisms of NGOs in war-torn areas of Africa, agency operations must be appropriately geared to affected populations and scrutinized by governments, donors, recipients and the media. A Critique of NGO Operations Once seen as unquestionably noble, humanitarian agencies have been subject to much criticism in the last 30 years.1 This has been particularly evident in the Horn of Africa. Drawing on experience in Ethiopia, Hancock depicted agencies as bureaucracies more intent on keeping themselves going than helping the poor.2 Noting that aid often allowed despots to maintain power, enrich themselves and escape responsibility, he criticized their tendency for big, wasteful projects using expensive experts who bypass local concerns and wisdom and do not speak local languages. He accused their personnel of being lazy, over-paid, under-educated and living in luxury amid their impoverished clients.
