Unlike many post-conflict countries, Southern Sudan is richly endowed with natural resources. It starts with considerable wealth from oil, and a broad base of potential export or growth sectors including hydroelectric power, metallic and non-metallic mining, natural gum/resins, cotton, oil seeds, tourism, medicinal plants, fisheries, tobacco, coffee, tea, leather and horticulture. In order to move away from dependency on oil revenues, diversification in economic activit ies is , however, essential in order for development to be sustainable . Southern Sudan must unleash its potential if it is to fully realise the peace dividend. Objective of this research The main goal of this first-phase field research of the wider research into PPC opportunities for socio- economic development in fragile states was to identify the local needs and possibilities for this development through Public Private Cooperation (PPC) in Southern Sudan. This report therefore concentrates on the local dynamics of PPC between the GoSS, the local private sector and Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in which any future PPC interventions should be embedded, if they are to be effective and sustainable. The outcome of this research feeds into the second phase research, which builds upon these results, and further assesses potential PPC modalities, including the potential involvement of Dutch companies and the Dutch Government. Therefore, this report was not intended to be a stand-alone and final product, as its main purpose was to inform the second phase research team on the realities on the ground in Southern Sudan. The specific objectives of this Public -Private Cooperation (PPC) field research were 1) to determine the potential for fair and sustainable economic development in Southern Sudan, with Central and Western Equatoria states as research areas, 2) to explore if PPC can play a role in this development and 3) to examine how PPC should be set up in order to contribute to conflict transformation and peace. This report and its main findings summarised below, contain the results of this research which was conducted in February and March 2009. Economic development in South Sudan There are numerous ongoing economic activities in Southern Sudan and there is enormous potential for (fair and sustainable) economic development in various sectors. However, economic development is challenged by the lack of capital, technology, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled labour and business know-how and in general a weak capacity of all private and public economic actors. Nevertheless, Southern Sudan provides many business opportunities, especially in the production of agricultural products and (semi-)manufactured goods , most of which are currently being imported from Uganda, Kenya and North Sudan. However, the development of these business opportunities should preferably be done in the framework of a PPC in order to safeguard fair and sustainable economic development, with the ultimate aim of contributing to durable peace. The following sectors have, among others, high potential for economic development in the short and medium term, and are potentially interesting to be developed

    Population Mobility Mapping (Pmm) South Sudan: Ebola Virus Disease (Evd) Preparedness

    POPULATION MOBILITY MAPPING (PMM) SOUTH SUDAN: EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE (EVD) PREPAREDNESS CONTEXT The 10th EVD outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is still ongoing, with a total of 3,428 EVD cases reported as of 2 February 2020, including 3,305 confirmed and 118 probable cases. A total of 2,250 deaths have been reported, with a case fatality ratio (CFR) of 65.6%. Although the rate of new cases in DRC has decreased and stabilized, two health zones reported 25 new confirmed cases within the 21-day period from 13 January to 2 February 2019: Beni (n=18) and Mabalako (n=30).1 The EVD outbreak in DRC is the 2nd largest in history and is affecting the north-eastern provinces of the country, which border Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan. South Sudan, labeled a 'priority 1' preparedness country, has continued to scale up preparedeness efforts since the outbreak was confirmed in Kasese district in South Western Uganda on 11 June 2019 and in Ariwara, DRC (70km from the South Sudan border) on 30 June 2019. South Sudan remains at risk while there is active transmission in DRC, due to cross-border population movements and a weak health system. To support South Sudan’s Ministry of Health and other partners in their planning for EVD preparedness, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has applied its Population Mobility Mapping (PMM) approach to inform the prioritization of locations for preparedness activities. Aim and Objectives The aim of PMM in South Sudan is to inform the 2020 EVD National Preparedness Plan by providing partners with relevant information on population mobility and cross-border movements.

The most recent VAS represents IOM’s largest effort to date encompassing 30 priority counties comprising of 871 bomas, 197 payams, 468 health facilities, and 1,277 primary schools. There was a particular emphasis on assessing payams outside state capitals, where com- paratively fewer comprehensive assessments have been carried out. IOM conducted the assess- ment in priority counties where an estimated 72% of the returnee population (based on esti- mates as of 2012) has resettled. The county atlas provides spatial data at the boma level and should be used in conjunction with the VAS county profile.

    Mining in South Sudan: Opportunities and Risks for Local Communities

    » REPORT JANUARY 2016 MINING IN SOUTH SUDAN: OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF SMALL-SCALE AND ARTISANAL GOLD MINING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EQUATORIA STATES, SOUTH SUDAN MINING IN SOUTH SUDAN FOREWORD We are delighted to present you the findings of an assessment conducted between February and May 2015 in two states of South Sudan. With this report, based on dozens of interviews, focus group discussions and community meetings, a multi-disciplinary team of civil society and government representatives from South Sudan are for the first time shedding light on the country’s artisanal and small-scale mining sector. The picture that emerges is a remarkable one: artisanal gold mining in South Sudan ‘employs’ more than 60,000 people and might indirectly benefit almost half a million people. The vast majority of those involved in artisanal mining are poor rural families for whom alluvial gold mining provides critical income to supplement their subsistence livelihood of farming and cattle rearing. Ostensibly to boost income for the cash-strapped government, artisanal mining was formalized under the Mining Act and subsequent Mineral Regulations. However, owing to inadequate information-sharing and a lack of government mining sector staff at local level, artisanal miners and local communities are not aware of these rules. In reality there is almost no official monitoring of artisanal or even small-scale mining activities. Despite the significant positive impact on rural families’ income, the current form of artisanal mining does have negative impacts on health, the environment and social practices. With most artisanal, small-scale and exploration mining taking place in rural areas with abundant small arms and limited presence of government security forces, disputes over land access and ownership exacerbate existing conflicts.

Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014.
