In attendance were the State Government officials, civil society, parliament, national and international organizations and partners. Among the Delegates included the National Finance, Commerce, Investment and Economic Planning Ministry Director for Aid Coordination, Mr. Moses Mabior Dau who dislcosed that the Government is conducting seminars in the states in order to enable it collect essential information on what the new deal compact will appear. He explained that the new deal, a global reform initiative, seeking out to hasten development progress in the fragile and conflict affected states and it is a joint understanding between the Government of South Sudan and the international Community to enhance Partnership in the next three years. The leader of the yesterday’s high profile delegation, Toby Lanzer, who is also the Deputy Special Representative of Secretary General for United Nations Mission in South Sudan, commented that development does not happen suddenly or overnight but it takes some time to build which includes peace building efforts with real patience. “It is long terms process. The Country’s citizens should not lose hope in the process of building,” he said. He explained to participants that in the spirit of the New Deal, the government of South Sudan should be in the driver’s seat to implement projects and programs aided by development partners. To encourage ownership of the New Deal Compact in South Sudan the Government has initiated a wide consultation process. In his opening remarks, Eastern Equatoria State Governor Louis Lobong Lojore said South Sudan thanked the donor community for the initiative as he concurred rating South Sudan as the fragile State despite its independence. Describing it as right decision that comes at the right time in the Republic of South Sudan, the governor said the new deal signed by South Sudan and donor’s community is the right move. He noted that for the new deal Compact to succeed, people need to shift away from what he terms as conventional development approach. The National Director for Aid coordination who was the main facilitator during the consultation processes explained that South Sudan was embarking on a document that sets out the overall objective, general principles and modalities for an improved and more effective partnership with development partners.

(Back to Top) U.S aids South Sudanese flood victims Sudantribune.com Juba, 30/09/2013- The United States government has provided assistance worth $200,000 to flood victims in South Sudan’s states of Northern Bahr El Ghazal, Lakes, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Warrap and Unity. This immediate contribution, its embassy in Juba said, is in addition to the $60m it has so far given to the country as part of the rapid response fund for this year’s humanitarian assistance. Since 15 September, the foreign disaster assistance department of its aid arm (USAID) has reportedly provided nearly $65,000 in Rapid Response Funds (RRF) to AWODA, a local NGO for emergency latrines, bathing shelters, and hygiene promotion benefiting about 7,800 flood-affected people in Northern Bahr el Ghazal. Funds worth $128,520, it further disclosed, have also been provided to another NGO, THESO, to undertake hygiene promotion and latrine rehabilitation at existing health clinics in response to flooding in Gogrial East and Tonj North counties of Warrap. “The U.S. Government will continue to evaluate the situation and look at other ways to offer support as and if needed,” it assured in the statement. Persistent floods, a government report showed, affected over 200,000 people, with Unity state said to be the worst-hit region. Others are Upper Nile, Jonglei, Northern Bahr el Gazal Warrap and some parts of Central Equatoria. (Back to Top) Flood affects over 22 thousand households in Tonj South Don Bosco Radio Tonj, 30/09/2013-Relief and Rehabilitation Commission Deputy County Secretary said floods affected 22,890 households in Tonj South County of Warrap State. Asunta Adhieu said the affected people need urgent help of food and shelters, Don Bosco Radio reported. She explained that the most affected places were in Tonj, Manyangok, Wanalel, Thiet, and Jack Payams. Ms Adhieu said they found that floods destroyed many houses in five payams and Bomas of Greater Tonj. She said people of Malual-Mock and Mabior-Yar Bomas were displaced to the road while those of Jack Payam took refuge in Thiet Payam. Ms Adhieu appealed to the state government and NGOs to help the victims with food, medicines, mosquito nets and shelters. She urged the state government, international and national NGOs to urgently rescue the worsening situation of flood affected people. Ms Adhieu advised parents and guardians to take care of their children from water because water levels were increasing everyday. (Back to Top) South Sudan: Polio hits two South Sudan States Voice of America Juba,30/09/2013- South Sudan health officials have declared a national health emergency and launched an emergency polio vaccination campaign after three cases of the disease were reported in Northern Bahr al Ghazal and Eastern Equatoria states. Two girls, aged two and eight, in Aweil South county, Northern Bahr el Ghazal state, and a two-year-old girl in Ikotos county, in Eastern Equatoria, were confirmed as having polio by the Kenya Medical Research Institute in Nairobi on Sept. 26. 3 Prior to the three cases, South Sudan had been polio-free for about four years, with an outbreak last reported in 2009. Health ministry undersecretary Makur Matur Koryom said the girls' health is being monitored closely. The government has started vaccination campaigns in the regions the girls live in to try to curb the spread of the disease, and will extend the vaccination exercise to the entire country over the next three months, Koryom said. The head of World Health Organization's (WHO) Expanded Program on Immunization, Dr Yehia Mostafah, said WHO will work with the South Sudanese government to end polio in the country, and hailed progress made so far in running mass vaccination campaigns in South Sudan. "In the last four years we improved our routine vaccination system from only 16 percent coverage to more than 54 percent, which is huge, just taking into consideration the situation we are in, in South Sudan, all the austerity measures, all the problems, insecurity, flooding, everything that we are suffering," he said. Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks a person's nervous system and quickly causes paralysis. It can be spread through tainted water and other drinks, uncooked food, and by coming into contact with faeces contaminated with the virus. Medical authorities in South Sudan have been on high alert for cases of the disease after an outbreak in Somalia in May quickly spread to Kenya and Ethiopia. A global effort to eradicate polio, which was launched in 1988, has been hugely successful, with vaccination campaigns helping to reduce the number of cases worldwide by more than 99 percent and saving more than 10 million children from paralysis. When the eradication campaign was launched 25 years ago, polio was endemic in 125 countries and about 350,000 people, most of them young children, were paralyzed by the disease every year. Today, polio remains endemic in just three countries-Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan- and fewer than 250 cases were reported in 2012, down from 650 cases in 2011. Experts believe that polio can be wiped out by 2018, which would make it will be only the second disease to be eradicated after smallpox. (Back to Top) Over $ 180 million committed to transforming primary health delivery in South Sudan Gurtong Juba, 01/10/ 2013 –More than $ 180 million has been committed to transforming primary health delivery and supporting capacity in health ministries in the South Sudan Health Pooled Fund.

UNTAPPED AND UNPREPARED: DIRTY DEALS THREATEN SOUTH SUDAN’S MINING SECTOR TheSentry.org Executive Summary South Sudan’s mining sector has seen rapid development in recent years, and preliminary reports suggest that the industry could become an engine for major economic growth. However, ineffective accountability mechanisms, an opaque corporate landscape, and inadequate due diligence have exposed the sector to abuse by bad actors within South Sudan’s ruling clique. The Sentry has found that existing laws have proven insufficient bulwarks against abuse, raising concerns that the country’s mineral wealth could do little more than spur the kind of violent competition that has ravaged the oil sector. Although South Sudan took welcome steps to reform the mining sector in 2012, some government officials, their relatives, and their close associates have fostered a weak regulatory environment susceptible to exploitation. In one example of how the privileged few have apparently exploited kleptocratic arrangements, President Salva Kiir’s daughter partly owns a company with three active licenses, while another company with three licenses lists former Vice President James Wani Igga’s son as a shareholder. Ashraf Seed Ahmed Hussein Ali, a businessman commonly known as Al-Cardinal who was placed under Global Magnitsky sanctions in October 2019, reportedly owns the company currently holding the greatest number of licenses.1 In the gold-rich region of Kapoeta, state government officials have begun issuing licenses independently of the central government.

  • Factors Hindering Didinga Women's
    Didinga Women & Development All levels of government shall…enact laws to combat harmful customs and tradi- tions which undermine the dignity and status of women Women shall be accorded full and equal dignity of the person with men Women shall have the right to participate equally with men in public life. Article 16, the Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan, 2011, Factors hindering Didinga Women’s Contribution to Development Hellen Nauren Atiol September 2014 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts in Development and Emergency Practice Centre for Development and Emergency Practice Oxford Brookes University Abstract The significance for gender equality and women’s empowerment is supported with the fact that all individuals deserve to live a life of their own choosing supported with all the basic rights. Increasing women’s agency so that they have the ability to make their own choices can contribute to economic efficiency and the achievement of key development out- comes. This research demonstrates how external factors such as conflict and insecurity, weak governance and poverty, coupled with internal factors rooted in cultural values enforced by the patriarchal dominance completely disempowers the Didinga women of South Sudan and affects their potential of effective contribution towards development. The study is based on an empirical form of qualitative research, carried out through in- formal interviews with the Didinga women in various regions of Budi County, located in Eastern Equatoria South Sudan, where participants reveal the perception and attitude towards women taking a more active and aggressive role towards change in the community.

  • 1 State-Building in Borderlands: Some “Equatorian” Responses to the SPLM/A Directed Order in Southern Sudan Aleksi Ylönen U
    State-Building in Borderlands: Some “Equatorian” Responses to the SPLM/A Directed Order in Southern Sudan Aleksi Ylönen University of Bayreuth Draft Paper for Sudanese Borderlands Workshop Durham University 18-20 April 2011 1. Introduction In January 2005 the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) brought the conflict in southern Sudan to its formal conclusion. The ending of the rebellion marked a new era for the region that had long been marginalized by the central governments in Khartoum. According to the CPA, southern Sudan was granted a semi-autonomous position under the regional Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) along with a possibility to exercise the right of self-determination in the final year of a six-year interim period (2005-2011). However, although the CPA treats southern Sudan homogeneously as one region, its cultural, ethnic, and geographic diversity hardly adhere to such assumption. The southernmost part of southern Sudan, bordering Central and East African states, is historically the home of a number of ethnic groups generally referred to as “Equatorians”. These peoples not only share a long and complex relationship with each other but also with their counterparts from other areas of southern Sudan, which involves different views on political regionalism and self- determination. The GoSS was formed by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) which was the main rebel movement during the war in southern Sudan in 1983-2005. However it being an organization largely based on the Dinka and Nuer ethnic groups, created an uneasy situation among many “Equatorians”, many of whom had fought the SPLM/A, stayed in government held areas, or fled during the rebellion.

  • Asserting Control Over Natural Resources in South Sudan
    OIL BELONGS TO THE SOUTH, ‘LAND BELONGS TO THE COMMUNITY’: ASSERTING CONTROL OVER NATURAL RESOURCES IN SOUTH SUDAN Emily SAVAGE Department of Geography McGill University, Montreal Submitted August 2014 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (MA) Geography. © Emily Savage 2014 ! 1 ABSTRACT After more than two decades of civil war, southern Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011. The relationship between Sudan and newly independent South Sudan has been marked by tension as both states manage rapid political, social, and economic transition that has been brought on by the split. Recognizing that oil and land have contributed significantly to the cause and continuation of earlier conflict, addressing natural resources in an equitable and sustainable manner is key to maintaining peace in the region. Yet, since independence, there has been an ongoing struggle between the South and the North regarding oil transport and claims of land grabbing have further compromised the ‘new direction’ of the state. This thesis grapples with the challenges to natural resource management in South Sudan in the post-independence period, specifically oil and land. In particular, it examines the contradictions between economic and political objectives of Southern oil pipelines and explores connections between natural resources and state sovereignty in South Sudan. Furthermore, it examines localized land resource management challenges in the context of returnees, insecurity and the policy of ‘land belongs to the community’, where community rights to land trump other interests to the land. While rapid reform and nationalistic discourse surrounding natural resources can be expected during the process of state formation, I argue that certain narratives that have emerged regarding natural resource sovereignty and customary land access present certain practical challenges in the immediate term – risking long-term political consequences.

    Tribute To Isaiah Abraham Compiled By of Liberation The PAANLUEL WËL Dark [email protected] Ages http://paanluelwel2011.wordpress.com/ Isaiah Abraham in his own words AU force extension in Darfur, a victory to NCP not to SPLM By Isaiah Abraham* Mar 14, 2006 The drama that led to the extension of African Peacekeeping Forces in Darfur has nothing to do with the Sudan as a whole or SPLM as a party as propagated by those who are against the marginalized people of the Sudan. Darfur is bleeding and should have been saved. The man at the helm of this ‘victory’ is none other than Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin, the Sudanese Foreign Minister from the SPLM Party. Although it is not that easy to satisfy all interests in a coalition the least an astute politician could do or could have done was to compromise not his/her fall back base, no matter the enticement or attraction the players in that political scene. The Minister went out full blast to contradict his boss, President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his colleague in the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) Mama Rebecca de Mabior. President Salva was unequivocally pressed that NCP partner is not serious in its willingness to resolve Darfur crisis. Did anybody hear the President or other Southern politicians or the Southern public unease about UN peacekeeping forces intervention in Darfur? Where there demonstrations in the Southern cities in condemnation of the United States or the United Nations or Jan Pronk? Certainly there weren’t and there will not be any protest against presence of UN in any part of the Sudan.
