  • 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.

  • South Sudan Crop Watch Updated to 2Nd Dekad of July 2015
    South Sudan Crop Watch Updated to 2nd dekad of July 2015 Disclaimer: The authors of the working paper would like to acknowledge the technical difficulties in conducting this analysis within a highly complex context. This report provides a first step in understanding the status of food crops in South Sudan. The information and views set out in this working paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of FAO. In Greater Equatoria, production prospects for first season crops to be harvested in August/September are mixed, due to dry weather conditions affecting several areas. Planted area severely reduced in most conflict-affected counties due to worsening security conditions and massive displacement. This document aims to periodically provide a general outlook on the condition of food crops in South Sudan. The analysis is based on several remote sensing products, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Vegetation Health Index (VHI) and, in particular, the FAO Agricultural Stress Index (ASI)1. The peculiarity of ASI is to focus on water stress specifically in agricultural areas, while other remote sensing products cover vegetation and rainfall across the country. The information from satellite imagery is then cross-checked with evidence from the field – e.g. crop planting and harvest assessments - along with data on rainfall amounts provided by several automatic weather stations and rain gauges located across the country. The lack of long-term series of rainfall data as well as problems to access information in most conflict-affected areas limit the depth of the analysis.

  • Report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights On
    A/HRC/28/49 Advance Unedited Version Distr.: General 9 March 2015 Original: English Human Rights Council Twenty-eighth session Agenda items 2 and 10 Annual report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and reports of the Office of the High Commissioner and the Secretary-General Technical assistance and capacity-building Report on the human rights situation in South Sudan Report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights* Summary The present report is submitted pursuant to the Human Rights Council resolution 26/31, requesting the High Commissioner for Human Rights to monitor the human rights situation in South Sudan and to report thereon to the Council at its twenty-eighth session, with recommendations on technical assistance measures, including on human rights education, to overcome challenges in the areas of security, accountability and transitional justice. This report was prepared in cooperation with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), and covers the period from 15 August to 15 December 2014. At the Council’s twenty-seventh session in September 2014, the High Commissioner submitted a report on the situation of human rights in South Sudan covering the period from 8 May to 8 August 2014. The situation of human rights in South Sudan remained of serious concern during the reporting period. Civilians continued to bear the brunt of the ongoing armed conflict and of their leaders’ failure to stop the fighting. While the scale and severity of the conflict declined, the numbers of civilians displaced across the country has continued to rise, with no likelihood that people will be able to return to their homes soon.

  • Humanitarian Situation Monitoring Central and Eastern Equatoria States - South Sudan April - September 2020
    Humanitarian Situation Monitoring Central and Eastern Equatoria States - South Sudan April - September 2020 Introduction Map 1: REACH assessment coverage of the CES and EES, April (A), June (B) and September The second (Q2) and third (Q3) quarter of 2020, were largely defined by restricted cross-border (C) 2020 and inter-state movement as a COVID-19 preventive measure, climatic changes, and pockets of insecurity, as well as continuing currency depreciation and rising prices on the market. These A B developments have likely continued to drive humanitarian needs across Central Equatoria State (CES) and Eastern Equatoria State (EES). As insufficient regular assessments are conducted in these regions due to access and resource constraints, limited accurate information is available to humanitarian actors to inform their response. To inform humanitarian actors, REACH has conducted assessments of hard-to-reach areas in South Sudan since December 2015. Data is collected on a monthly basis through interviews with key informants with knowledge of a settlement. This Situation Overview uses this data to analyse changes in observed humanitarian needs across CES and EES in the second and third quarter of 2020. Methodology C To provide an indicative overview of the situation in hard-to-reach areas of Central and Eastern Equatoria States, REACH conducts interviews with key informants (KIs) who have recently arrived from, recently visited, or receive regular information from a settlement or “Area of Knowledge” (AoK). Information for this report was collected from key informants in Kapoeta Town covering EES and remotely by phone call from Juba covering CES, between April and September 2020.
