Full project details, continually updated, can be viewed, downloaded and printed from http://fts.unocha.org. iv v Foreword 2011 has been a momentous year for South Sudan. It has been a privilege to stand with the South Sudanese people as they witnessed the birth of their new nation – from the decisive independence referendum in January, the end of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement period, to the country’s long- awaited entry into the community of nations on 9 July. The Republic of South Sudan has now started the long and challenging task of building a new state. The humanitarian community is committed to supporting the government and its people as they embark on this endeavour. The 2012 Consolidated Appeal Process is the product of this collective commitment. It reflects the combined efforts of South Sudan’s humanitarian partners – the government’s humanitarian institutions, UN agencies, national and international non-governmental organizations, and the donor community. It provides a blueprint for ensuring that, over the coming year, we can save lives and support vulnerable communities as effectively and efficiently as possible. South Sudan faces a number of humanitarian challenges as it looks to 2012. Clashes along and across the country’s new international border with Sudan have increased, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee southwards. Persistent rebel activity and military counter-operations pose a significant threat to the lives and livelihoods of civilians, while inter-communal violence has also surged in several locations. Insecurity and a rise in interference with aid operations by the armed forces have compounded humanitarian access. Responding to the needs of over 350,000 South Sudanese returning from Sudan has been a major priority. Humanitarian partners have worked closely with the government to support returnees during their long journey home, providing essential assistance and protection en route, and life-sustaining support as households start

  • Services, Return, and Security in Four Counties in Southern Sudan
    Final Report SERVICES, RETURN, AND SECURITY IN FOUR COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN SUDAN A SURVEY COMMISSIONED BY AAH-I AND IPCS AND CONDUCTED BY BICC Authors: Michael Ashkenazi (Project leader) Joe Farha (Intern) Elvan Isikozlu (Project Officer) Helen Radeke (Research Assistant) Philip Rush (second researcher) INTERNATIONALES KONVERSIONSZENTRUM BONN - An der Elisabethkirche 25 BONN INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR CONVERSION (BICC) GMBH 53113 Bonn Tel.: +49-228-911 96-0 Geschäftsführer: Peter J.

Data from the study was collected by a mix of desk surveys and two weeks of intensive fieldwork in four counties in Southern Sudan: Yei River, West Juba, Maridi and Mundri. The field study was preceded by a four-day training course for enumerators, twenty four of whom participated in the survey in four teams. A preparatory day was also dedicated to presenting the study of non- governmental organization (NGO) partners in Equatoria, and to incorporating their suggestions into the study questionnaires. Two general findings stand out. (1) The need to move conceptually from aid to development, including activities at the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) and at NGO levels, and to concretize the development process. (2) The need to change Southern Sudanese perceptions of dependency syndrome and of ethnic suspicion.

  • Tracking the Flow of Government Transfers Financing Local Government Service Delivery in South Sudan
    Tracking the flow of Government transfers Financing local government service delivery in South Sudan 1.0 Introduction The Government of South Sudan through its Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP) makes transfers of funds to states and local governments on a monthly basis to finance service delivery. Broadly speaking, the government makes five types of transfers to the local government level: a) Conditional salary transfers: these funds are transferred to be used by the county departments of education, health and water to pay for the salaries of primary school teachers, health workers and water sector workers respectively. b) Operation transfers for county service departments: these funds are transferred to the counties for the departments of education, health and water to cater for the operation costs of these county departments. c) County block transfer: each county receives a discretionary amount which it can spend as it wishes on activities of the county. d) Operation transfer to service delivery units (SDUs): these funds are transferred to primary schools and primary health care facilities under the jurisdiction of each county to cater for operation costs of these units. e) County development grant (CDG): the national annual budget includes an item to be transferred to each county to enable the county conduct development activities such as construction of schools and office blocks; in practice however this money has not been released to the counties since 2011 mainly due to a lack of funds. 2.0 Transfer and spending modalities/guidelines Funds are transferred by the national Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning from the government accounts at Bank of South Sudan to the respective state’s bank accounts through the state ministries of Finance (SMoF).
