Abstract
When it comes to post-conflict recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction of the communities, complex issues need to be dealt with. Local infrastructures, socio-economy structures and government services, including basic services in the affected areas need to be rebuilt. Many donors and funding agencies are eager to provide assistance and contribute, but the delivery of efficient and effective reconstruction of a damaged society and economy is often a dilemma, as issues such as law and order, priorities of assistance and diplomatic/political factors in such a fragile environment need to be carefully considered. After 21-years of armed conflict, South Sudan has immense needs, while expectations of the people are high. Apart from basic needs and infrastructure, many government facilities and capacities need to be built from scratch. The Sudan has some of the lowest human development indicators in Africa and progress of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is slow. South Sudan in particular faces enormous challenges with a gross enrolment rate of 22% in primary education, household access to safe water being only 39%, and measles immunization coverage being only 34%. In an effort to contribute to lasting peace and in preparation for meeting the enormous reconstruction needs after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in January 2005 between the Government of National Unity (GONU) and the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), the UN and World Bank led the Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) that produced plans for the immediate post-conflict reconstruction phase. To finance the post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction phase Multi Donor Trust Funds (i.e. for the North and the South) were established wherein multilateral and bilateral donors pledged $ 508 million. |
