The Assessment: The selected Counties in former Unity, Northern Jonglei and Upper Nile states are chronically in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) acute food insecurity, Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and some pockets that are in Catastrophe (IPC phase 5)[1] depending on seasonality. Depending on accessibility, the assessment will sample counties of Mayendit, Leer, Panyijar, Koch and Rubkona in former Unity State; Fangak. Ayod, Uror, Duk and Akobo in former Jonglei state; and Ulang, Panyikang, Fashoda, Maiwut and Nasir in former Upper Nile state. The sample locations for this assessment will be a mix of counties with the heterogenous characteristic but also similarities of other factors. It is therefore significantly important that a mix of both desk reviews of important to know the relevant clusters/ OCHA and other actors information and household level information is methodology and tools are used.

4.1. Data Collection

Secondary data such as statistics should be from the 2008 population census data extrapolation to inform the assessment design and respondents sample size. IDPs, Returnees identification and non-displaced populations sampling should be based on humanitarian documents and datasets such as IOM DTM data, OCHA’s latest Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) document. These documents are crucial references to identify caseload figures of affected populations in the different Counties and hot spot payams/ villages.

Primary data collection will be implemented following a mixed method: on the one hand, a household survey representative at household level in selected villages; and at County level some Focus Group Discussions and Persons with Knowledge on the assessment objectives to give more in-depth understanding and better details about targeted population groups’ vulnerabilities.

Background

The signing of Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018 in Addis Ababa brought renewed impetus towards stabilizing the fragile situation in the country. In May 2019 the parties agreed to extend the Pre-Transition period by six months due to delay in the implementation of key millstones, including the formation of a unified security force and the issue of boundaries and states. Thus, the R-ARCSS will be implemented in two phases: (i) Pre-Transition (14 months from the signing) and Transition (36 months). Following signing of the R-ARCSS, South Sudan is gearing up to embark on a50-moth transitional period with the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) mandated, among other things to, implement the revitalized peace agreement with a renewed promise of no return to war; expedite the relief, protection, voluntary and dignified repatriation, rehabilitation, resettlement and reintegration of IDPs and returnees; facilitate and oversee a people-driven process of national reconciliation and healing through an independent mechanism; oversee and ensure the development adoption of a permanent constitution; restructure, rehabilitate, and ensure radical reform of the civil service; design and implement security sector reforms and security sector transformation; undertake legal and institutional reforms, enforce accountable economic governance and improve service delivery to citizens. According to the Revitalized Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (R-JMEC), the direction of movement on R-ARCSS implementation thus far is positive.

Due to protracted conflict and neglect, the rule of law sector in South Sudan is characterized by weak justice and security institutions to deliver justice services; inability of citizens to access justice, particularly for vulnerable groups; lack of accountability; ineffective intra-sectoral coordination mechanisms; and insufficiently qualified staff. Besides the challenges, the rule of law sector is further compromised by poor organizational design; ineffective bureaucratic processes; inadequate legal, institutional and policy frameworks; inadequate leadership and supervision; lack of equipment and working tools; and lack of case management systems. The situation at sub-national level is particularly serious due to the limited state presence and expertise in the state rule institutions. The insufficient extension of State authority by justice, law and order institutions has diminished reliance on the formal and/or customary systems of justice and instead tended to normalize a culture of violence and lawlessness.

Justice and the rule of law are fundamental for the implementation of the R-ARCSS. Rule of law is a core pillar of UNDP’s work, and is critical to peacebuilding. During a crisis, national and local capacities must be empowered to tackle impunity and respond to immediate justice and security needs. In the aftermath of crisis, and in fragile situations, unobstructed access to legitimate rule of law institutions is a decisive factor in efforts to rebuild societies and prevent a downward spiral into violence or conflict. In this regard, UNDP’s Access to Justice and Rule of Law (A2J/RoL) project is designed to increase the availability, affordability, adaptability and acceptability of justice services in South Sudan through a sector-wide approach. To this end, UNDP’s engagement in this area seeks to enhance physical and legal protection of people and communities, ensuring legal representation, access to justice, and empowerment of communities and civil society. The project works to develop capacities of justice and law enforcement institutions and ensure that security providers are subject to civilian oversight. Emphasis is placed on tackling sexual and gender-based violence in situations affected by conflict and fragility. The A2J/RoL project also complements ongoing capacity building initiatives implemented at the national and sub-national level within the Partnership for Recovery and Resilience framework with support from other development partners. The key partners of the project are: Judiciary of South Sudan (JoSS), the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs (MoJCA); Ministry of Interior (South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS) and National Prisons Service of South Sudan (NPSSS), South Sudan Human Right Commission (SSHRC), and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). In support of the implementation of the R-ARCSS and using a human rights-based approach, the A2J/RoL project will focus on the delivery of the following three interrelated outputs:

• Functions and capacity of rule of law institutions enabled to deliver accountable, effective and equitable justice services.
• Measures in place and implemented in the rule of law sector to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence.
• Human rights and transitional justice mechanisms strengthened to monitor and respond to the promotion and protection of citizen's rights

Background

The signing of Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018 in Addis Ababa brought renewed impetus towards stabilizing the fragile situation in the country. Since independence and transition from Sudan in 2011, South Sudan has and continues to face immense political, institutional, social and economic challenges. Following signing of the R-ARCSS, South Sudan is gearing up to embark on a transitional period with the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) mandated, among other things to, implement the revitalized peace agreement with a renewed promise of no return to war, reintegrate refugees and internally displaced persons, undertake legal and institutional reforms, enforce accountable economic management and improve service delivery to citizens. According to the Revitalized Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (R-JMEC), the direction of movement on R-ARCSS implementation thus far is positive.

The country lacks coherent core institutional structures of governance and critical infrastructure and has, for a long time faced severe economic crises in light of persistent oil price volatility and oil production shocks. By signing the R-ARCSS, the signatories committed to implement provisions of Chapter IV of the R-ARCSS, which advances key economic reforms. A well-calibrated economic management support package inspired by the R-ARCSS will enable the government to accelerate implementation of the targeted economic reforms, strengthen and improve governance and delivery of services. There is a need to invest in accurate, timely information and data collection as well because accurate information is key to effective management.

Public expenditure is characterized by mismanagement emanating from lack of clear public expenditure frameworks, including lack of public procurement law and application of Public Financial Management and Accountability Act, 2011, among other laws, that are not implemented. Therefore, reforms to deliver efficient and transparent public procurement systems and enhance accountability in the use of public funds, among others are necessary to ensure that public resources are spent effectively and efficiently in line with strategic priorities outlined in the R-ARCSS. Strategic capacity injection in key ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) is crucial for effective economic management.

The R-ARCSS provides for the reconstitution and or creation of new Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). Most of these institutions do not have foundational frameworks, requisite qualified human resources, organizational systems, tools and processes for basic functionality. They will all certainly require an injection of technical expertise and significant capacity support to enable them to achieve their objectives. The magnitude of the required support necessitates a strategic approach to identifying priority institutions that will drive implementation of the R-ARCSS. For each of the targeted institutions, priority will be given to institutional and human resource development, review and upgrading of regulatory frameworks.

Prior to the December 2013 crisis, amendments were made to laws governing the operation of key integrity institutions in South Sudan, namely Anti-Corruption Commission (SSACC) and National Audit Chamber (NAC). However, these amendments have not been finalized and the institutions have remained weak, resulting in indiscipline in public spending and poor stewardship of national resources. Thus, addition to articulating and operationalizing the regulatory frameworks governing the operations of these institutions, capacity improvements are required to enable effective delivery of their respective mandates.

Signatories to the R-ARCSS prioritized key institutions’ capacity building and legislative reforms to enable delivery of institutional mandates and conversely, successful implementation of the R-ARCSS. There is also a growing realization that successful implementation R-ARCSS requires serious demonstration of political will, sound leadership, and strong institutional and human capacities, lest, the revitalized agreement, like its precursors will again fail and plunge the young nation back to conflict.

In partnership with Norway and Government of South Sudan, UNDP through the Governance & Economic Management Support (GEMS) Project aims to contribute towards setting the country on a pathway to sustainable peace, development and improved well-being for citizens through: a) strengthening capacity of 38 (12 economic, 22 governance and 4 service) key national institutions to ensure effective and accountable implementation of the R-ARCSS; and b) bolstering key economic governance and accountability functions with attention to Chapter I to IV, which furthers key governance and economic management reforms. The project builds on the experiences and successes of Phases I & II of the Republic of South Sudan/Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (RSS/IGAD) Regional Initiative for Capacity Enhancement in South Sudan Project (2010-2019). The GEMS project also complements ongoing capacity building initiatives implemented at the sub-national level within the Partnership for Recovery and Resilience framework with support from other development partners.

Background

South Sudan has experienced immense political, institutional, social and economic challenges, which have derailed its progress since independence and transition from Sudan in July 2011. In September 2018, parties to the conflict signed a peace agreement to end the conflict. The Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) brought renewed impetus towards stabilizing the fragile situation in the country. Following signing of the R-ARCSS, South Sudan is gearing up to embark on a transitional period with the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) mandated, among other things to implement the revitalized peace agreement with a renewed promise of no return to war, reintegrate refugees and internally displaced persons, undertake legal and institutional reforms, enforce accountable economic governance and improve service delivery to citizens.

The country is still working towards building coherent core institutional structures of governance and critical infrastructure. For a long time, South Sudan faced severe economic crises in light of persistent oil price volatility and oil production shocks. By signing the R-ARCSS, the signatories committed to implement the whole agreement including provisions of Chapter IV, which advances key economic reforms in the spirit of the New Deal for Engagement in fragile states. A well-calibrated economic management support package inspired by the R-ARCSS will enable the government to build on efforts to roll out the National Development Strategy (NDS), accelerate implementation of the targeted economic reforms, strengthen and improve governance and delivery of services. The government is also prioritising the production and timely dissemination of accurate information on socio-economic fundamentals as a key tool for decision making and effective management.

Reforms to enhance public Financial Management (PFM) is critical to ensure that public resources are spent effectively and efficiently in line with strategic priorities outlined in the R-ARCSS. Mobilizing and managing resources required to fund the R-ARCSS is very important for the successful implementation of the R-ARCSS.

Meanwhile the aid landscape in South Sudan is shaped by several years of crises which has seriously undermined the working of State institutions and eroded the basis of national leadership required to ensure the effectiveness of aid delivery. Government faces several obstacles to act on the principles contained in the Paris Declaration (2005), the Accra Agenda for Action (2008) and the New Deal for Engagement in fragile states.

Consequenty, developing and nurturing key partnerships with all stakeholders (government and public sector, donors, private sector and civil society) is essential. Enhanced coordination of partners would contribute to more efficient implementation of the R-ARCSS. Additionally, key reforms by government to strengthen economic management processes are crucial to build the mutual trust necessary for the R-ARCSS to be implemented.

Strategic capacity injection in key ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) is crucial for implementation of the public expenditure and accountability frameworks and build institutional capacities for adoption and application of PFM principles, as articulated in Chapter IV of R-ARCSS.

II. Organizational Context and Purpose for the job

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
