Specific context of Malakal, Upper Nile State

Malakal is the capital of Upper Nile State and is the 4th largest town of South Sudan in terms of population, with approximately 140,000 inhabitants. It represents an important economic centre thanks to its strategic location between North and South Sudan. Malakal is connected with Juba by flight (1h20) and Bentiu (50 minutes). The majority of the population are from the Shilluk tribe, but Malakal town counts an important population of Nuer and Dinka, which can sometimes create tensions. Northerners are mainly involved in trade and jobs with oil companies. The international community consists of an average number NGOs, UN humanitarian agency present and UNMIS team site. Before the present security situation, there were a number of well stocked shops in Malakal town as well as a number of hotels and restaurants.

Malakal’s population remains very poor. Around 85% of the population is still practicing Open defecation, and water access remains a challenge. Most of the residents stay far from River Nile which is the main source of water for Malakal town. Some parts of the city is not covered by the current water network, which require the population to walk hours to get water, or to get it from unsafe water points especially in the rainy season. In 2007, Solidarités International installed a modern water treatment plant in Malakal town that was meant to supply water to parts of town of Luakat. The water network was later handed over to the local authorities in 2009. At the time of writing, the status of the water treatment plant is uncertain.

The most reliable way to travel from Juba to Malakal is by plane which takes about 2 hours. Malakal town has a properly developed airport used by both UNHAS and commercial flights. Motor boat services are also possible from Juba and takes more than 5 days to Malakal, but this is used mainly to transport fuel and other heavy equipment.
