UN & Partners WorkplanRecovery and Development in Southern Sudan May 2008
Background • Process initiated in 2005 to meet the most immediate humanitarian needs and initiate transition to recovery and development; • Tool for planning, coordination and resource mobilization; • Evolved over time with increasing recovery and development component; • Stronger partnership with Government: approval of sector plans and Gov plans as foundation.
Transitions 2005 - 2008 Coordination Structures Partnerships Planning processes Funding requirements
Transition – Coordination Structures In 2005, most NGOs, UN Agencies and Donors were based in Kenya and Uganda; The pre-cursors to GoSS, SPLM line secretariats were also based in Kenya; In 2008, there are 15 UN Agencies and more than 100 NGOs resident and operating in Southern Sudan; GoSS is established and the State Governments are strengthening; Major donors have established offices in Juba; GoSS Aid policies and procedures are in place.
Transition - Partnerships The 2005 UN & Partners workplan process incorporated recovery and development planning with humanitarian planning for the first time. BSWGs have facilitated bringing GoSS, donors, NGOs and UN together; In 2007, the Workplan sectors were aligned with the BSWGs; Though there has been an increase in NGO participation the number of indigenous NGOs has not increased in proportion. This is a major challenge; Need to strengthen processes and collaboration at State level as GOSS moves forward with decentralization.
