Tender Details

Tenders are invited for GIZ Project Documentary Consultancy.

South Sudan, the youngest nation in the world, gained its independence in 2011 after a 2010 referendum. But just two years later civil war broke out which affected and continues to impact the life of millions of its citizens and make many of them refugees to neighboring countries, IDPs. The first peace deal signed in 2015 collapsed after just a couple of few months and renewed violent clashes between the warring parties increased across much of the country. On February 2020, a revitalized peace agreement on the resolution of conflict in South Sudan was signed. This latest peace process has promised new hope for the country and there has been an improvement in the general security situation in the country. However, ambushes and attacks along highways, intensification of inter-communal violence (ICV) and revenge killings have continued in some areas of the country and continued to be the causes for the killing of many civilians and humanitarian workers, displacement of people, abduction of women and girls, etc. Human rights, humanitarian situations, food security and economic conditions in the country remain dire, with an enormous impact on civilians.

The cumulative effects of years of conflict and violence has caused significant destruction to various social services including the different WASH infrastructure country wise in general and specifically in the greater Equatoria region - especially Yei, Torit, and Yambio - which continues to impact the lives of local communities.

Yei Town: Arising from the prevailing security situation and associated displacement of impacted communities, Yei town has a population of more than 30, 000 people in its municipality. Given the recent peace agreement signed earlier this year, there are indicators that more people are returning to Yei town due to increased availability of services; thus many are abandoning villages for the town in search of medical services, food, security and education for their children. Yei Payam in particular has seen an increase in its population of South Sudanese returnees settling along Kaya Road, Juba Road, Maridi Road and Lasu Road close to the town. Most of the households are vulnerable and require support to access WASH services. Additionally, many residents of Lainya, Morobo, Tore, Mugwo, Otogo, Kupera, Mukaya and Lujulo areas migrated to Yei town for safety. This has affected access to WASH services which remains a challenge due to the upsurge in the population within the town center.

Torit: This is one of the most volatile and conflict prone areas of Eastern Equatoria State. Torit town is an administrative center and the headquarter of Eastern Equatoria State, with an estimated population of 58, 864 (29, 187 females and 29, 497 males). Much of the population depends on business activities as their source of livelihood, and others rely on subsistence agriculture. The town is the state headquarter of various business enterprises, education, health, and religious institutions. Due to conflict in the state, the WASH infrastructure has been severely damaged or destroyed leaving the entire population to depend on open and unprotected water sources served by River Kineti, as well as a couple of boreholes and seasonal rainwater. Conflict has displaced a number of people from Torit town with many fleeing as IDPs to safer areas of the country, and others as refugees to the neighboring countries.

Yambio: Yambio town is located within the Western Equatoria State and borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to an IOM Assessment (2018), Yambio town has an estimated population of 113, 051 individuals, consisting of 29, 447 IDPs, 39, 311 returnees and 44, 293 host community members. With the formation of the government of national unity, the town has witnessed the return of South Sudanese refugees from the neighboring countries of Uganda, Sudan and DRC. The returnees continue to cause severe strain on the already limited resources that support the town-s population, including core WASH infrastructure. Yambio town was the center of significant armed clashes and widespread displacement in 2016, and prior to this there were persistent conflicts between the South Sudan People-s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and local authorities in Yambio and in neighboring counties, leading many people to seek refuge in the town.**
