The Chairperson of the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) has lauded South Sudan’s initial effort in joining the global Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), geared at ensuring transparency and accountability in the oil and mining industry.

There is need for the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOMA) groups to resolve their internal disagreements, and to work together for the common good, in order to facilitate constructive engagements with the Revitalized Government of National Unity (RTGoNU), the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) has said. 

The Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) has released progress report of the state of implementation of the revitalized peace agreement during the first year of the transitional period.  The report seeks to take stock of the progress made so far, challenges encountered and what remain at stake gong forward.

Five South Sudanese Parties signed the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018, putting the conflict in South Sudan to an end. Now, in February 2021, it is one year since the formation of the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (RTGoNU). The establishment of the RTGoNU was viewed as a milestone, because it demonstrated that the implementation of the R-ARCSS was proceeding. In other words, this was the proof that the peace agreement – despite delays and concerns about political will – was in good enough health. How has the RTGoNU fared since then?

The training and redeployment of the National Unified Forces (NUF) has stalled, RJMEC Interim Chairperson H.E. Maj. Gen (Rtd) Charles Tai Gituai has said.

Review of South Sudan financial laws will ensure transparent and accountable management of public finances and resources, the Interim Chairperson of the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) has said.
