We are therefore glad and privileged to undertake this CPA project since it’s going to be the baseline for addressing the CPA implementation process, rule of law and human right in South Sudan. To achieve our stated vision, “To see a competitive Southern Sudan, with productive and God-fearing people”, the project will help fast track our mission and obligation to the people of Southern Sudan. As always, we shall undertake to realize the project mandate and inculcate values of integrity, accountability, transparency and neutrality.
My thanks go to the community, our staff, and the government, stakeholders, including such pivotal development partners such as UNDP and all persons and organizations of goodwill that are always willing to help us move on a path toward social healing, tolerance, peace and development. In particular, it is UNKEA’s hope that UNDP will continue support this project so as to help in the realization of the specified objectives as well as help our organization meet its mandate.

It is also UNKEA’s believe that the government of Southern Sudan will continue working to address, amongst other things, peace, security, gender, rule of laws and human right issues to help realize a conducive environment for the well-being of the society at large.
