My statement Today as the Minister of Environment and Forestry on the Inception Workshop of the project Strengthening the Capacity of Government and Communities to Adapt to the Impacts of Climate Change.

 

 

Honourable state ministers

UNDP Resident Representative

Senior Government officials

Distinguished guests

Ladies and gentlemen

 

I am delighted and honored to attend this inception workshop that marks the implementation of the project on strengthening the capacity of Government and Communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Though with negligible emissions, the Climate crises is worsening in South Sudan over 2,000,000 people are internally displaced due to flooding and drought, excessive heat, heat waves, haphazard rain patterns have resulted in crop failure thus impacting the livelihoods. Over 60% of our people are now categorized as food insecure.

 

Therefore, the launch of this project and its planned interventions will build the resilience of the communities in Kapoeta, Eastern Equatoria and Terekeka in Central Equatoria to adapt to the impacts of climate change else the prospect of climate induced displacement and climate refugees will become a new normal.

 

Some will wonder why this project is only being implemented in these two areas. I would like to assure you that during the project formulation and preparation stage the civil war was raging in the country and this two regions were relatively safe but with the return of peace in the country, this project will be scaled up and replicated in all the other states and the three administrative areas.

 

I therefore call upon UNDP and UNEP and all other development partners to collaborate with the ministry and develop and implement projects to will build the resilience and improve the livelihoods of our people.

 

I am happy that the Project Management Unit will be based in the ministry with project offices in Kapoeta and Terekeka. I hope all the planned activities will be implemented for the project to fullfil its objective.

 

 

Finally, I wish the management team success and declare this inception workshop open.

 

I thank you.

President Salva Kiir Mayardiit.  President Salva Kiir Mayardiit today dismisses Presidential Special Envoy and Petroleum Ministry Undersecretary in Major Reshuffle.  President Kiir today issued a series of decrees that resulted in the removal of several high-ranking officials from their positions.  Among those relieved of their duties were the Presidential Special Envoy, Ambassador Albino Mathom Ayuel, and Dr. Chol Thon Abel, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Petroleum.  These changes come as part of broader political and administrative adjustments, though the reasons for the dismissals have not been officially detailed in the decree.  Such moves are not uncommon in South Sudan's dynamic political landscape, where leadership changes can be influenced by both internal and external factors. The President did not explain as to why he decided to sack the high ranking officials in the government.
