Addressing the partners governor Bakosoro said, as the South is
already an independent country, there is high need for the government
to coordinate its activities with the NGOs in the state and country
wide for better a planning system.
“We were under another government [in Khartoum] and the system was
different from what we need to have today as [a] sovereign state,” he
said.
He noted that the government needs technical support from world
institutions and donor countries on how to lead this country in a
better way.
Bakosoro added that it is also essential for the government to know
the implementation of the projects carried by various NGOs operating
within the state, their locations of operation in order to avoid the
duplication of activities or efforts in one location.
“We need to decentralise our activities so that services can be
delivered to other counties of the state,” stressed the governor.
He pointed out that mechanism will be set in place and strategies to
have long term and short term plans which need both the government and
the NGOs.
Bakosoro said the government is also concerned about the recruitment
procedures in the organisations.

“The state ministry of labor and public service have come up with [a]
data collections circular meant to know the numbers of both national
and international working in the various organisations and government
offices for proper planning,” revealed the governor.
He disclosed that the new country needs to know the human resources
needs of South Sudanese who are working in the organisations.
Bakosoro called upon the NGOs to share information and feed the
government with the areas of strength and areas of weakness so that
the government can have back up to cement activities as one entity.
“Our financial year is starting in July so the state assembly will
commence next week so that planning of the new budget can start for
the next four,” he said.
Governor Bakosoro said there are other activities done by the NGOs
which are already budgeted for by the government, therefore there is
high need for the government to know the budgeted activities of the
NGOs to avoid wastage of resources.
The coordinator of CAFORD a church non-governmental organisation
working in the Catholic diocese of Tombura-Yambio Mr. James Mabu
hailed the meeting saying such meetings should continue so that the
partners can be directed for special coordination of activities.
He urged the state government to always send copies of the acts and
regulations of the government on other activities before
implementation so that the NGOs can brainstorm before running any
activity based on the regulation and the acts.
