NBI’s executive director, John Rao Nyaoro handed over the equipment to
the undersecretary in the water ministry, Liabwel Yol and the dean of
the college of engineering and architecture at the University of Juba,
James Bango.
The water sector received a state of the art hybrid power backup
system, which utilises solar and generator power, three servers, one
photocopier/network printer, one network switch, one Wifi-router and
three high speed processing workstations.
"The equipment will benefit water sanitation hygiene information
management system department and the decision support system unit,"
NBI said in a statement.
"The College of Civil Engineering and Architecture received a Server
Rack (42 U), UPS -1.5 KV (Rack type), 30 desktop wireless cards, two
Wifi-routers and six air conditioners", it added.
The equipment was reportedly requested for by the beneficiaries as
donated as part of the NBI capacity building program for South Sudan,
its latest member since July 2012.
The NBI is a regional intergovernmental partnership launched by the
Nile Basin countries in 1999 to manage and develop the shared Nile
Basin water resources in a cooperative manner, share substantial
socio-economic benefits and promote regional peace and security.
Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda,
South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda are the current members of the
NBI, while Eritrea participates as an observer.
