ABSTRACT
After more than two decades of civil war in Sudan ended with the 2005 signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the then-newly established government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) faced the massive task of providing basic services to an extremely underserved population. This challenge continues for the government of South Sudan. 1 Trying to meet high expectations for peace dividends—including much-needed access to water—in a large and conflict-devastated land with extremely poor infrastructure is an overwhelming task for an emergent government with limited capacity.
