"NGOs Organizations: What residents said about their 'procurement, and logistics' of Food Insecurity?'

Overview of NGOS in South Sudan:

Since war started in South Sudan, NGOS has been providing Food Security to people with devastating conditions. Not only Food Security, however medicines were also provided for basic treatments, although roads, the overall ‘physical infrastructure’ were ruined and blockaded my ongoing fighting. With coordination of South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation agency (SSRR), the United Nations organization got updated where they could be able to make much safer flight for ‘supplies, logistics and appropriate procurement’ needed. 

Getting NGOs delivered food security and medicines to people in the war devastated area in the South Sudan became a first priority amongst the South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation agency and the South Sudan SPLM leadership since they had worked in the liaison fashion to make logistics and procurement possible even in the rogue weather conditions to which landing is so hard, but dropped food security from above the skyline space with exception of medicines since they are delicate and fragile for aircrafts dropping. 

Basically South Sudanese in the displaced camps as well as in the recognized refugees’ camps received their food security and other supplies with communications from SSRR agency for appropriate direction and paperworks needed in those war-time periods. For instance, when I was in Panyagor town, Twic East County, Jonglei State---South Sudan before I flew for Kenya, we received NGOs supplies and rations almost every month, although my father was working for GOAL international humanitarian organization. We still got NGOs assistance through Kongor Payam district administrations and the same applied to every citizens at the time, they were receiving their food security through their respective Payam districts administrations, although it was different from the refugees and displaced camps where everyone was registered with ration cards as an appropriate humanitarian identification. 

Support from Non-governmental organization(NGOs) continued until South Sudan and Old Sudan brokered a peace dividend in January 2005 and of course, this support from United Nations organizations did not ceased, however they have expanded their projects and support systems in the South Sudan with headquarter in Juba city, although they have built their field offices in the State level where they get and consolidate humanitarian assistance, especially in the time of natural disaster since South Sudan is still young and number of people are still in the refugees camps. With an influx of returnees for South Sudan that needed NGOs to give them a foundation before they are left on their own, where they could be able to cultivate and rest going to work forces with skills they had acquired in the refugees’ camps, the United Nations organizations increased their support almost every other year depending on the assessment reports they received from the South Sudan States’ offices. 

War-time Physical Infrastructures Assessment:

It was terrible since there was a deep concerns of insecurity in the way to given destinations. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) logistics and procurement became very hard, especially NGO convoys loaded with food supplies could not make it during the rainy season and it had to get some coordination from the SSRR liaison agency.  Summer season became a good season for NGOs to load their big trucks literally referred to as ‘convoys’ to displaced camps in the South Sudan, especially in the Equatorial region, where there were established displaced camps.  

With conditions of physical infrastructure in the war-time eras, people in the displaced camps had suffered a lot since they had to wait for other months, especially months of rainy seasons without receiving food security supplies until it became much safer for those big trucks to make logistics trips to the displaced camps since infrastructure were destroyed and damaged by war arsenals and some bridges were collapsed without restorations since both sides were waging wars without time for reconstructions, but to avert insecurities in the areas. 

Food security blockade could happen since both South Sudan and Old Sudan had fighting operations in the part of Equatorial regions. This was worrisome for NGOS and South Sudan SSRR liaison agenbcy probably an enemy army could blockade the food security supplies in the ground that might stop supplies from reaching South Sudanese people in the displaced camps (IDPs) as it was obvious acrynonym the NGOs referred them to. 

South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Agency(SSRR) had worked tirelessly and relentlessly in the liaison fashion to ease the problems with the NGOS in getting food supplies to displaced people in the South Sudan, especially in the Equatorial regions as well as in the other refugees camps and to internally displaced camps. Without them, nothing had been made possible to direct NGOs within South Sudan.
