Thanks, if I may.
Your observations are bang on. We had a meeting with NGOs in Juba. I was really thrilled to be a part of this trip actually. It was my first chance--two months into my new role--to be able to join the whole government team heading out on this visit and take a look for myself in Sudan.
When we met with NGOs, one of the comments they made was that there's going to be a huge expectation the moment the referendum is done that they're going to see roads, jobs, education, health, all in place miraculously overnight. Couple that with the observation we heard that over 50% of the public servants in the Government of South Sudan have less than a primary school level education and only 5% have a university degree. You also have a government emerging from a military government to a civilian government. You have capacity issues right across the whole region. Couple that with the challenges of reach in a place with perhaps 100 kilometres of paved roads. There are massive challenges here, as well as that slight disconnect between expectations and reality.
The issue then becomes one for the government, for donors, and for NGOs to work together to try to get set for building that capacity for the longer term, but being ready for that short-term rush to fill that gap between expectations and reality.
