Advocating For Women’s Inclusion In Natural Resource Governance In South Sudan
GEPA implemented a six months project with support from UAF Africa. The project sought to entrench women’s inclusion in the natural resource governance in South Sudan through the mobilization and documentation of feminist movements voices to provide informed and evidence based advocacy on natural resource governance, and also support women parliamentarians and women rights activists to spearhead a women-led advocacy and campaign against climate injustices.
This project made a positive contribution towards addressing the issue on the proposed and illegal dredging of the Jonglei canal, Naam River, Lake No and Sudd swamp which are tributaries of the River Nile in South Sudan, temporarily, putting at bay the looming threats onto the ecosystem biodiversity that would have highly predisposed the water catchment/ habitat to climate change vulnerabilities.
