Africa-Press – South-Sudan. The UN Women in South Sudan on Tuesday donated 10 computers and printing paper to the National Constitution Review Commission (NCRC) to enhance their work.
The donation includes five laptops, five desktop computers, five cabinet files, 50 boxes of printing paper, and eight toners.
Speaking during the handover ceremony in Juba on Tuesday, Riang Yier Zuor, the chairperson of the reconstituted NCRC, said that the donation of laptops, desktop computers, and printing supplies will aid documentation of the constitution-making process.
“The delegation has come to deliver various equipment, including laptops, desktops, and other supplies. The constitution-making process is quite demanding and requires extensive documentation and recording,” Zuor said.
“The computers will be invaluable. With these resources available to the commission members and the secretariat, we can achieve much more, which is beneficial for the people of South Sudan,” he added.
Zuor disclosed that a team will be dispatched to conduct civic education and public consultations in the states to enhance a constitutional text.
“I assure you that the NCRC is fully committed to the constitution-making process and is determined to have the constitution ready before the elections,” he affirmed.
Rukaya Mohamed, the Deputy Country Representative of UN Women, emphasized that the donation of computers and printing materials aimed to boost the work of the commission during the upcoming nationwide civic education and public consultation efforts.
“It is a pleasure for me to deliver equipment that will enhance the commission’s operational work. We are at a critical juncture where public consultation and civic education will occur at various levels, and it is essential that these efforts are documented,” Mohamed stated.
“This is just the beginning of more initiatives to come. We highly value our partnership with the NCRC and will continue to collaborate to ensure that South Sudan has a permanent constitution that is gender-responsive,” she concluded.
