South Sudan, Republic of - 3 Logistics Services

Since independence the market of service providers have expanded exponentially with both national and international companies providing a host of support services. As in other business sectors, domestic operators and service providers have also seen significant growth and the government is actively encouraging the development of local ownership. However the growth in this sector and the quality of the services provided is constrained by a shortage of specialised skills in the local labour market and the perceived difficulty of doing business in South Sudan.

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.1 Fuel

Fuel Overview

Fuel provision in South Sudan faces significant challenges in terms of supply and storage. The country heavily relies on imported petroleum products due to limited domestic refining capacity. Logistical constraints, including inadequate infrastructure, insecurity, and political instability, often disrupt supply chains. This results in frequent fuel shortages and price fluctuations. Moreover, storage facilities are insufficient and poorly maintained, leading to limited capacity and potential fuel quality issues. These challenges highlight the need for investment in infrastructure development, efficient supply management, and strategic storage facilities to ensure a more reliable and sustainable fuel provision system in South Sudan.

Both government distributors and private companies provide fuel in South Sudan. The national oil company, Nile Petroleum Corporation (Nilepet), plays a significant role in fuel provision as the main government distributor. It has a monopoly over oil exploration, production, and distribution in the country. Additionally, there are several private companies involved in the fuel sector, including Trinity Energy, Petronas, and Sahara Energy, which import and distribute petroleum products. These private companies operate through partnerships with international oil companies and contribute to the overall fuel supply in South Sudan. However, the sector is still evolving, and efforts are being made to promote competition, attract investment, and improve the efficiency of fuel supply and distribution in the country.

Fuel supply in South Sudan has been a significant challenge, both currently and historically. South Sudan heavily depends on fuel imports due to limited internal production capacity. Most fuel arrives from neighbouring countries such as Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya. However, political instability, conflicts, and logistical constraints have often disrupted fuel supply chains, causing shortages and price fluctuations. Internal production has been hampered by infrastructure constraints, lack of investment, and technical expertise. The country's landlocked geography further complicates fuel transportation, increasing costs and vulnerability to disruptions. These fuel supply issues have had adverse effects on various sectors of the economy, including transportation, agriculture, and power generation, impacting the livelihoods of the population.

Fuel Pricing

The fuel price in South Sudan is determined by various factors, including international crude oil prices, transportation costs, taxes, and government policies. The government heavily regulates the fuel sector and sets the retail price through the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining. The pricing formula considers the cost of importing or refining fuel, transportation costs, distribution margins, and taxes.

Government policies and taxes play a significant role in fuel pricing in South Sudan. The government imposes a fuel tax, a percentage of the retail price, to generate revenue. Additionally, there may be other levies and fees imposed by the government, such as customs duties and fuel subsidies. These policies and taxes influence the final fuel price and can lead to price fluctuations.

It is worth noting that the government has sometimes intervened to stabilize fuel prices during times of crisis or to mitigate social unrest. However, these interventions may have unintended consequences and can strain the fiscal resources of the government. Overall, government policies and taxes have a direct impact on the pricing of fuel in South Sudan, and any changes in these policies can have significant implications for the fuel market and the economy.

Seasonal Variations

Yes, there are seasonal variations in fuel supply and management in South Sudan. During the rainy season, which typically lasts from May to November, the transportation infrastructure becomes more challenging due to flooded roads and impassable routes. This can disrupt the supply chain and hinder fuel delivery to various regions of the country. Additionally, agricultural activities such as harvesting and transporting crops during certain seasons may increase the demand for fuel, putting additional strain on the already limited supply. To manage these seasonal variations, the government and fuel suppliers often need to plan, stockpile fuel, and ensure alternative transportation methods are in place to address the logistical challenges during the rainy season.

Seasonal Variations
Are there national priorities in the availability of fuel? (i.e. are there restrictions or priorities for the provision of fuel such as to the military?)	No
Is there a rationing system?	No
Is fuel to lower income / vulnerable groups subsidized?	No
Can the local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs?	Yes, However, a sudden and prolonged surge in demand would be problematic and given the length of the supply chain. It is highly unlikely that South Sudanese fuel suppliers would be able to meet the surge in demand for extended periods of time.
Is it possible for a humanitarian organization to directly contract a reputable supplier / distributor to provide its fuel needs?	Yes, various suppliers with direct access to fuel refineries is operating within South Sudan.

Fuel Transportation

The internal fuel transport in South Sudan is primarily carried out through road and river transportation. Fuel is transported in tanker trucks over long distances to various regions of the country, and in some cases, it is transported via river barges. However, there are significant constraints and bottlenecks that exist in the internal transport of fuel. The country's infrastructure, including roads and bridges, is often inadequate and poorly maintained, making transportation challenging and prone to delays. This, coupled with security concerns and the seasonal variations in road conditions, hampers the efficient and timely delivery of fuel. Moreover, the limited capacity of storage facilities and the lack of strategic reserves further exacerbate the challenges in meeting local fuel needs and potential increases in demand from the humanitarian community. Addressing these constraints and investing in infrastructure development would be crucial to improving the internal transport of fuel and ensuring a reliable supply to meet both local and humanitarian demands in South Sudan.

Standards, Quality and Testing

In South Sudan, ensuring fuel quality standards and enforcing them is an important aspect of the fuel sector. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining is responsible for setting and monitoring these standards to ensure that the fuel being supplied meets the required specifications. These standards typically cover parameters such as octane or cetane rating, sulfur content, density, and other quality indicators. The ministry collaborates with relevant stakeholders, including fuel suppliers and importers, to ensure compliance with these standards.

As for enforcing fuel quality standards, the government conducts inspections and monitoring activities to verify the quality of fuel sold in the market. This includes conducting random sampling and testing fuel samples to check if they meet the prescribed standards. If any deviations or violations are found, appropriate actions may be taken, such as fines, penalties, or even suspensions.

Regarding national testing laboratories, South Sudan faces challenges establishing and maintaining such facilities. While efforts have been made in the past to set up national testing laboratories, the progress has been limited. As a result, the country often relies on external laboratories or regional testing facilities to carry out the necessary fuel quality testing. Establishing a well-equipped national testing laboratory would be beneficial in ensuring more efficient and timely monitoring and enforcement of fuel quality standards in South Sudan.

Industry Control Measures
Do tanks have adequate protection against water mixing with the fuel?	Yes, only large suppliers can adequately provide this capacity.
Are there filters in the system which monitor where fuel is loaded into aircraft?	Yes, major fuel suppliers have filter systems in place both at fuel storage units and on fuel trucks ensure water and particulate filtration.
Is there adequate epoxy coating of tanks on trucks?	No, only major fuel suppliers have adequate protection.
Is there a presence of suitable firefighting equipment?	Yes, only large suppliers can realistically provide acceptable fire fighting systems and adhere to international standards.

Standards Authority
Is there a national or regional standards authority?	Yes
If yes, please identify the appropriate national and/or regional authority.	National:SSNS Regional:TBC
If yes, are the standards adequate/properly enforced?	No

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.2 Transporters

The demand for road freight transport has grown significantly since independence. The result is that many local and foreign-owned transport providers have entered the market with various capacities and services to offer. This sector is characterized by small to medium-sized vehicle fleets and vehicles of differing capacities and maintenance levels. Larger transport providers can offer full transport services and operate in neighbouring countries.

In general, road freight transport companies range from small to medium-sized operations with access to additional fleet capacity through owner-operator vehicles. Most operators can operate throughout the country; however, in some instances, such as during the rainy season or in areas posing a potential security risk, the transporter can refuse to travel or increase transport costs.

The road freight transport sector can meet the current demand of the humanitarian community, and foreign operators are allowed to operate domestically on the condition that companies are registered. As with other business sectors, the government actively encourages local development and ownership and, in some instances, requires local shareholders in foreign-owned companies.

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.3 Manual Labor Costs

In South Sudan, manual labor plays a significant role in various sectors of the economy, including agriculture, construction, and informal industries. However, the country lacks comprehensive national legislation specifically addressing manual labor. The labor laws that do exist primarily focus on broader labor rights and protections.

Trade unions exist in South Sudan, but their influence and impact on manual labor are limited. The trade union movement is still in its early stages of development, and there are challenges in organizing and representing workers effectively.

The availability of manual labor in South Sudan is relatively high, given the country's youthful population and limited job opportunities in other sectors. Many individuals rely on manual labor as a means of livelihood. However, issues such as low wages, lack of job security, and poor working conditions are common challenges workers face in manual, labor-intensive sectors.

Rates vary currently with the fluctuating exchange rate.

It is important to consult current sources and labour-related legislation in South Sudan to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on the usage of manual labour, national legislation, the role of unions, cost incentives, common areas of work, and the issues faced by organizations in the country.

Labour Rate(s) Overview
	Cost (Local Currency & USD - $)	Rate as of July 2023
Daily General Worker-Unskilled casual labour	SSP: 9,000 & $9	July 2023
Daily General Worker -Semi-skilled labour	SSP: 7,000 & $7	July 2023
Skilled Worker	SSP:5,000 & $5	July 2023

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.4 Telecommunications

The Ministry of Telecommunications and Postal Services (MOTPS) is responsible for the development of the country's telecommunications infrastructure and oversees and regulates the telecommunications network and service providers.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)

Mobile networks have significantly expanded their coverage and reliability in South Sudan over the years, improving access to communication and connectivity for the population. However, challenges remain due to the country's vast geography, limited infrastructure, and ongoing conflict. While major mobile network operators operate in South Sudan, coverage can be uneven, particularly in remote and conflict-affected areas.

Companies such as MTN South Sudan, Zain South Sudan, and Digital South Sudan dominate the mobile network market in the country. These operators have made substantial investments in expanding their network infrastructure and improving service quality. However, due to the challenging operating environment, including frequent power outages and limited maintenance capacity, network reliability can vary.

In terms of regulatory requirements affecting the use of mobile money at scale, the Central Bank of South Sudan has established guidelines and regulations to ensure the security, stability, and proper functioning of mobile financial services. These regulations include Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, transaction limits, and safeguards against money laundering and terrorist financing.

Furthermore, the Central Bank of South Sudan closely monitors and regulates mobile money operators to protect consumer interests and maintain financial stability. This includes licensing requirements, reporting obligations, and regular audits of mobile money platforms.

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers

Overview

There are no established suppliers for food (Maize, CSB, Pulses, Sugar, Oil or RTE (Ready to Eat) produced in South Sudan. Most locally produced foodstuffs are available in local markets or transported to larger markets in urban areas. Most foods are imported from neighbouring countries Uganda and Kenya.

WFP’s 'P4P' unit has started to establish business relationship with a selection of farmers’ organisations and cooperatives in Western and Central Equatoria with the aim of stimulating local production and making surplus food available to the wider market.

Operational support items such as water tanks, generators tents and basic IT equipment are readily available in major market centres around the country, however specialised items would need to be imported from neighbouring countries.

Generic country information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For a general overview of country data related to the service and supply sectors, please consult to following sources:

3.6 South Sudan Additional Service Providers

South Sudan Additional Service Providers: Vehicle Rental, Taxi Companies, Freight Forwarding Agents, Handling Equipment, Power Generation and ISPs

Vehicle Rental

Various vehicle rental companies are present in South Sudan with a wide selection of vehicles available for hire. The vast majority of such companies however have small vehicle fleets with varying capacities and vehicles maintained to questionable standards. No large international vehicle rental companies are present in South Sudan and organisations looking to augment their vehicle fleet will need to negotiate directly with vehicle owners.

Taxi Companies

The taxi industry is unregulated and characterised by privately owner-operated vehicles and motorbikes. There are a number of larger locally owned taxi operators however travel rates vary and needs to be negotiated for. Travel by motorbike or ‘boda-boda’ is readily available and at a relatively low cost, however at significant risk due to prevailing road conditions. In general the use of locally available taxi’s and motorbikes is reliable; however it does pose some personal security risk to travellers. As no taxi operators have ‘passenger liability’ insurance. Hence, it is advisable that international travellers include this in any travel insurance.

Freight Forwarding Agents

A number of freight forwarding companies and brokers with varying capacities are operational in South Sudan. The larger operators have good contacts within relevant government departments and access to a variety of logistical services including air, water and land transport providers making their services relatively reliable. The majority of freight forwarding agents are situated in Juba with a smaller number located in other major towns.

Handling Equipment

Handling equipment can be rented from local commercial companies or acquired in the market. Most specialised equipment need to be imported from neighbouring countries however.
Non-standardised pallets can be manufactured in the local market, in general however all wooden and plastic pallets are imported.

Electricity and Power

The Ministry of Energy and Dams is responsible for the development of the country’s electricity infrastructure. In 2012, the ministry established the South Sudan Electricity Corporation (SSEC), which oversees the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity within the country, and most of the state capitals now have some electrical power, commonly referred to as ‘City power’. The in-country power-generating infrastructure consists of large diesel operated power plants and distribution systems. However, the electrical power coverage is limited to these urban areas and prioritized for local administration/government and local hospitals, as the power grid is severely limited. The electricity supply in South Sudan is only partially accessible in certain areas and in these areas the supply is often erratic, and characterised by frequent power outages due to broken power units, or more commonly, a lack of fuel.
The most recently commissioned power plants and electrical distribution systems are situated in Juba, Malakal, Wau, Bor, Yambio, Rumbek and Renk. The power production plant for Juba has been greatly improved in terms of efficiency but still coverage of the town is limited. Malakal has good coverage through large functioning diesel generators. Considering that power generation is largely unreliable and inconsistent it is essential that major organizations have their own power generating capacity and back-up units. Small to large portable generators are readily available in local markets. In 2012, the country had approximately 33MW of installed generating capacity with partial access mainly to the towns Juba, Malakal and Wau.
In 2012, the Government entered into an agreement with the government of Ethiopia to import electricity into the country. The agreement called for the installation of a 230 KV transmission line from Gambela and a 500 KV transmission line from the Grand Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia to South Sudan. The agreement is to come into affect upon the completion of the dam.

Production Unit	Type [1]	Installed Capacity (MW)	Current Production (MW)
Juba (Wartsila)	Diesel	12 MW	Operational
Juba (Cummins)	Diesel	8 MW	Non-Operational
Malakal	Diesel	4.8 MW	Operational

Rumbek	Diesel	2 MW	Non Operational due to severe fuel shortages
Renk (S/Station)	Diesel	40 Mva	Operational

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

South Sudan is one of the most expensive countries in Africa in terms of Internet usage, with an average retail cost of USD$ 4,000 per megabit via satellite. All licenced service providers use satellite-based V-Sat and WiMax technology as the country has no established fibre optics network, nor is it directly connected to East Africa’s internet fibre-optic networks serviced by The East African Marine Systems (TEAMS), Eastern Africa Submarine Cable System (EASSy) and SEACOM providers.
The Ministry of Telecommunication and Postal Services (MOTPS) plays an oversight function and is in charge of regulating and licencing of local telecommunications companies. Currently telecommunications regulations are set to change with the adoption of new regulations in late 2013.Currently there are no national carrier in South Sudan, however the Council of Ministers approved the establishment of a national telecommunications operator in May 2013. In late 2012, the country had five licensed Internet Service Providers and this number continues to grow with an estimated 15 ISPs currently in various stages of operation.

South Sudan, Republic of - 3.7 Waste Management Infrastructure Assessment

Overview

Waste Collection: South Sudan has poor waste collection ratios due to the lack of an integrated solid waste management system. Case in point, only 2.6% (34.3 tons) of 1, 337 tons of solid waste generated in Juba per day is collected (JICA, 2018). In urban areas such as Juba, waste is typically collected by municipal authorities or private companies by use of trucks. However, coverage and frequency of waste collection in urban centres is still inadequate due to limited infrastructure and resources, leading to uncollected waste and improper disposal. In rural areas, waste collection systems are generally lacking, and waste is often disposed of indiscriminately in open ground.

Regulations and Government Bodies: The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the main government body responsible for Solid waste management. The ministry implements waste management activities in the country in coordination with municipal authorities such as the Juba City Council. The “Environmental Management Act of 2012” is the primary legislation governing environmental protection, including waste management Additional regulations include The National Environmental Policy (2015-2025); provides a framework that ensures protection and conservation of the environment and sustainable management of renewable natural resources.

National policy on medical waste management (2011); provides guidance on medical waste management in South Sudan and is actioned by the national medical waste management plan.

Juba City Council by-laws (2013); waste management in the Juba City by-laws is covered under Chapter 3 “Cleaning of Juba City Council”.

Rejaf County By-laws, 2016-2017; waste management in the Rejaf by-laws is covered in clauses 5 and 6 of Chapter 1.

However, it is essential to note that the enforcement and implementation of these regulations face challenges due to limited resources and capacity.

Service Providers: Waste management services in South Sudan are primarily provided by the government and some private companies. City Council authorities are responsible for waste collection in urban areas, although the coverage and quality of services may vary. Private companies also play a role in waste collection, particularly in larger cities; a survey done by JICA established there were 16 registered private waste collection actors in Juba in 2018 (JICA, 2018, p. 21). However, the overall capacity and efficiency of waste management services in the country are limited; this is evident in Juba City Council where only 10 of the registered private actors were operational and all 10 solid waste collection trucks owned by the council had broken down by the time of the survey.However, the overall capacity and efficiency of waste management services in the country are limited; this is evident in Juba City Council where only 10 of the registered private actors were operational and all 10 solid waste collection trucks owned by the council had broken down by the time of the survey.

Landfills: Management of landfills is primarily the responsibility of local authorities, although they lack adequate capacity and resources for proper landfill maintenance. There is no actual data on the number and status of landfills in the country. Many areas rely on open dumping or operate illegal dumping sites without adhering to statutory requirements for example, Juba-Nimule Road has a roadside illegal dumping site that receives up to 8.6 tons of solid waste per day (JICA, 2018).

Existing few legally controlled dump sites remain dilapidated, for example, the perimeter fence at the Juba controlled dump site was vandalized, hence allowing access to hostile waste pickers who openly burn waste and pose a security threat to drivers. In addition, frequent breakdown of bulldozers leads to foul smells from the landfills due to delayed burying of waste.

Recycling Programs: Recycling programs in South Sudan are still in their early stages of development. While there are some private initiatives and small-scale recycling efforts, the overall recycling infrastructure is limited. In addition, the lack of a sustainable financing mechanism has led to the collapse of recycling initiatives led by local innovators.

Challenges: Institutional, social, economic, and technical factors contribute to ineffective solid waste management in South Sudan.

Institutional: Bureaucracy in approval of draft policies and laws regarding solid waste management. Most of these bills get stuck in the draft phase, hence hindering the provision of an adequate framework for the implementation of integrated solid waste management. Political instability also continues to affect the implementation of solid waste management initiatives as most interested private sector partners would fear for their individual safety.

Social: Household waste is not collected at source due to the lack of an integrated solid waste management system, hence most citizens typically dump waste on open ground or by the roadside due to a lack of awareness. This culture is ingrained in residents and contributes to a littered environment.

Economic: Ineffective coordination in financing and accounting. Waste management in Juba is coordinated by the Juba City Council but is broken down into 4 zones to ease service delivery. All four zones have independent accounting systems and act autonomously to each other and to the Department of Environment and Sanitation in the Juba City Council account. Such working arrangements hinder the efficient coordination of solid waste management initiatives.

Technical: Lack of enough expertise to repair specialized vehicles such as compactors causes periodic grounding of the few available solid waste collection fleets reducing service efficiency; spare parts for such vehicles are also not readily available within the local market. The density of paved roads in South Sudan is about 0.2 km for every 1000km2, hence most roads in between homes are muddy especially during the rainy season making it difficult for the fleet to approach waste collection (AFDB).

For more information on waste management company contact details, please see the following link: 4.12 Waste Management Companies Contact List.

Hazardous Waste Disposal

The availability of proper disposal options for hazardous waste in South Sudan is limited, posing significant challenges to the environment and public health. Hazardous waste, including e-waste, medical waste, appliances, air conditioners, refrigerators, oils, petrol, and lubricants, requires specialized handling and disposal due to its potential to harm human health and the environment.

Currently, South Sudan lacks a comprehensive system for safely disposing of hazardous waste. There is a lack of dedicated facilities and infrastructure to handle and treat such waste effectively. As a result, hazardous waste is often disposed of improperly, such as open burning or dumping, which can release harmful substances into the air, soil, and water sources.

The absence of specific regulations and guidelines for managing hazardous waste exacerbates the problem. South Sudan needs to develop and enforce legislation that addresses the proper handling, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. This would involve establishing designated collection points, recycling facilities, and treatment plants to dispose of different types of hazardous waste safely.

Efforts should also focus on raising awareness among the public and industries about the risks associated with improper disposal of hazardous waste and promoting responsible waste management practices. International partnerships and support can be crucial in providing technical expertise, funding, and capacity-building initiatives to help South Sudan develop a robust and sustainable system for hazardous waste management and disposal.

For more information on waste types, please refer to the WREC project.

Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal

The availability of proper disposal options for non-hazardous waste, such as regular trash from camps or compounds, is also limited in South Sudan. The country faces challenges in waste management infrastructure and resources, which affects the proper disposal of non-hazardous waste.

In many areas, non-hazardous waste is often disposed of through open dumping or burning, leading to environmental pollution and health risks. Municipal/City council authorities and private companies involved in waste management may provide some collection services in urban areas, but the coverage and frequency of waste collection may be inadequate.

Regarding wastewater disposal, South Sudan faces challenges in managing black water (from toilets) and grey water (from sinks, showers, and laundry). The lack of proper sewage systems and treatment facilities results in the discharge of untreated wastewater into rivers, streams, or open areas. This can lead to contamination of water sources and the spread of waterborne diseases.

To improve the disposal of non-hazardous waste and wastewater in South Sudan, there is a need for investment in waste management infrastructure, including waste collection systems, treatment facilities, and proper sewage systems. Government support and regulations are necessary to promote responsible waste disposal practices, and public awareness campaigns can help educate the population about the importance of proper waste management and the potential environmental and health impacts of improper disposal.
