Traditional methods & (natural) disasters
February 2024. Today was a special day. Special because I had a meeting with five (5) chiefs from which one (1) was an acting paramount chief. Also special, because they were happy to meet with me. In countries like South Sudan, working with local government employees, you need to have at least an understanding about the relationship between local government, municipality and communities. Does local government provide the required services to the communities? And are communities prepared to follow the rules and regulations of local government? Communities in South Sudan are often dissatisfied with local government because they do not provide the services they should provide. Local government is often in a difficult position because they have insufficient budget and manpower. Same with municipality.
