All selected candidates will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Since the December 2013 crisis the Republic of South Sudan continued to face a worsening spiral of humanitarian development economic and security crises of unprecedented proportions. The country is riveted by a mutually reinforcing conflict dynamic that involves several actors. Several drivers of conflict some new and others heightened by the conflict have emerged around poorly managed decentralization corruption marginalization ethnic rivalries and exclusionary politics and unaddressed local grievances that have fed localized militias in the country. The implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) made some progress. Following the formation of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) in February 2020 the formation of the reconstituted transitional legislature at national and state levels was completed in 2022. However overall progress in the implementation of the Agreement has been slow e.g. with regards to advancing the constitution-making and electoral process as well as the deployment of the Necessary Unified Forces. Due to these delays a Roadmap to a peaceful and democratic end to the transitional period of the R-ARCSS was adopted extending the transitional period to last from February 2022 to February 2025. The Transitional Government of National Unity has continued to prioritize reconciliation efforts e.g. through the National Dialogue which was concluded in November 2020. Furthermore the R-ARCSS has underscored the requirement to establish a Commission on Truth Reconciliation and Healing (CTRH) as a necessary mechanism to foster healing reconciliation and address transitional justice issues. The Council of Ministers endorsed the draft statute and memorandum of understanding of the Hybrid Court for South Sudan (HCSS) in December 2017. The process for public consultations for the establishment of the CTRH was launched in April 2022 and concluded in all 10 states in the following year. UNDP is in implementing its Country Programme Document (CPD 2022-2025) aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF 2023-2025). The programme seeks to address the complex development challenges facing the country – persistent conflict and fragility recurrent shocks and stresses and weak institutions and economic instability. The CPD focuses on three interlinked and mutually reinforcing pillars: (a) strengthened peace infrastructures and accountable governance; (b) inclusive risk-informed economic development; and (c) strengthened institutional and community resilience. Decades of conflict in South Sudan have led to widespread proliferation of weapons threatening community safety and limiting socioeconomic development. However the signing of the R-ARCSS in September 2018 and eventual formation of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) and the adoption of the roadmap renewed hopes of peace in the country. The principal objective of this programme is to contribute to eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions and keeping people out of poverty as well as to building resilience to crises and shocks to safeguard development gains. The immediate challenges facing the Country Office is implementation of the ambitious programme and contribution towards recovery and sustainable peace in a context of low human and institutional capacities embryonic institutions a transitional government high levels of poverty and low levels of human development.
