STORYLINE:
Japanese Contingent Engineer Company of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) are helping build roads and bridges in areas with very little basic infrastructure in South Sudan.
As part of the ongoing collaboration between the United Nations and the Government of South Sudan the Japanese Engineers are repairing a 2.5 KM stretch of the Jebel road in Juba town a road with heavy traffic.
Sergeant Konioka from the Engineering unit said that he is happy to contribute his expertise to help the people of South Sudan.
SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Sergeant Konioka Joint Coordination Office, JAPCON:
“This rehabilitation is in order to repair a collection of roads between Tomping site and UN Headquarters; however it is very important to the local community and very beneficial for the people here.”
South Sudan, a country which stretches across almost 240,000 square miles, has just about 300 km of paved roads and most of the country is linked only by dirt tracks which are impassable during the rain season.
Ojja Moses, a BodaBoda (Motorbike) driver uses the Jebel road regularly and said that it is nice to see the UNMIS help the citizens clear the road because there was a lot of accident on the very busy road.

The scope of road construction involves repair and rehabilitation of Jebel road, cambering, grading, cutting and filling necessary places along the road. Heavy rains in the past days have seen the condition of road going from bad to worse.

Japanese Contingent Engineer Company of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan are carrying out spot maintenance as necessary along with providing appropriate drainage channels to ensure smooth flow of natural rainwater to avoid future deterioration.
The road repair that started on 6 August 2012 will be completed in six weeks. The Japanese contingent arrived in South Sudan in February 2012.
