The United Nations Mission in South Sudan is financing the renovation and expansion of the airstrip in Rubkona County in the Unity region.  When completed, the airport will greatly facilitate the access of humanitarian partners to assist the population in the area.

As we fly from Bor towards Pibor, we can see her from afar. The whiff of freshly laid tarmac may have been imaginary, but the dirt and gravel road snaking and careening its way through the flat, harsh bush-land below us is very much real, and immensely appreciated.

The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), in collaboration with the Gogrial State Ministry of Education, has launched a renovation project valued at over $49,000, aimed at improving the learning environment for nearly 800 students of Mayen Gumel primary school.
