Evaluation of the UNMISS contribution to the strengthening the rule of law and accountability in South Sudan_A/78/742
Overview
The Inspection and Evaluation Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) conducted an evaluation of the contribution of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to strengthening the rule of law and accountability in South Sudan from 2018 to 2022.
During the evaluation period, UNMISS operated in a challenging post-conflict context. Barriers to effectiveness cited by respondents included limited political will, persistent cycles of violence and impunity, lack of transparency of public revenues, mistrust among justice actors and citizens, a shrinking civic space and an
impenetrable terrain resulting in limited access to vast swathes of the country.
Overall, UNMISS support was relevant to the exigent needs that the country encountered following the civil war that broke out in 2013, and the consequent signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan in July 2018. However, the Mission’s work with United Nations country team
partners in strengthening the rule of law and accountability could have been more coherent in order to achieve the shared objectives emanating from the Revitalized Agreement, by leveraging each partner’s comparative advantages.
