A team from the National Ministry of Energy and Dams, visited Yei River County to conduct a comprehensive assessment for the development of a solar power plant.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The team included officials from the World Bank and other donors of the Yei Power Solar project.<\/p>\n The main reason of the visit was to verify land documentation and engage with local stakeholders to ensure a smooth project implementation.<\/p>\n Yei River County Commissioner Emmanuel Taban Seme stated that necessary land documentation has been submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Dams.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Richard Lugala, County Director of Land and Housing, commends the team for visiting Yei to gain firsthand knowledge of the land documentation process, which has already been completed.<\/p>\n He revealed that about two acres have been designated for the construction of the project.<\/p>\n He emphasizes that, in accordance with South Sudan’s land policy, the land belongs to the community.<\/p>\n Lugala said the primary objective of the visit was to validate the environmental and social framework of the land earmarked for the World Bank’s donated supplies in Yei.<\/p>\n Jesferson P. Dan, an environmental specialist, explained that the team’s primary objective was to assess the environmental and social impact of the project and to ensure that land documentation was accurate and transparent.<\/p>\n This will help prevent potential conflicts and ensure the project’s long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n Jimmy Jeke, a member of the assessment team, stated that it was important to secure government-owned land to streamline the process and avoid complications with donors.<\/p>\n He noted that thorough technical surveys and assessments are essential before the power plant’s construction can begin.<\/p>\n Drabuga Henry, a GBV official, who was also in the team said he was there to address potential gender-based violence issues that may arise during the project’s implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By James innocent A team from the National Ministry of Energy and Dams, visited Yei River County to conduct a comprehensive assessment for the development of a solar power plant.
