INTRODUCTION
A. The Campaign Narrative
Majority of the population in Juba city is living in slum conditions [research will be undertaken
to validate this with figures and percentages per each of the five Payams of Juba City].
Armed night killings and armed robbery has become an order of the day in Juba town. This
particularly occurs in areas where homesteads are not secured with fence and where police patrol
services are scares. If you have a relative, friend or colleagues in the one of the expanding slums
in Juba, your heart beats every night, because you do not know how they will wake up in the
morning. The slums areas are immediate preys to the brutal robbers because they lack road
access, their homesteads are not protected with giant barbed wires, and they even do not have
gates to alert them of an intruder before their doors are knocked by the killers.
[Research will be undertaken to indicate percentage of slums with no road access and the impact
of this on slum dwellers, including testimonies from some slum dwellers].
Juba as a city survives on water supplied by tankers delivering water throughout the day.
However, due to lack of access by tanker trucks, most of the slum areas suffer from water
shortage, even though River Nile guarantees equitable access of water to all residents in Juba.
There are some areas with water pumps, but these are often in sufficient for the already
congested population of the slum areas.
The slum areas also suffer most in terms of sanitation. Some of the slum areas, for example
Lobulyet, are home to streams which are highly contaminated with human wastes. Sometimes
the residents use these streams for portable water. Therefore, when diarrhoeal disease outbreaks
begin, for example the ones that occurred in 2006 and 2007, where [XX number of people died:
this will be verified through research] in Juba, it is the slums areas that become the first and
worst affected.
Besides, the living standard of slum dwellers is generally low. There is no proper housing, no
toilets and other sanitary amenities.
During awareness about the referendum that led to the secession of South Sudan from the North,
many musicians have contributed greatly and their voices have been heard and personalities
respected until today. South Sudanese love for music has never been outweighed. The campaign
will therefore utilize the power of music to mobilize those who and those whose relatives,
friends, in-laws and colleagues reside in slum areas and general philanthropists to appeal to the
government and civil society organizations to provide better living conditions to slums dwellers.

B. The Organization Leading the Campaign
SCD is a registered, national non-governmental organization in South Sudan. It aims to reduce
violence and poverty among youth by empowering them to effectively transform conflict and
sustainably improve livelihood. It accomplishes this by working in partnership with youth
organizations to provide knowledge, facilitate exchange, networking and dialogue and advocate
for enabling environment.
II.
CONTEXT
A. Problem Definition
There is growing number of slums in Juba and associated poor living conditions for slum
dwellers. Juba has become a fast expanding metropolitan city that attracts people from across the
globe. Despite this influx, there is no proper housing, and land acquisition is an issue for those
who cannot afford it, as prices for land have hiked up. These conditions have forced many
returnees and migrants from the neighbouring countries and other areas outside Juba to reside in
slums with poor conditions of living.
There are (XX, no numbers available yet) total number of slums in Juba.
B. Manifestation of the Problems in Slum Areas
Typical of any slum in the world, the slum areas in Juba exhibit night robbery, prostitution, drug
trafficking and abuse, poor sanitation and poor shelter [more research will be undertaken to
ascertain this].

C. Origin of the problem
In 1956 Juba had a population of 10, 600 people. Now 2010 it has an estimated population of
over 500, 000 people, and majority living without secure land tenure and are hence under
constant threat of eviction. Many have experienced repeated demolitions of their homes, and
have
in
the
process
been
relocated
to
the
outskirts
of
the
city
(http://www.odi.org.uk/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/6511.pdf).
During the 21 years of war, Juba was left with no proper and adequate infrastructure. During the
period of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement until today, there has been an influx of migrants
from countries in Africa and other parts of the world who are mostly youth seeking employment
and business opportunities in South Sudan. Due to limited housing, most of these migrants end
4
up in slums with poor living conditions (http://jennysouthsudan.blogspot.com/2011/05/everydaylife-in-juba.html).
Juba is home to majority of the South Sudanese returnees from the Diaspora, particularly
returnees from Khartoum, Israel, East Africa, USA, Australia, Canada and UK. Majority of these
returnees prefer to live in Juba because of its relative metropolitan nature [research will be
undertaken to verify these]. There is a total number of [XX, numbers are not available yet]
returnees now residing in Juba.
South Sudan is also a rapidly developing city with a lot of development going everywhere. This
has often caused forced or voluntary eviction of residents within the centre of the city into the
peripheries, where slum conditions are rampant. The peripheral areas not only suffer problems of
night robbery, other criminal activities and poor sanitation, but they also suffer limited access to
services, including transport, health care and water supply.
D. Reasons for Expansion and Problems of Slums






Limited housing in relation to number of people living in the city forcing people to go for
whatever is available (lack of urbanization policy for guide establishment of urban
settlements).
Hiking prices for rent of houses and sale of plots causing people choose cheaper locations
(slums) for residence.
Lack of employment, lower wages making and irregularity of payment of salaries forcing
people to opt for cheaper locations.
Fear of land grabbing which causes fear of offering rent or selling land to people.
Insecurity, limited job opportunities and lower quality of life in areas outside Juba City,
forcing people migrate to Juba (a research has been proposed to identify these).
Lack of roads causing limited supply of basic services such as water supply and police
patrols.
E. Interventions Undertaken to Curb the Expansion and Problems of Slums
Many organizations are based in Juba; however, their field activities are located outside Juba.
Those operating in Juba are mainly capacity building and health related organizations. There is
an organization that works with street children; however, there are no interventions related to
prevention of slums or advocacy for better conditions of living for slum dwellers (mapping of
actors has been proposed).
The government has been implementing series of demolition in the city with a goal of expanding
development. However, it had its own implication of creating more slums at the outskirts where
the people whose houses have been demonized are dumped.
5
Justice Africa UK is developing a project concept note with a group of indigenous civil
organizations to advocate better conditions of living for (rights of) slum dwellers.
F. Persons Affected Most by the Expansion and Problems of Slums
All people with low income are affected by the growing of slums in Juba.
However, internally displaced persons and returnees are most at risk. This is because they lack
stable source of income for sustaining their lives in the city and may be starting new lives in the
city with limited available resources (XX, data is still missing on this and research is being
proposed).
G. Frequency of the problem
The problem of expansion of slums is a continuous phenomenon.
H. Impact of the problem
The problem of slums expansion and associated poor living conditions for slum dwellers not
only impacts negatively on the slums dwellers, but this also impacts on the whole population in
Juba. Night robberies, drug trafficking, money faking, sexual exploitation and organized crimes
are some of the negative impacts of slums expansion and lack of better living conditions for slum
dwellers (a research has been proposed confirm these).
Therefore, reduction in expansion in slums and assurance of better living for slum dwellers in
one way to reducing these impacts (more information on comparative evidence is needed—other
interventions undertaken somewhere).

Background
During the 21 years of war, Juba was left with no proper and adequate infrastructure. During the
period of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement until today, there has been an influx of migrants
from countries in Africa and other parts of the world who are mostly youth seeking employment
and business opportunities in South Sudan. Due to limited housing, most of these migrants end
up in slums with poor living conditions (http://jennysouthsudan.blogspot.com/2011/05/everydaylife-in-juba.html).

Brief
Posters
Campaign Objectives
1. To lobby the general public in Juba to participate in the effort to lobby the Ministry of
Housing and Physical Planning to develop urbanization policy that seeks to prevent and
address problems of slum in South Sudan, particularly Juba.
2. To lobby the general public in Juba to participate in the effort to lobby the Ministry of Roads
and Bridges to construct roads to provide access to slums areas in Juba.
Campaign Message
10
For Ministry of Housing and Physical Planning to establish an urbanization policy, the Minister
needs to know that establishment of an urbanization policy will prevent expansion of slums and
reduce associated criminal activities, and that this will make the city habitably calm. Therefore,
this raises the profile of the Minister of Housing and Physical Planning, guaranteeing future
appointment into a point or progression into higher positions.

Policy Brief
Expansion and problems of slums in Juba, an urgent concern!
“[XX %: this will be verified through research] of the people in Juba live in slums. This may
mean, everyone living in Juba has at least a relative, friend or colleague living in a slum area.
Like any dignified person, the people living in slums need protection from crimes and spread of
diseases and better housing and quality of life through an action we cannot ignore.”
Introduction
The fact that youth constitute 72% of the population in South Sudan means youth are pillars of
the nation and important players in the underdevelopment or development of the nation. For this
reason, special attention needs to be focused on this segment of the society.
Expansion of slums and associated problems facing slums
The problem of slums expansion and associated poor living conditions for slum dwellers not
only impacts negatively on the slums dwellers, but this also impacts on the whole population in
Juba. Night robberies, drug trafficking, money faking, sexual exploitation and organized crimes
11
are some of the negative impacts of slums expansion and lack of better living conditions for slum
dwellers (a research has been proposed confirm these).
During the 21 years of war, Juba was left with no proper and adequate infrastructure. During the
period of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement until today, there has been an influx of migrants
from countries in Africa and other parts of the world who are mostly youth seeking employment
and business opportunities in South Sudan. Due to limited housing, most of these migrants end
up in slums with poor living conditions (http://jennysouthsudan.blogspot.com/2011/05/everydaylife-in-juba.html).
Juba is home to majority of the South Sudanese returnees from the Diaspora, particularly
returnees from Khartoum, Israel, East Africa, USA, Australia, Canada and UK. Majority of these
returnees prefer to live in Juba because of its relative metropolitan nature [research will be
undertaken to verify these]. There is a total number of [XX, numbers are not available yet]
returnees now residing in Juba.
The cause for expansion of slums and associated problems affecting people living in slums
are:
 Limited housing in relation to number of people living in the city forcing people to go for
whatever is available (lack of urbanization policy for guide establishment of urban
settlements).
 Hiking prices for rent of houses and sale of plots causing people choose cheaper locations
(slums) for residence.
 Lack of employment, lower wages making and irregularity of payment of salaries forcing
people to opt for cheaper locations.
 Fear of land grabbing which causes fear of offering rent or selling land to people.
 Insecurity, limited job opportunities and lower quality of life in areas outside Juba City,
forcing people migrate to Juba (a research has been proposed to identify these).
 Lack of roads causing limited supply of basic services such as water supply and police
patrols.
Why prevention of expansion of slums and aversion of associated problems affecting people
living in slums is important:
South Sudan is also a rapidly developing city with a lot of development going everywhere. This
has often caused forced or voluntary eviction of residents within the centre of the city into the
peripheries, where slum conditions are rampant. The peripheral areas not only suffer problems of
night robbery, other criminal activities and poor sanitation, but they also suffer limited access to
services, including transport, health care and water supply. Because of this, formulation of
Urbanization Policy will inform all stakeholders working on urban issues and this will maximize
response to expansion of slums and problems affecting slums in Juba, including improvement of
housing and roads.
12
Recommendations
 The Minister of Housing and Physical Planning should establish Urbanization Policy seeking
to prevent expansion of slums and address effects of slums.
 The Minister of Roads and Bridges should construct roads in order to provide access to urban
areas in Juba.
