PROJECT PAPER
SOUTHERN MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

Project Development

The PID for this project, prepared inOctober 1977, recommended

a grant, inthe amount of $499,805, to strengthen the Yambio

Institute for Agricultural Technicians. When the PID was reviewed

inDecember 1977, the Project Committee supported AID assistance to

Yambio, but found that the recommended assistance was underfunded.

The Committee recommended a substantial financial and geographic expan­
sion of the project and suggested that the name be changed from

"Yambio Agricultural.Institute" LO "Southern Manpower Development.'

The Committee also expressed a desire that the project become a

"springboard" for greater AID involvement inSouthern Sudan.7

Accordingly, the project proposed inthis Paper has greatly

expanded upon the original PID. Ithas increased the financing for

the Yamblo Institute and has added two new components to the project,

one aimed at strengthening the Rumbek Agricultural Training Center,

the other involving assistance to the Ministry of Agriculture inJuba.

An additional "logistics" component has been added inorder, first, to

support the activities inthis project, second, to lay the foundation

for greater AID involvement inthe development of Southern Sudan.

Recommendation

Inorder to strengthen the human resource base inthe agricultural

sector of Southern Sudan, itisrecommended that a grant inthe amount

of $5,260,000 be authorized for this project. Financing should cover

four years, beginning in FY 1978 and ending inFY 1981.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION2

Background and Goal

The long-term goal of this project isto increase the productivity

and income of traditional farmers inSouthern Sudan. Two of the prin­
cipal agricultural and developmental goals of the Southern Regional

Government (SRG), as described inthe current Six-Year Plan (1978-1983),

are to achieve self-sufficiency infood crops and to increase the pro­
duction of cash crops. Most of the cui-rent agricultural production

schemes inthe South are large estate-type projects. Although these

2 This project has been prepared inaccordance with the revised PP

guidelines inHandbook 3 effective February 15, 1978.

projects will be continued, the SRG, inorder to achieve the goals of

the Six-fear Plan, has broadened its strategy to target developmental

assistance directly at smallholders. This strategy, while demonstrably

rare (ifficult to pursue than one based exclusively on large schemes,

appears more likely to help achieve the government's complementary

goals of sustained growth with equity.

Inthe agricultural environment nf the South, there are a n
umber

of interlocking problems that must be addressed inattempting to

deliver developmental benefits to smallholders. Many of these problem

categories --lack of a research base for generating, testing and

adapting improved technologies, lack of fanner access to agricultural

inputs and information, lack of markets or access to markets to absorb

surpluses, lack of trained manpower to disseminate and apply modern

agricultural knowledge --are common throughout Africa. But during the

protracted civil conflict-that ravaged the Southern Sudan between 1955

and 1972, the magnitude of these problems was greatly increased. Among

the most deleterious effects of the disturbances was an almost total

breakdown of educational services, the consequence of which has been to

seriously retard the emergence of a skilled and trained human resource

base inthe Region. Realizing that human resources are the backbone of

any developmental activity, the SRG has focused on the lack of skilled

manpower as the critical bottleneck tQ the achievement of the objectives

of its agricultural development plan.

The AID-funded Southern Manpower Development Project will

specifically address this constraint, with reference to the unique

situation of the South. Inthe agriculture sector, human resource

problems manifest themselves inseveral ways:

1. Absolute shortages of trained manpower, especially at the

technician and field worker levels;

2. inadequate or misdirected training of available manpower;

and

3. lack of planning and administrative capabil;ties, resulting

inunsatisfactory use of available human resources.

Because of inconsistencies injob classifications and titles,

and because of the various budgetar categories (intwo different

1
Ministries as well as special projects) from which salaries are paid,

the exact number of agricultural personnel in the Southern Region is
