Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission

Published purpose

This project aims to sustain the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring Evaluation Commission (RJMEC)’s critical role in the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS). This project works to advance the permanent constitution-making process, increase public awareness of the implementation of the R-ARCSS, bolster the RJMEC Secretariat’s engagement with transitional institutions and mechanisms, and enhance RJMEC’s staff capacity. The RJMEC’s mandate under the R-ARCSS is to steer South Sudan through the transitional period until the 2022 planned elections, and to promote provisions implementation as described in this peace agreement. Project activities include: (1) the monitoring and overseeing the implementation of the R-ARCSS and the Reconstituted Transitional Government of National Unity mandate and tasks, including adherence of the Parties to the agreed timelines and implementation schedule; (2) facilitating the establishment and the operationalization of security mechanisms critical to the R-ARCSS; and (3) building the capacity of relevant actors, institutions and mechanisms critical for the successful implementation and effective monitoring of the peace process. A Chairperson heads the RJMEC, supported by a Secretariat.
