The two slaughterhouses in Wau and Rumbek are operational. A technical assessment of the incomplete Rumbek slaughterhouse was conducted in February 2016 and stakeholders agreed on proposed improvements. A draft bill of quantities for upgrading the Rumbek slaughterhouse was prepared. A feasibility study found that commercial slaughterhouses can be financially viable if professionally managed through a public-private partnership model. Lessons from functional slaughterhouses in other areas include establishing a board to make strategic decisions and oversee the private operator, paying the operator a fixed fee per animal, and creating an investment fund managed by the board.

Specifically, it identifies restrictions in partner state laws affecting over 18 capital operations, at least 63 measures restricting trade in services across sectors, and ongoing non-tariff barriers limiting free movement of goods. The report recommends reforms to partner state laws to comply with commitments, as well as

05 16 PRODUCTION SHARING AGREEMENT
Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) are contracts between governments and private companies that allow companies to explore, develop, and produce petroleum found within the nation's borders. PSAs stipulate how costs, production, royalties, taxes, and profits will be allocated. Under a PSA, the private company funds all exploration and development costs. If oil is discovered, the company recovers its costs from a portion of the total oil produced before profits are shared, according to a predetermined ratio, between the company and government. PSAs aim to maximize government revenue while still incentivizing private investment through cost recovery and profit sharing.
THE NATURE OF MINING CONTRACTS
The document discusses the nature and purpose of mining contracts between governments and mining companies. It covers several key points:

Extended producer responsibility (epr)
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach where producers are given responsibility for managing the disposal of products they produce once they are designated as waste. This transfers the costs of waste management from governments to producers. Under EPR frameworks, producers must organize collection and recycling/disposal systems and are responsible for reducing environmental impacts across the product lifecycle. EPR aims to encourage producers to make products more sustainable and recyclable. Plastic Waste Management Rules in India outline EPR provisions where producers, importers, and brand owners must establish waste management systems. EPR implementation requires coordination between many stakeholders like producers, local governments, waste pickers, and pollution control boards.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. Le el of achievement: An agreement was reached on the PPP concept for running of the facilities by the SMARFs for slaughterhouses in Aweil and Kuajok, Wau Municipality for the slaughterhouse in Wau, Rumbek Town Council for the slaughterhouse in Rumbek and Jur River County for the Kangi agricultural warehouse. In order to prepare the ground work for the implementation of the PPP arrangement, AMTIP is establishing a legal framework for each undertaking. To this end, four Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between the respective SMARFs, Municipalities and Town Councils and AMTIP were drafted. The MOUs are guidelines and recommend the collaborative efforts by the three parties (the Ministry, the Municipality and AMTIP) towards the Operation of each facility. Stakeholders will have a chance to point out any issues in a final review workshop before the MoUs are signed. Among other issues, the MoUs propose the Formation of a Board of Trustees (BoT) for each of the four slaughterhouse interventions. Each BoT shall comprise of six members appointed by the parties to the MOU, two from each, the SMARF, Municipality and AMTIP. The BoT shall: o Develop policies and directives for the Operation of the slaughterhouse o Select the private operator o Develop the contents of the agreement between the owner and the private operator o Recommend legal steps against the private operator in case of breach of contract o Oversee the implementation of the contract agreement with the private operator o Determine fees and rent structure for the slaughterhouse operations o Ensure that funds are set aside for future Investments o Approve Terms of Use of the slaughterhouse by the butchers o Be the treasurer of funds, put aside for necessary future Investments for infrastructural development and major maintenance of the slaughterhouse. AMTIP organized workshops to strengthen a good governance structure in Wau, Aweil, Kuajok and Rumbek with participants from SMARFs, Municipal or Town Councils, butchers associations and AMTIP. The workshops were conducted by the GlZ-Programme Strengthening Local Governance and Resilience in South Sudan. The purpose of the workshops was to ensure that each stakeholder agrees, accepts and adheres to the objectives of the slaughterhouse Operation. It also aimed at

In addition, contracts between SMARFs and the former private slaughterhouse operators in Aweil and Kuajok are under review by the GlZ-Programme Strengthening Local Governance and Resilience in South Sudan, and a GIZ contracted lawyer. The purpose of this review is to ensure the contracts are in line with existing laws. Based on lessons learned, the contracts are improved to avoid breach of contract by the owners as well as the respective private operators.
