Land acquisition along the pipeline route
Although the Pipeline will pass through a sparesely populated part of South Sudan near the border with Sudan parrellel to the White Nile and eventually crossing the Nile and into Melut County, Upper Nile State; there are still some small villages on the pipeline right of way.
The land required for the 16m wide Right of Way and construction of aboveground facilities will require compensation and relocation of communities living around the pipeline route.
The land compensation and relocation process will comply with all local and national laws and regulations of the Republic of South Sudan.
All land owners and users living around the pipeline route will be treated with respect, dignity and compensated fairly in coordination with the national, state, county and local authorities.
Local Content
In order to contribute to the creation of socio-economic value within the host communities, maximising local content engagement will be one of the cornerstones of the project.
The local content approach will involve creating employment, developing local skills and capacity, transferring know-how, collaborating with local suppliers and subcontractors and enhancing local entrepreneurship with its operations.
The EPC and O&M Contractor shall be mandated to provide due consideration for local subcontractors, suppliers and vendors in regards to engineering, design, supply of materials, fabrication and civil works.
