The chairman of the National Constitution Review Committee (NCRC), Akolda M. Tier said that the task of civic education is a challenging one.
“We are required by our terms of appointment to carry out the task of civic education and I believe that this is the most difficult assignment given to us,” he said.
He also cited finances as one of the challenges of the commission. He added that this will hinder the process.
Margret Mathew Deng who is the chairperson of the Civic Education Sub-Committee in the commission said that the workshop was to discuss the manual for the civic education.
She added that education will be in more than two phases and that it will include a national media campaign, trainings and workshop.
Margret said that they also intend to develop a website as one of their strategic plans.
Meanwhile the representatives of the donor community, Ms. Marcia Dawes said that the international community supports the review process and that it is a great opportunity for South Sudan to start a process of where the country should go.
“It also implies a great responsibility for this committee especially the commission to undertake such an important task,” she said.
The commission was mandated to review the interim constitution of South Sudan.
Established in January, Akolda late last year said that they started in July after receiving their budget of about 1.9 million South Sudanese pounds.
He told reporters that the delay in their budget is the reason for their delay to start work and that their lost months be compensated.
The parliament recently extended their mandate for two more years upon request of the commission.
