By Janne Bruvoll, information officer, MS Sudan

21. May 2009

At the annual meeting in February 2009, the partners of MS Sudan elected the MS Sudan Policy Advisory Council (PAC). Prior to the annual meeting, an interim PAC had met on a regular basis but the annual meeting allowed for the first time all partners to participate in the election of the PAC.

 

PAC consists of representatives from partner organisations and development workers as well as independent members and its task is to guide the MS Sudan management in relation to the overall policy and strategy of the programme.

 

The MS Sudan PAC members are:

 

Partner members

Eiyo Margaret, NSEA

Sarah Kiden, CEP

Sokiri Steven Samuel, Kajo Keji Resource Centre

 

Development workers

Camilla Ankerstjerne, training advisor, MS Sudan

Janne Bruvoll, information officer, MS Sudan

Peter Tholstrup, democracy & advocacy advisor, MS Sudan

 

Independent members

Amule Felix, Yei River County (chairman)

John Lomude, BA Development Studies

Abugo Charles Guya, Yei Day Secondary School

 

Lars Anderskouv, director of MS Sudan, is the secretary. All members are elected for a two year term.

 

PAC had its first meeting 14 March 2009, in which Amule Felix, education director at Yei River County, was elected chairman. At the meeting, PAC discussed the training needs of the partners, methods in civic education and the MS Sudan annual meeting.

 

The next PAC meeting will be 12-13 June 2009.
