Human Resource Management develops future generation of
human capital to south Sudan country
Introduction:
South Sudan, also called Southern Sudan, country located
in northeastern Africa. Its rich biodiversity includes lush
savannas, swamplands, and rainforests that are home to
many species of wildlife. Prior to 2011, South Sudan was
part of Sudan, its neighbor to the north. South Sudan’s
population, predominantly African cultures who tend to
adhere to Christian or animist beliefs, was long at odds
with Sudan’s largely Muslim and Arab northern
government. South Sudan’s capital is juba.
Country profile:
The Republic of South Sudan became the world’s newest
nation and Africa’s 55th country on July 9,
2011. subsequent shocks that included flooding in parts of
the country, locust infestation, COVID-19 pandemic, and
lower oil prices have changed the outlook over a relatively
short time period and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities
and humanitarian needs.
South Sudan stays in a genuine compassionate emergency
because of the aggregate impacts of long periods of
contention which has obliterated individuals' jobs.
Outrageous degrees of intense food uncertainty endure the
nation over and almost 7.5 million (the greater part of the
populace) needing helpful help and security in 2020. Just
about 4 million individuals remain dislodged by the
compassionate emergency, with almost 1.6 million
individuals uprooted inside and some 2.26 million outcasts
in six neighboring nations. Ladies and youngsters keep on
being the most influenced. A new upsurge in ethnically
spurred viciousness in pieces of the nation may fuel the
philanthropic circumstance on the ground. South Sudan is
one of the most oil-dependent countries in the world, with
oil accounting for almost the totality of exports, 90% of
revenue, and more than one-third of its gross domestic
product (GDP). The country’s GDP per capita in 2014 was
$1,111 dropping to less than $200 in 2017. Outside the oil
sector, livelihoods are concentrated in low productive,
unpaid agriculture and pastoralists work.
Human resource management structure of the country:
Human resources management (HRM) considers that
employees are the company’s most valuable asset.
Therefore, it sets up and supervises various actions to
develop the human capital and talent of a company. It takes
care of employee motivation and wellness, compensations,
benefits, recruitment, organization development, safety,
employee relations and training.

Impact of COVID-19 on Human Resource:

COVID-19 is an undetectable worldwide foe which knows

no race, sex, identity, nor religion: it has uncovered the
primary separation points in all social orders, remembering
for South Sudan where the decimation fashioned by the
pandemic is compounded by a tradition of many years of
furnished clash that has put basic freedoms and the security
of regular people under serious strain. The COVID-19
pandemic has just caused and may keep on catalyzing
increments in brutality by making a window for deft
gatherings to make key military increases or to solidify
power. This emergency has additionally exacerbated the
weakness of the most underestimated South Sudanese,
uncovering the monetary, political, and social crevices in
South Sudanese society. It has uncovered the insufficiency
of the general wellbeing framework and the nonattendance
of any social insurance game plans that would lighten the
enduring of individuals and at last save lives. The
Commission accepts that it is basic to battle COVID-19—
and to contain and forestall any further ascent in diseases.
The emergency, be that as it may, likewise gives South
Sudan's administration reestablished occasions to meet up,
and to serve and ensure the South Sudanese individuals as
per the R-ARCSS. Conquering the pandemic will require
political will and a responsibility with respect to the Unity
Government to work in close association with organs of
common society, including the strict network, to handle the
infection and its results, and to moderate the impacts—
including unintended outcomes—of measures intended to
battle the spread of the sickness.
The Commission notes with grave worry that the pandemic
has exacerbated the generally delicate philanthropic and
common liberties circumstance, including by additional
limiting key rights and opportunities. Basic freedoms
should lie at the core of the Government's general
wellbeing and recuperation systems. The Government
should guarantee that key rights, including financial, social,
and social rights just as common and political rights are
secured all through the cycle. This requires the Government
to incorporate a rights-based way to deal with handling the
pandemic. Requires the Government to integrate a rights-
based approach to tackling the pandemic.
COVID-19 thus poses a serious threat not only to public
health, but also to governance, democracy, and for peace
and security. Systems characterized by weak constitutional
orders, lack of accountability, entrenched impunity, and
historical and structural inequalities have struggled to
respond effectively to the pandemic in compliance with
human rights and the rule of law.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also emerged within a fragile
post-conflict context in South Sudan, characterized by a
dire humanitarian situation, heightened insecurity, alarming
levels of localized violence, and weak public institutions,
infrastructure, laws, policies, and political processes. It also
comes at a juncture within the peace process when
implementation of the process has faltered. While progress
was made in February 2020 towards a Unity Government,
there has been regrettable delay in constituting the
legislature and establishing regional governance structures,
thus contributing to the vacuum in governance. Many of the
envisaged security and political arrangements have not
been established as agreed. The Commission urges the
peace partners to work together to settle these and other
outstanding impasses definitively.
In the meantime, the virus continues to spread in South
Sudan. The Ministry of Health has confirmed 1,916 cases
of COVID-19 infections, 35 deaths due to the virus, and
190 recoveries. There is concern at the possible spread of
the virus in the United Nations Protection of Civilian sites
in Juba and Rubkhona (Unity). In this context, vulnerability
to the pandemic exerts extraordinary pressure on
international humanitarian actors to take the necessary
steps to assist the newly established Unity Government to
counteract these risks. In a time of isolation, quarantining,
and travel bans, however, the delivery of essential
humanitarian aid and medical assistance is severely
compromised. While public health policies for fighting
COVID-19 are necessary to limit the spread of the disease,
they can have dire implications for these humanitarian
challenges. A shortage of health professionals also leaves
the country at acute risk. This has been compounded by the
departure of many humanitarian actors from the country.
South Sudan established a High-Level Task Force to
coordinate the national response to Coronavirus. The Task
Force presented an early opportunity for partners in the
Unity Government to collectively focus on the well-being
of citizens. It was initially constituted only by politicians,
and attracted criticism for not having enough medical
experts or persons with technical knowledge. Furthermore,
during May, each of the members of the nine-person
Special Task Force tested positive for the virus.
Among the most vulnerable persons in South Sudan are
internally displaced persons. Nearly one and a half million
are still living in conditions in which social distancing is
not feasible and access to basic services limited. The
closure of schools has left tens of thousands of children and
youth without access to adequate education. Alternatives
like home schooling or digital classes are simply
unavailable. In these circumstances, the young are more
vulnerable to sexual abuse or to recruitment by both
Government forces and armed opposition groups.
During a time when the justice system has been
decongesting detention facilities due to COVID-19, with at
least 1,479 releases, incidents of arbitrary arrest, detention,
and ill-treatment have also been recorded. Continuing a
pattern documented by the Commission since 2013,
Government forces, including National Security Service
officers, have resorted to physical violence against those
perceived to have broken curfew rules. As with many other
countries, the fear of the virus has also become associated
with foreigners. Although the authorities have taken steps
to curb some of the initial manifestations, xenophobia and
hate speech still persist.
In responding to the pandemic, the Government should
ensure that special attention is paid to those most
vulnerable and those immune-compromised who may be
more susceptible to the transmission of COVID-19 due to
pre-existing comorbidities, including elderly persons,
persons with disabilities, unaccompanied children, and
displaced individuals. The rights to healthcare and the
highest attainable standard of living should similarly be
guaranteed for all citizens and without discrimination.
Further, the State should endeavor to guarantee the right to
food, education, water, and sanitation especially for
vulnerable populations.
Fulfilling these obligations requires that the Government
should take urgent and concrete steps to implement key
provisions of the R-ARCSS which would provide South
Sudanese with a functioning, unified, and integrated
government capable of sustaining effective, transparent,
accountable, and responsive measures to curb the
transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
Powerful administration is basic on the grounds that any
measures to battle the spread of the infection will be
ineffectual except if they can be actualized at the most
minimal degrees of government. The postponement by the
Unity Government accomplices to concur upon another
lawmaking body or to set up the initiative structures at state
and nearby levels has made force vacuums at the sub-
public level right now when authority and a state presence
is generally required. The force vacuums have made it
much harder to convey techniques to address the disturbing
degrees of confined savagery, for example, in Jong lei
State.

The early effect of the novel Coronavirus has been faltering

regarding sway on the economy, the public medical
services framework, and the postponement in setting up the
political foundation as per the R-ARCSS in South Sudan.
The Commission is worried that in managing the infection
– which is totally reasonable given the extraordinary idea
of the emergency – almost certainly, the results of the long
term equipped clash and compassionate emergencies that
pre-existed this pandemic will endure and be ignored.

Compare with Bangladesh human resource

management:
In Bangladesh Human Resources Management was
conceived in December 2001 with the mission to promote
the growth of human resources professionals in the country.
The Society intends to provide leadership through
education, networking, shared knowledge and transfer of
best practices across all the sectors.
With the lawful status of an Association of Persons, the
Bangladesh Society for Human Resource Management was
enrolled by the Registrar of Joint Stock Company under the
Societies Registration Act, 1860. A 15-part Executive
Committee, all HR experts across the areas, is liable for
generally speaking administration of the Society. Since its
proper initiation in April 2002 by the then Honorable
President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Also, in
south Sudan Refers to the Management of representatives
(Civil Servants) or faculty for the accomplishment of the
goals of the association just as addressing the necessities of
the workers. As expressed before at the start of this applied
structure, HRP is the beginning stage of the enlistment of
HR. It is hence of quintessence to talk about HRP and its
significant segments according to enlistment in the public
area. This is on the grounds that it gives enrollment
specialists and divisions the kind of staff the organization
may require, in what numbers and at what times
subsequently encouraging enlistment techniques. Human
Resource Planning (HRP), like some other type of
arranging, is an unfortunate chore. For this situation, the
end is to make sure about the Human Resource for the
association to accomplish collaborate targets. Human
Resource Provision (enlistment) in this way initiates with
Human Resource assurance, a cycle that follows sorting
out. Human Resource Planning basically, is an orderly way
to deal with guarantee that the opportune individuals will
be in the perfect spot at the perfect time. It could be viewed
as a system for the association, use, and improvement and
safeguarding of an undertaking or public foundation's
Human Resources. The Purpose is to assess a cycle by
which a public organization can move from its 12 current
Human Resource position to its ideal Human Resource
position, and doing things which bring about both the
foundation and the individual accepting most extreme long
– run advantage. To sum things up, HRP then can be
viewed as a bunch of exercises intended to cause accessible
the essential number of individuals with the important
capabilities to understand the association's objectives
alongside the interests of individual workers. In accordance
with this clarification of HRP, Dolan and Schuler (1987:41)
gives that HRP can be seen as the way toward creating and
actualizing plans and projects to guarantee that the correct
number and sorts of people are accessible at the opportune
time and spot to play out the work important to accomplish
a public area foundation's destinations.

Conclusion:
South Sudan becomes an independent country, after over
20 years of guerrilla warfare, which claimed the lives of at
least 1.5 million people and more than four million were
displaced.  The Commission on Human Rights in South
Sudan welcomes the renewal of its mandate, as it provides
an opportunity to continue working on building sustainable
peace in South Sudan and to support the Unity Government
and the people of South Sudan in their efforts to address the
COVID-19 pandemic.
