The Government of Eastern Equatoria State over the weekend officially opened a newly constructed multipurpose community training center and a Police Protection Unit in Magwi County’s Obbo Payam.

The two facilities were constructed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with support from the Government of Japan. The construction of both facilities, according to local authorities, commenced earlier this year. The cost of the facilities was however not divulged.

Dr. Mohamed Abchir, the UNDP Resident Representative, said the facilities are meant to create a conducive environment for voluntary returnees.
