ABSTRACTThis paper aims to contribute to debates about humanitarian governance and insecurity in post-conflict situations. It takes the case of South Sudan to explore the relations between humanitarian agencies, the international community, and local authorities, and the ways international and local forms of power become interrelated and contested, and to what effect. The paper is based on eight months of ethnographic research in various locations in South Sudan between 2011 and 2013, in which experiences with and approaches to insecurity among humanitarian aid actors were studied. The research found that many security threats can be understood in relation to the everyday practices of negotiating and maintaining humanitarian access. Perceiving this insecurity as violation or abuse of a moral and practical humanitarianism neglects how humanitarian aid in practice was embedded in broader state building processes. This paper posits instead that much insecurity for humanitarian actors is a symptom of the blurring of international and local forms of power, and this mediates the development of a humanitarian protectorate.

This study assessed the influence of humanitarian assistance post conflict interventions measures on reconstruction of public teacher training colleges in South Sudan. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design and a total of 1953 respondents including the principals, tutors and teacher students from 3 registered and operational teacher training colleges in South Sudan. Stratefied random sampling technique was used to select 321 respondents as the sample size. Pilot study was conducted to asses validity and reliability of the instruments of the study. The study collected primary data using questionnaires and interview guides. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages. Besides descriptive statistics, the study used inferential statistics including correlation and regression analysis. The results were presented using Tables and Figures. The study established that humanitarian assistance post conflict interventions measures (p<0.05) were all significant. Therefore, the study rejected the formulated hypothesis in favour of the alternative hypotheses since their p-values were all less than 0.05 as 5 per cent was considered as the level of significance in the study. Based on regression beta coeffecients and the p-values of the individual variables, the study concluded that humanitarian assistance post conflict interventions measures had positive and significant influence on reconstruction of public teacher training colleges. The study recommended that efforts or reconstructing teachers training college cannot bear fruits unless stakeholders including the humanitarian organizations have been actively involved.
