LM International South Sudan is looking for a personate individual or firm in South Sudan to conduct a project feasibility study for ‘Improving the quality of life and resilience of vulnerable and underserved target communities in Yambio and Aweil East counties of Western Equatoria and Northern Bahr El Ghazel states’.
1. Organization background
LM International South Sudan is the country office of Läkarmissionen (LM International), a non-profit, faith-based global Swedish foundation committed to sustainable poverty alleviation from a human rights perspective. Operating in over 25 countries across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, LM International focuses on fragile states and triple nexus contexts. The South Sudan Country Office, formerly known as International Aid Services (IAS), was established in 1989 and is registered with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) under registration number 103. The organization works in the thematic areas of Social and Economic Inclusion, Health, Education, and WASH, employing needs-based and rights-based approaches that emphasize accountability and legal obligations of duty bearers.
2. Background and Context
Since 2022, LM International has implemented an integrated development response in Western Equatoria (Yambio) and Northern Bahr el Ghazal (Aweil East), addressing critical needs in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Protection. These interventions have built on community engagement, strengthened access to essential services, and contributed to social stability in highly vulnerable settings.
The current project is scheduled to conclude in June 2026. To ensure program continuity, capitalise on operational experience, and embed lessons learned from ongoing implementation, LM International has prepared a new integrated proposal for continued WASH, FSL and Protection programming in the same counties. The proposal includes a targeted expansion into additional villages within Yambio and Aweil East counties, maintaining geographic coherence while responding to evolving needs.
A feasibility study will be conducted prior to proposal submission to assess the relevance, potential effectiveness, and success factors for the planned interventions. The findings of this study will serve a dual purpose: (i) as justification for the project design and strategic choices, and (ii) as the baseline against which project outcomes and impact will be measured throughout implementation.
3. Purpose and objectives of the feasibility study
The feasibility study aims to:
-
Provide the private German operator and local partner with a sound basis for decision-making on whether to proceed with the project proposal.
-
Assess whether the planned project approach is likely to achieve the intended changes under existing conditions, by reviewing the proposal and clarifying prerequisites, opportunities, and risks.
-
Identify possible optimizations to the project design including alternative or additional measures, improved impact logic, realistic assumptions, and risk mitigation strategies.
-
Provide concrete recommendations for refinement of the project concept, including an impact matrix, measurement/monitoring framework, and stakeholder engagement plan.
