Some personal insight:
·
This is a large program, very busy covering two counties of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state (Aweil North and Aweil
West Counties).
·
Good team as well.
·
We are 65km from Aweil town which is a 2 hour flight from Juba on WFP planes.
·
Living arrangements: compound with expat and relocatable national staff - about 23 of us right now. We have
houses, some have tents.
·
Food provided - we're working to improve that! But it is better than a month ago. Little fruit and limited veggies
so takes some adjustment.
