Cluster Policy Approach and the Benefits to the Internally Displaced Persons and Migration Crises in Juba-South Sudan

Abstract

The purpose of any United Nations policy decision or document is to provide guidance to an efficient, effective and better coordinated approach to operations and activities within its humanitarian and development interventions to any country, system or situation as the need arises. This paper provides to the general public, researchers, the United Nations members, donors, governments and other stakeholders with a view based on analysis of evidence from respondents that have examined the internally displaced persons phenomenon  and the migration crises and how the humanitarian-development nexus in policy and programme have worked efficiently in Juba South Sudan.  Using different approaches to achieve the aim, the Delphi techniques was deployed through the use of google docs questionnaire administration for two rounds on twelve (12) United Nations agencies, funds, and programmes. One hundred and forty experts interviewed and analysed in Juba and a total of fifty-six (56) respondents graciously provided feedbacks. The finding proved that agencies, funds and programmes perform better around the nexus with the development and humanitarian interventions. Hence the need to encourage more coordinated and pooled arrangements like the  ‘‘One UN’’cluster systems, and policy frameworks as a major guide to operations to support the states structures to meet people’s immediate humanitarian and development  needs while at the same time reducing the risks often and vulnerability associated with post-conflict reconstruction efforts, displacements and migrations.
