Objective:

Assess current viability of logistics operations using the Sobat river corridor from Ethiopia to service Malakal, Upper Nile, humanitarian programmes.

Key Findings:

1) Organisations operating in Upper Nile with supporting/partner programmes in Ethiopia may be well placed to take advantage of alternative Upper Nile transit corridor to Ethiopia for logistics operations.

2) Sobat river operations are served with a good capacity of (max) 30mt light boats, further volume boats are available for transport as needs and river practicability increase during the rainy season.
