The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the National Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission on Monday handed over two new facilities - a Primary Health Care Center and a school - to the Tirrangore community in Eastern Equatoria State.
The facilities worth more than (USD)250,000 were funded by UNMISS through its disarmament, demobilization and reintegration projects.
The Chairman of the National DDR Commission, William Deng Deng, described the project as first of its kind. He said it was a significant boost to a community that had been shattered by war. And added that one way DDR can pay back the communities is to give them facilities like these -- schools, health centers

The acting head of UNMISS’ DDR Section, Mustpaha Tejan-Kellah told journalists that the two buildings would enhance service delivery to the community. He added that the project was also a way of encouraging the community to embrace and welcome ex-combatants back into society.
