Revolutionizing Freight Forwarding in South Sudan: SSFFA Introduces New Constitution
The South Sudan Freight Forwarders Association (SSFFA) has taken a significant step towards enhancing the efficiency and professionalism of the sector by adopting a new constitution. The launch ceremony, attended by government officials and industry experts, highlighted the importance of this legislative framework in establishing a solid foundation for operations.
This updated constitution not only ensures that all activities are conducted in accordance with the law but also promotes transparency and accountability within the industry. By addressing the evolving needs of the sector, the amendments introduced in the document aim to set new standards for freight forwarders and their clients, emphasizing the importance of legal and ethical practices.
SSFFA President Mawa Moses Nigo expressed optimism about the future, emphasizing the association’s commitment to promoting transparency and efficiency within the industry. The new legal framework seeks to redefine industry standards, enhance structural development, and foster collaboration amongst members.
With the aim of improving trade, fostering economic development, and enhancing competitiveness within the East African Community (EAC) region, SSFFA is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by clearing agents in South Sudan. By streamlining operations, reducing bureaucratic hurdles, and providing capacity building opportunities, the association is poised to drive economic growth and development in the region.
The new constitution, which is gender-sensitive and inclusive, signals a promising new chapter for the freight forwarding industry in South Sudan. With the potential to attract foreign investment, create job opportunities, and boost the local economy, SSFFA’s efforts are crucial in facilitating the smooth movement of goods across borders in a landlocked country.
