Synopsis (short abstract) The objective of the proposed project is to develop a market with modern facilities and atmosphere to increase trade and bring economic benefits to the project beneficiaries and the country as well. The environmental and social impact assessment of the Project ascertains that the Project is likely to cause some few but not significant adverse environmental and social impacts. However, the adverse impacts identified can be readily addressed by some embedded control measures in the engineering design of the Project as well as additional mitigation measures as suggested in the Environmental and Social Management Plan. The Project received favorable support from local people and other stakeholders during consultations and they anticipated numerous benefits as a result of the project.

The proposed construction of the JMM covers 7 200 m2 of land within Juba City. The design of the market will be determined based on the outcome of the feasibility study. Through Juba City Council, an alternate location for the vendors/traders presently operating on the land where the market will be built has been identified and negotiated.
