dc.description.abstractThis case is about the community engagement practice of JOC Petroleum, a joint venture oil operating company in Sudan. Initially JOC Petroleum corporate community involvement started out as a voluntary initiative. However since Sudan’s secession in July 2011 the voluntary act has now become a requirement to abide to the law of the newly formulated constitution of South Sudan. The aim of this case study is to analyze the community engagement practice in order for JOC Petroleum to sustain its corporate community involvement strategies and comply with the law. Data was collected through face to face interviews with seven interviewees from JOC Petroleum and their foreign partner. In addition JOC Petroleum internal documents were assessed. Gathered information was analyzed with three tools extracted from the engagement literature. The results of the case study show that JOC Petroleum is misguided in considering the community as independent stakeholders. This is due to the interchangeable understanding of the terms “stakeholders” with “community”. As their engagement practice is mainly with the Sudanese authorities. It is suggested for JOC Petroleum to implement a participatory bottom –up approach of community engagement .Through conducting an inclusive, open dialogue that tolerates more insight views for development. The SWOT framework was proposed for JOC Petroleum, to use as a participatory tool to map sustainable strategies between the community and company.en_US
