Content_paragraphs:  The parties to the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in
  
  the Republic of South Sudan made progress on the formation of the Revitalized
  
  Transitional Government of National Unity. On 30 December, the President of South
  
  Sudan, Salva Kiir, appointed deputy governors for six states. The incumbent
  
  Transitional Government of National Unity was allocated Jonglei, Western Bahr
  
  el-Ghazal and Western Equatoria while the Sudan People’s Liberation
  
  Movement/Army in Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) was allocated Eastern Equatoria,
  
  Lakes and Unity. On 22 January, Mr. Kiir appointed deputy governors from the Other
  
  Political Parties coalition for Warrap, Northern Bahr el-Ghazal and Central Equatoria.
  
  Significantly, SPLM/A-IO and the Other Political Parties coalition adhered to the 35
  
  per cent quota for women in their appointments. The reconstitution of the Transitional
  
  National Legislative Assembly and the appointment of the Council of States,
  
  however, remained pending. The absence of county commissioners continued to
  
  affect the provision of social services, conflict mitigation and humanitarian action.
