He attended early education in South Sudan in the 1950s and early 1960s; and thereafter continued his senior secondary school education at St Mary’s College, Kisubi, Uganda from 1963 to 1967 during his years in exile over the first war period in Sudan (1955-1972). He joined Makerere University in 1968 and graduated with B.Ed. (Honours) degree in March 1972.
Lawrence Tombe has the unusual distinction of having been a cabinet minister, a parliamentarian and a top civil servant, so experiencing public sector governance from the three perspectives. The country he served after the first north-south war (1955-1972) was arguably one of Africa’s most challenging – The Sudan. Mr. Tombe left his ambassadorial position in 1993 after serving in Romania as Sudanese Ambassador for four years; and successfully sought asylum in the UK having exposed to the world human rights violations of the Omer Beshir military regime, a move which the ruling junta then considered a ‘treasonable act’ – hence the reason why he could not go back to the Sudan which resulted in his stay in the UK until today.
Under visionary guidance of Late Hilary Logali, Mr Tombe along others founded ‘Skills for South Sudan’ (SKILLS) in 1994, a humanitarian organisation established to develop capacities of South Sudanese in readiness for peace. Mr Tombe participated for ten years in spurring growth of the programme serving in different management capacities including the skills baseline survey he conducted for the organisation within Southern Sudan from 1999 to 2000, and a comparative carried out in Uganda and Namibia over that period.
Mr Tombe served in various London firms and organisations (Andrew Summers Associates Consultancy, London Rebuilding Society and Royal Institute of Public Administration International Ltd - RIPA), as a management consultant between 1996 and 2004.
Back to South Sudan (2006-2015) after peace was attained in the country, Lawrence Tombe participated at the private sector level in the rebuilding process of the new country; and much later was engaged by government of South Sudan as a governance consultant for one and half years (2014 to mid 2015).voir moins
