The various armed forces have been accused by the UN of rape and sexual violence against women and children including killings since outbreak of conflict in December 2013.
"They (women) want to make sure that they take full advantage of the 35 percent women participation in the implementation of the revitalized agreement," said Mlambo-Ngcuka.
The team that included Specioza Wandera Kazibwe, the co-chair of the Network of AU Women in Conflict Prevention and Mediation visited protection of civilian sites in the Bentiu town of the northern Unity state.
Smail Chergui, the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security said that everybody especially the civil population are increasingly hopeful and demanding implementation of the revitalized agreement President Salva Kiir signed with rebel leader Riek Machar and other opposition parties.
Previous agreements have collapsed including pacts on cessation of hostilities like during outbreak of renewed fighting in July 2016 weakened the 2017 peace agreement.
"I think there is a recognition that the level of fighting as compared with last year over a certain period of time has decreased and at the same time the reality we still see some hot spots of violence. We recognize that there can be challenges in achieving total cessation of hostilities." said Chergui.
"We as UN and AU are ready to help South Sudan in security sector reforms we are encouraged by the measures being taken by government but very important is the fact that the two chiefs of defense forces have already met in Khartoum and started mapping out unified army," he added.
