Collective and Urgent Action Needed to Address Insecurities and Uncertainties

As a developing country, South Sudan is among the countries hit hardest, further compromising its capacity to address systemic problems of state-building, humanitarian crisis, intercommunal violence, a fragile political and security situation, extreme poverty and natural disasters such as flooding and drought.

Joint Statement on the International Women’s Day

On International Women’s Day, we call for a South Sudan in which the rights of all women and girls are secure, and where women can participate safely and meaningfully in decision-making processes at all levels of society.

2021 Annual Report for UNDP South Sudan

As in 2020, 2021 also challenged our lives, work and programme delivery owing to development shocks and the impacts of COVID-19, as well as teething problems of state-building such as intercommunal violence, and a fragile political and security situation.
