South Sudan

SNV started work in South Sudan in 2005, after the signing of the country’s Comprehensive Peace Agreement. South Sudan’s declaration of independence in 2011 and its official recognition by the UN and the international community was a significant milestone in history. The declaration of independence has further heightened development expectations of the South Sudanese people who now look to their new government to deliver on the much needed improved livelihoods, and public goods and services. Yet many social, economic and political challenges remain amidst opportunities. To that extent unlocking the huge economic potential of this country and delivering the peace dividend is intrinsically linked to tackling the myriad of such socio-economic and political challenges.

SNV’s focus in South Sudan aimed at boosting the productive and marketing capacities of the poor in a manner adapted to the enormous opportunities available in the country. It is for these reasons that we work in the Agriculture and WASH sectors
