Draft UNHRC Proposal on South Sudan -- 2
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
Background and Context
South Sudan has remained in an extended transitional governance framework for several years following internal conflict and peace agreements. National elections have been repeatedly postponed, while key institutional reforms — including security sector unification and electoral preparedness — remain incomplete.
This prolonged transition has contributed to:
Restrictions on effective political participation
Limited civic space for opposition, civil society, and media
Erosion of public confidence in constitutional processes
Regional and continental actors, including the African Union, have expressed ongoing concern regarding governance timelines and institutional readiness.
