As the world marks the International Day of Peace, we look at what this year’s theme, “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” means for South Sudan.How can communities contribute to lasting peace? What role can locally led peacebuilding play alongside national peace efforts?David Vincent, Deputy Team Leader of the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund, joins Conflict Advisers Cosmas Ladu and Harry Stables from the British Embassy in Juba to discuss the role of communities and ordinary people in building peace.
As South Sudan prepares for elections, what role will young people play in the country’s political and electoral process?Proposed amendments to the National Elections Act provide for 50 percent of seats to be elected through geographical constituencies, 35 percent for women through proportional representation and 15 percent through party lists. But there is no specific allocation for youth.In this edition of Roundtable, we discuss how young people can participate in the elections as voters, candidates and decision-makers, the opportunities and barriers they face, and what can be done to strengthen youth representation in the political process.Guests: Juma Mabor Marial – Executive Director, ALARM David Deng’Kur Mading – Civil Society Stella Kitale Swaka – SPLM Youth League and Entrepreneur Rambang Tot Deng – Public Service/Youth in Government
In this episode of Health & Wellness, Dr. Bono Bol and Dr. Nyuon Biding discussed the importance of vaccines and immunization.They discuss how vaccines work, routine childhood immunization, vaccine safety, common misconceptions and misinformation, the importance of the vaccine cold chain, and the role pharmacists and communities can play in protecting public health.
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan has concluded a four-day visit, warning that renewed violence, political tensions, shrinking civic space and persistent impunity are putting civilians and the country’s democratic transition at risk. The three-member Commission engaged government officials, political and security actors, civil society, humanitarian partners, victims and other stakeholders, including survivors of recent violence in Jonglei. Its findings point to a fragile political environment ahead of the planned December elections, with concerns that continued insecurity and limited civic space could undermine a peaceful and credible transition.Commissioner Barney Afako spoke with Radio Miraya's Philip Wani at the end of the mission, outlining the conditions the Commission says are needed to protect the political process and civilians.
UNESCO is supporting a literacy programme targeting more than 800 women in South Sudan’s security sector. The initiative aims to strengthen reading, writing, communication and digital skills while opening pathways to professional development and leadership. UNESCO official James Muorwel says limited literacy has affected women’s promotions, assignments and ability to make meaningful contributions. The programme also seeks to strengthen women’s role in responding to sexual and gender-based violence and give female survivors greater confidence to report cases and seek support.
Literacy is more than reading and writing. UNICEF Young Reporters Esther Keji and Mark Habet discuss how literacy can help South Sudan’s young people make informed decisions, understand their rights, use technology responsibly and participate in their communities. They also examine barriers to education, including displacement, high school fees, child marriage, gender inequality and inadequate learning facilities, while sharing their hopes for a generation that can use education to build a more inclusive, resilient and peaceful South Sudan.
Teachers Without Borders is calling for a broader approach to literacy in South Sudan, one that also develops critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills. In this interview, Executive Director Chol Philip Kuer discusses the role of debate, public speaking and other activities in helping children build confidence and analyse information. He also explains how listening to opposing views and disagreeing constructively can equip young people with skills that support peaceful participation in their communities.
Constitutional Amendment No. 13 has removed key legal barriers to South Sudan's first post-independence elections, paving the way for polls planned for December 2026. But is the country truly ready?In this edition, we examine what the amendment means for the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement, the state of preparedness by the National Elections Commission and the Political Parties Council, and the political, security and logistical challenges that still lie ahead.Guests: Hon. James Akol Zakayo, Chairperson, Political Parties Council Adv. Wol Deng Akech, Lecturer and Head, Social Legal Studies Centre, Dr John Garang Memorial University of Science and Technology James Boboya Edimond, Executive Director, Institute of Social Policy and Research
