JUBA – The European Union has announced an additional €96 million ($103 million) funding package to support South Sudan’s long-term social and economic development.

The funding, which will be disbursed over the next three years, aligns with the EU’s Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) for South Sudan (2021-2027).

It will be directed towards three key areas: building a green and resilient economy, enhancing human development, and strengthening governance, peace, and the rule of law.

“The funding is in line with the EU’s long-term commitment to South Sudan and its people,” the EU stated.

While welcoming the EU’s continued support, South Sudanese officials emphasized the need for greater domestic efforts to address the country’s challenges.

The EU reiterated its call for the transitional government to increase its investment in peace implementation and public services, including timely salary payments.

“The EU has regretted the need for another extension of the transitional period. This decision for increased development assistance is not linked to the extension,” the EU clarified.

“The additional funding comes as a consequence of the global mid-term review of the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI),” it added.

Since South Sudan’s independence in 2011, the EU has been a key development partner, employing a “triple nexus approach” that combines humanitarian, development, and peace initiatives.

The current MIP aligns with international development frameworks and has supported South Sudan in various areas, including climate resilience and human rights.

The EU’s additional funding aims to address South Sudan’s significant challenges, such as poverty, food insecurity, and governance issues.
