Explore our poverty alleviation programs targeting low incomes, public services, participation, and attitudes. Join us in fighting poverty in South Sudan.
Low Incomes

Low income is at the heart of our analysis of poverty, and access to an adequate income is essential to addressing poverty. Much of our work over the next five years will be focused on supporting policies and actions that increase the incomes of those currently living in poverty. We will prioritize agriculture and agro-business to address low incomes among the youthful age, who receive less attention in current policy. This focus will include both incomes in and out of work.

 

Economic empowerment is the cornerstone of poverty alleviation. Together, we can create pathways to prosperity for all.

People living on low incomes are more likely to rely on public services. A key policy focus over the next five years will be to ensure that people living on low incomes have access to high-quality public services. We will work to ensure that services used by and targeted at people experiencing poverty are defended and improved. Our primary concerns will be in the areas of employment services (including skills and training), health, regeneration, social work services, and advice services.

 

Access to essential services is a fundamental right. Let’s work together to ensure no one is left behind in accessing quality healthcare, education, and social support.

Participation
Youth Network Against Poverty

We believe that the participation of people experiencing poverty is central to developing better policy solutions. We will work to ensure that more participatory forms of policy development are created over the coming years. Our primary focus will be on the national level (in Juba), but we will also seek policy change to ensure that people are able to have their voices heard at the local level. We will also continue to work to embed more participatory approaches at both South Sudan and Africa levels.

 

The power of change lies in the voices of those affected. Let’s amplify their voices and work towards inclusive policies that uplift every member of society.

Advocate for inclusion.

Public attitudes set the context for changing anti-poverty policy. Efforts to introduce more effective anti-poverty policies can be hindered by negative or discriminatory attitudes towards people experiencing poverty. For example, if poverty is widely believed to be inevitable or a result of ‘personal failure’, it will be more difficult to garner support for policies to address poverty. We will be involved in activities to highlight progress in addressing poverty and to challenge negative and stereotypical views of people experiencing poverty.

 

Changing hearts and minds is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Let’s challenge stereotypes and foster a culture of compassion and understanding.
