September 19, 2015

Conference Outcome:  A Vision for South Sudan

South Sudan is a reconciled, unified and stable country, proud of its diversity as represented by its 64 tribes and enjoying equality, peace and harmony.

The government of South Sudan is a democratic federal government whose powers are vested by a permanent citizen-informed constitution and whose leaders are qualified and committed to serving the people of South Sudan and whose systems are efficient, transparent and free of corruption.

The people of South Sudan are educated and healthy and they enjoy all freedoms, protection through justice accountability and the rule of law, and prosperity through the effective management of the country's resources and the empowerment of its people to realize their unlimited potential.

South Sudan is an example for the continent and it is respected among the nations.
