Outcome insights and achievements
Outcome progress note for the year
Women and men in South Sudan, particularly youth and vulnerable groups, benefit from and contribute to more sustainable and inclusive economic development, with increased economic diversification, improved climate change adaptation and greater resilience to economic shocks
Women, men, and youth in South Sudan, particularly from internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities, are now experiencing improved livelihoods and enhanced economic resilience through inclusive and sustainable economic development initiatives. In 2024, through start-up grants provided by UN Women, 900 members of Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLA) (660 women and 240 men) are now benefit from diversified incomes and strengthened economic security. This progress is demonstrated by a remarkable 202.31% increase in their collective savings, rising from $1,714 to $5,183. This growth underscores their enhanced financial independence and improved ability to adapt to economic shocks. Subsequently, as a result of the establishment of 50 small businesses, 123 individuals (81 women and 42 men) now have access to employment opportunities further leading to transformative changes in their lives and amplifying economic benefits within the community. Additionally, women have reported increased financial autonomy and a greater ability to provide consistent support for their households. Furthermore, IDPs and host community members employed through these businesses now have valuable skills in business operations and management, equipping them with the tools needed for future self-reliance and sustainable economic participation. As a direct result of UN Women’s strategic efforts, 300 micro and small enterprises (MSEs) have been established in South Sudan, engaging 1,500 individuals, including 450 women and 1,050 youth under 35 years old. This initiative has significantly enhanced employment opportunities, improved market access, and increased income generation for women and youth. Furthermore, through a pivotal collaboration between UN Women and Stanbic Bank, 234 of these MSEs now have access to interest-free loans totalling approximately USD 534,981, unlocking critical financial resources to sustain and grow their businesses.
