i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Government of South Sudan budgets for and fully implements its Women Peace and Security commitments

South Sudan continued lack of budgetary allocation towards commitments for Women Peace and Security (WPS) that hinders actual implementations of WPS commitments stipulated in the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) . It also negatively affected data collection of gaps on the commitments and implementation of the WPS Agenda for monitoring on regular basis. However, South Sudan made some progress on the implementation of the National Action Plan on United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNCSR) 1325 on WPS such as on the prevention and protection as the Joint Defence Board has developed a strategy to address sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) that includes disciplinary measure by the parties’ signatory to the agreement to their forces in case they are involved in SGBV. Although the numbers fall short of 35% affirmative action for women’s leadership positions which was enshrined in the R-ARCSS, there has been a significant increase in women representation in recognized leadership and decision-making positions in the government as well as women’s participation in peacebuilding . As of December 2021, 9 out of the 35 members of the cabinet are women, which amounts to 25.71%. Also, there is 1 woman deputy minister, and 1 out of the 5 vice presidents is a woman. Executive appointment for the state governors and deputies shows that 1 out of 10 (10%) governors is women, and 3 out of 10 (30%) deputies are women. The positions include advisers, ministers, chairpersons of independent commissions, deputy chairpersons of independent commissions, and county commissioners. For the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA), 182 females out of 550 legislators (33.09%) are appointed including a first female Speaker of the TNLA for the first time since the independence in 2011. At the state level, women from political parties and civil society were effectively engaged in championing the efforts of peacebuilding, as evidenced by the example of 15 women political leaders have been appointed to conflict resolution peace commissions at 10 states. The women are from parties that are signatories to the Peace Agreement and drive the agenda of peacebuilding at state levels. Moreover, over 260 women leaders across the country from the 10 states and 3 administrative areas were engaged in establishing the structures of 13 South Sudan Women Leadership Forums to act as government women leaders’ structures for influencing government decisions and space for amplifying women leader’s voices for claiming meaningful participation in public life. All the established 13 structures of South Sudan Women Leadership Forums are headed by Ministers of Gender and Social Development state and administrative areas with the participation of women leaders from the government institutions, civil society, media, private sector and faith-based leaders. At the community level, women’s participation in peacebuilding and implementation of the R-ARCSS has been also increased. For example, in 2021 62 women occupied leadership positions in 10 villages in Maridi Country whereas the women in leadership positions in 2020 were none. While only 7 out of 65 leadership positions were appointed to women at the county level in Awerial County in 2020, the number went up to 26 women in leadership positions in 2021. UN Women contributed to these results by supporting women at all levels to spearhead advocacy for increasing female representations in the government’s key roles and pushing for the 35% affirmative action as laid out in the R-ARCSS. Women’s participation in decision making and peacebuilding will help reduce the damaging effects of conflicts as the special needs of women and girls during the peacebuilding post-conflict reconstruction are more considered and addressed.
