Resumen
Descripción
This poverty assessment has confirmed
that poverty is endemic and food insecurity dire in South
Sudan despite the country’s abundant wealth in natural
resources. The report finds widespread and extreme poverty
that stems from a combination of historical and systemic
problems, including persistent conflicts and violence, the
absence of the state, and poor governance and economic
management aggravated by extreme and recurrent natural
disasters. The assessment makes clear that household
strategies to cope with or guard against risk often
exacerbate vulnerability. The capacity of most South
Sudanese to withstand future shocks is severely limited or
entirely depleted. The prevailing socioeconomic system has
consistently eroded the living standards of the South
Sudanese. It is therefore critical to change course and do
things differently to reduce poverty and build resilience.
The report concludes that addressing conflict and state
failure is critical for strengthening and rebuilding the
livelihoods of conflict-affected people.
