Storyline

South Sudan’s Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior said, “the development of the Revitalized National Development strategy is the government of South Sudan’s clear and deliberate road map to accelerating the implementation of our assets, while laying the foundation of sustainable peace and the stabilization of our economy.”

Addressing at the General Assembly Debate today (24 Sep) in New York, Vice President Nyandeng de Mabior said, “It is a painful and shameful situation for a country endowed with vast fertile land to be regarded as poor.”

She said, “we must ensure peace and security in the country and double our efforts to support our people who wanted to return and are returning to their area of origin for them to participate fully in nation building and contribute to bringing food security to the country.”

The Vice President noted that at her country’s independence, the international community pledged to help build the capacity of the country in all areas of nation-building. As a result, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) was created to help establish the foundations of our new nation.

However, she said that after the outbreak of the war, that vision was abandoned, and priority was placed on protecting civilians and providing humanitarian assistance. As a result, support for capacity building was terminated.

The Vice President reiterated, “the protection of civilians is a priority.” adding that since she is responsible for the Humanitarian Cluster in her government, she champions this cause, “but it should not be at the expense of capacity building and sustainable development.”

Nyandeng de Mabior continued, “building state’s capacities to govern responsibly and effectively is essential. It is also necessary to guard against the unintended consequence of dependency on humanitarian assistance.”
