Connecting opportunities and institutions.
The Republic of South Sudan is a young country of the Nile, with fertile land, large herds, fisheries and important natural resources. Most families live by farming and livestock, and petroleum is the country’s main export.
These are areas where business, partnership and public investment can grow. The Embassy can direct a serious enquiry to the relevant authority. Rules for any project should be confirmed with that institution before a payment or a contract is made.
- Oil and energy. Petroleum is the leading export and the base of the energy sector.
- Minerals. Gold and other minerals are open to responsible exploration and partnership.
- Fishing. The Nile and the Sudd support river and wetland fisheries.
- Agriculture. Crops, livestock and fertile land sustain most people and can support food production.
- National parks and wildlife. Boma, Badingilo, Nimule and other parks protect a great migration and other wildlife.
- Tourism. The parks, the Nile and cultural life are the base of a growing visitor economy.
- Investment. Partners can explore projects with the proper government institutions.
- Infrastructure. Roads, power, water and communications are priorities for development.
- Education. Schools, training and skills are open to cooperation.
- Science and technology. Research, digital services and technical training are areas for future partnership.
