About
As South Sudan marks 15 years of independence, what has the country achieved, what lessons have emerged, and what lies ahead? On this edition of Democracy in Action, a lawmaker, a governance expert and a youth leader reflect on the nation's journey since 2011, examining progress in institution-building, education and national identity, while confronting the impact of conflict, economic challenges and unmet expectations. They also explore what it will take to build a more peaceful, prosperous and democratic South Sudan.
