AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola and trade shocks: Uganda tightened Ebola-linked border controls with DR Congo, leaving traders at Mpondwe stuck in long queues and consignments “rotting,” while Mauritius also imposed a temporary entry ban and quarantine rules for travelers from DR Congo, Uganda and South Sudan. Banking for grassroots growth: Co-operative Bank of South Sudan hosted a forum in Aweil bringing together 41 co-operative societies to strengthen governance, financial management, agribusiness and entrepreneurship—aimed at expanding access to affordable financing. Oil output lift: Greater Pioneer Operating Company (GPOC) hit 60,158 barrels per day by May 29, the highest since 2005, supported by field development, residual recovery studies and infrastructure upgrades. Food security push: South Sudan’s agriculture leaders renewed commitments to shift farmers from subsistence to commercial production, attract private investment and use climate-smart methods—while security remains a key constraint. Regional ties: South Sudan’s deputy mission said Ethiopia remains a key partner, with cooperation focused on transport and energy corridors. Elections readiness: Over 3,000 police recruits began election security training in Juba ahead of the December 2026 polls. Governance capacity: UNDP and AfDB handed ICT equipment to South Sudan’s finance and planning bodies to improve data-driven economic governance.
