Welcome

Republic of South Sudan Investor Guide

Welcome by the President of the Republic of South Sudan Dear Global Business Investors, I have the pleasure to personally welcome you to the Republic of South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation whose abundance of resources and entrepreneurial opportunities are immeasurable. Let it be known to our regional neighbours and the world that the Republic of South Sudan is at last safe and open for business. In January 2011, when 98% of the people of South Sudan voted for independence, the then-autonomous region affirmed its commitment to freedom, permanent peace, human dignity and nationhood. This choice is an unambiguous manifestation of our determination towards achieving freedom and building the prospect of a better future for our citizens of today and tomorrow. It is the strong will and great sacrifice of the South Sudanese people that has led us through the long and difficult road of fighting, defending and claiming our right to finally realize the long awaited birth of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9th 2011. Since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005, the autonomous region of South Sudan has already begun laying down the foundations of our new nation. We set in place the institutions that would provide the basis of transparent and accountable governance. We embarked on a clear path towards sustained economic development

4

through prioritizing policies tailored to ensure the establishment and swift growth of the private sector. The establishment of the South Sudan business registry in 2008; the Investment Promotion Act of 2009; and the establishment of the South Sudan Investment Authority are clear demonstrations of our commitment to facilitating, promoting, and developing the leadership of the private sector in the construction and development of our country. The Republic of South Sudan is a land of vast investment opportunities. The country is rich in natural resources. Our favorable climatic conditions, fertile soils and near unpolluted environment make South Sudan an ideal location for agricultural and agro-processing. Our rivers offer unlimited power generation opportunities. And we are a host to the world’s second largest wildlife migration. In our nascent nation, infrastructure development will be a key component to opening further commercial opportunities within South Sudan and in our neighboring markets. We are looking forward to seeing you invest in fields of your interests and expertise in South Sudan.

H. E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit President

Republic of South Sudan Investor Guide

 

Welcome by Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment of the Republic of South Sudan South Sudan’s independence is finally a reality and with this moment comes our new country’s resolve to rebuild our nation. There are abundant investment opportunities in South Sudan in all sectors of the economy. However, the first and foremost objective of the Government is to place special attention in those sectors which will provide food security and make the best rational use of the country’s vast natural resources. Abundant land and water and massive unmet local and regional demand creates opportunities in all areas of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. This combination creates commercial opportunities in a wide range of crops including but not limited to cereals, oilseeds, sugar horticulture and floriculture, coffee, tea and other speciality crops such as gum.

 

Most of South Sudan’s mineral wealth is as yet untapped. Currently, it is believed that less than 50% of suspected oil reserves in South Sudan are yet to be exploited. There also various other minerals deposits such as gold, iron, copper, zinc, limestone and marble.

build critically needed power and transportation infrastructure. Current estimates place South Sudan’s economic growth anywhere between 5% and 10% annually. Demand for all types of goods and services are multiplying at great rates. In view of such a wide range of opportunities and growing demand, the Ministry of Investment has been working hard to put in place all the necessary structures and team to facilitate investment into South Sudan. The Ministry has set a One-Stop-Shop to streamline and simplify business set-up procedures and has a team of Project Management Officers ready to guide investors in identifying the right locations for their investment projects. Investors can feel confident that their rights are guaranteed under the South Sudan’s Investment Promotion Act and that the country has set in place a solid legal and institutional framework supporting the private sector. Come and see for yourself. The Republic of South Sudan is open for business! Yours Sincerely,

The government of South Sudan is aware of the key role played by infrastructure in maximising the returns for investors. In this way, the government has committed to public private partnerships to help

General Terrain Classification for Southern Sudan States

➧ 1.4

The Government of South Sudan

➧ 1.4.1 Referendum and Independence After a 30 year struggle for independence, a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) with the North was signed in 2005. Since then, the autonomous Government of Southern Sudan has led a largely peaceful transition to independence, culminating in: • Multiparty parliamentary and presidential elections in 2010 – widely acclaimed for fairness and transparency by independent international observers • Independence referendum in January 2011 – with 98% vote in favor of separation • Formal Independence on July 9, 2011.

Elections: The president is elected by popular vote for a four year term; election last held on 11-15 April 2010 (next to be held in 2015).

The Legislative Branch National Assembly of South Sudan The National Assembly of South Sudan, the first of its kind in the history of South Sudan, came to existence under Act. 57 (1) of the Interim Constitution of the South Sudan 2005. The SSLA was inaugurated in October 2005 with 170 Members and the last election was held in mid April 2010. It is comprised of 159 SPLM members, four SPLM-DC members, one NCP member and six Independent members. The South Sudan Legislative Assembly exercises legislative functions; oversees the Executive, and promotes a decentralized system of government in South Sudan. It is tasked with responsibilities of enacting legislations on all matters assigned to it by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the Interim National Constitution and Interim Constitution of South Sudan. The powers conferred the SSLA include:

The second begins on Monday of the first week of September and ends on Wednesday of the last week of November. If need be, the Speaker of the Assembly in consultation with the President may resolve to extend the duration of the session as mandated by the Conduct of Business of the Assembly. A Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan 2011 is effective since July 9th 2011.

Judicial Branch The Constitution of South Sudan mandates the establishment of the Judiciary of South Sudan (JOSS) as an independent institution. It consists of: • Supreme Court • Courts of Appeal • High Courts

• Discussions on all the statements made by the president

The Executive Branch

• Impeachment of the president and the vice president of the Government of South Sudan

Republic of South Sudan Investor Guide

➧ 1.4.3 State and Local Government The Executive Branch of the state government is headed by the governor and is composed of the governor, the governor’s advisors, and the state ministers. Governors are accountable to the president of South Sudan, while the state ministers are accountable to the governor.

• County Courts • Other courts or tribunals as deemed necessary to be established • New Sudan Judicial System – Court Hierarchy.

Local government is charged with promoting self-governance and enhancing the participation of people and communities in maintaining law and order and promoting democratic, transparent, and accountable government.

Flood plains:

➧ 1.5 Climate and Water Resources

Most of South Sudan has a sub-humid climate. Rainfall is favorable (from 300 to 2,200 mm in some areas) and temperatures are typically above 25°C and can rise above 35°C, particularly during the dry season, which lasts from January to April. Based on climate, vegetation, and soils, the country can be divided into three zones:

The rest of upper Nile, eastern and northeastern parts of Bahr el Ghazal, and parts of the Northeastern Equatoria receive from 750 to 1000 mm over six to seven months. Due to lack of slope, and heavy impermeable soils the zone is subject to heavy water logging and flooding during the rainy season. If drainage could be solved (through properly constructed earth bunds) this areas could be the most fertile soils of the country. The Equatoria zone:

Northern rain lands: This area covers the northern part of Upper Nile. Receives a mean of 400 to 600 mm with heavy rains over four months of the year. Mainly clay soils with patches of sandy soil. The south part of this zone receives slightly more rain (677 to 750mm during five months). Irrigation and mechanized agriculture have been introduced and livestock production is largely confined to nomadic pastoralist.

This zone is not homogeneous. Western Equatoria and highland parts of Eastern Equatoria receive 1,200 to 2,200 mm of rainfall annually. The lowland areas of Eastern Equatoria receive between 700 and 1,300 mm of rainfall annually. The south-eastern tip of Eastern Equatoria receives the least rainfall, less than 700 mm annually.

2. Business Opportunities

Republic of South Sudan Investor Guide

2. Business Opportunities Currently, South Sudan’s economy is mainly dependent on revenues from oil. However, South Sudan has enormous potential in other productive sectors and the government has made it a priority to focus on the development of non-oil sectors to achieve long term sustainable growth. Although some new markets have emerged and trade rates have improved since the establishment of the CPA, South Sudan’s economy is still nascent and there is limited market activity and low import and export levels. Sudan’s official statistics do not include data on international trade crossing borders into the south. 2010 exports and imports from two EAC member countries to South Sudan were worth US$187mn and US$184mn respectively.

“the Government of South Sudan has made it a priority to focus on the development of non-oil sectors to achieve long term sustainable growth”

➧ 2.1 Agriculture Traditionally, the center of the South Sudanese economy has been the agricultural sector. South Sudan is divided into seven agro-ecological zones which are: Greenbelt, the Ironstone Plateau, the Central and Southeastern Hills and Mountains, the Flood Plains (Western and Eastern Flood Plains), the Nile and Sabat Rivers Zone, the Arid and Pastoral Zone and the Central Rain lands. Every zone is capable of producing more than subsistence needs and in above average zones such as the green belt, it is possible to grow two crops per year. South Sudan has long been a producer of cotton, gum, millet, sorghum, sesame, rice and peanuts. Other crops include: coffee, tea, sugar and tobacco. There is also great potential for growing vegetables and fruits. Tropical fruits such as bananas, grapefruits, guavas, mangoes,

lemons, oranges, pineapples and many others are widely grown in South Sudan, especially along the greenbelt and the Nile and other rivers. Vegetables grown in South Sudan traditionally include: onions, okra, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage as well as other local varieties. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of South Sudan has already identified a wide variety of agricultural projects in different areas of the region which are of strategic importance. Many of these projects have already been planned and feasibility studies for these have been executed. The list of projects includes a wide variety of investment opportunities which range from specific crop cultivation, production and irrigation to crop processing and marketing. For a full list of these investment opportunities please contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the South Sudan Investment Authority.

➧ 2.2

Energy and Mineral Resources

Previous geological studies and prospecting have uncovered that South Sudan has considerable deposits of various mineral ferrous and non ferrous deposits such as gold, iron, uranium, copper, limestone, marble, granite, chromium, zinc, tungsten, mica and magnetite; as well as gemstones, petroleum and other chemicals. Energy generation resources are also abundant and these include oil, natural gas, rivers, wind and solar. Hydroelectric power generation potential in South Sudan is enormous and stems mainly from the Nile as well as from other smaller rivers throughout the autonomous region.

Republic of South Sudan Investor Guide

➧ 2.3

Livestock, Fisheries and Forestry Estimated cattle number (thousands) by state

Livestock is also abundant in South Sudan and benefits from the area’s abundant natural pastures and fresh water. The animal population estimated at 12 million head of cattle and 11 million sheep and goats in Upper Nile, Bahr el Ghazal and Eastern Equatoria. There are three types of cattle in South Sudan: the Nilotic, Toposa Murle and the South Eastern Hills Zebu. Although physically a bit different, they are all just as productive and they are each suited to their environment. The Nilotic is better suited for the flood plain and can endure flooding and resulting insects. The Toposa-Murle, more accustomed to the more semi arid areas can go without water for considerable amounts of time. And the Zebu does well with sparse hill-side vegetation and has some resistance to trypanosomiasis. However, cattle and livestock in general in South Sudan face various constraints especially centered on the control and eradication of pests and diseases. Otherwise, there are immense opportunities for investment in the development of livestock in the country. There is already great internal demand and currently, some of the most basic needs to raise livestock, from chicken feed to vaccines are being imported. Fish are also abundant in the Nile, sudd and swamps, shallow lakes, seasonal wetlands surrounding rivers, lakes and permanent swamps. There are significant opportunities for fish farming activities. South Sudan also possesses various forests within its different ecological zones which allow it to maintain its rich biodiversity. Forest plantations have led to the establishment of a small but growing sawmilling industry.

Other Sectors of Investment Opportunities

With independence and economic growth, investments are needed in many industries. The government has designated the aforementioned and the following sectors as priority for investment:

donors have invested some generation capacity (three new power plants and localized distribution networks built in Juba, Malakal and Wau), private investment will be imperative in the next years. Growing infrastructure projects and business facilities in South Sudan are driving demand for construction materials; imports are estimated at US$3.4mn and growing. Due to the
