Land for South Sudan, pass the National Land Policy now.

On April 16, the South Sudan Land Alliance convened a community dialogue in Rajaf Payam, Juba, bringing together legislators, chiefs, women, youth, faith leaders, persons with disabilities, and media to call for the swift passage of the National Land Policy (NLP).

Participants highlighted how the delay of the NLP continues to fuel land disputes, land grabbing, weak coordination, and barriers to women’s and community land rights.

The message was clear: South Sudan needs the NLP now to strengthen land governance, reduce conflict, and build a more secure future for all.

🌍 What is the National Land Policy?

The National Land Policy (NLP), in development for years, is envisioned as a vital framework to secure land rights and resolve disputes in South Sudan.

The NLP will provide a framework to resolve land disputes, combat corruption, and ensure fair access to land for all, especially Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and women.

Secure land rights mean stronger livelihoods, more investment in sustainable practices, and a united South Sudan.

Further delays in passing the NLP mean continued land-related conflicts and missed opportunities for prosperity and climate resilience.

Land Alliance Urges Action as Rajaf Communities Decry Land Grabbing

The Chairperson of the South Sudan Land Alliance, Dorothy Drabuga Ambrose, has urged urgent adoption of the National Land Policy, warning that continued delays are fueling land grabbing and disputes across communities.
Speaking during a community dialogue on land issues in Rajaf Payam on Thursday, Ambrose said the absence of a clear legal framework has left many communities vulnerable to illegal land occupation and unregulated use.
“The continued delay in passing the National Land Policy is contributing to land conflicts and unregulated land use,” she said. “This framework is essential to protect communities and ensure fair land governance.”
Her remarks come amid growing complaints from residents of Gumbo in Rajaf Payam, who say land grabbers are taking advantage of the policy gap to occupy land without accountability.
“We are suffering because people just come and take land without any clear law to protect us,” one community member said. “If the government had already passed the land policy, these issues would be reduced.”

Meanwhile the Deputy Chairperson of the Legislation and Legal Affairs Committee in Parliament, Peter Juoj Machar, announced that lawmakers are expected to resume deliberations on the long-awaited policy after repeated setbacks in the legislative process.

Machar said the policy development began in 2024 through nationwide consultations led by the Ministry of Lands and partner organizations.
“The land policy started in 2024. People came together through different workshops led by various organizations and the Ministry of Lands to agree on how land should be owned, managed, and used,” Machar said.
He explained that although the draft policy was later submitted to Parliament, it was not debated as the legislative session was nearing its end.
“When the policy was taken to Parliament, the session was coming to an end, so nothing was done,” he said. “It had to be pushed to the next
