PRESS STATEMENT
Date: 25 July 2025
Subject: A Call to Action – Making the National Youth Charter a Reality

CMDEC Position on the Launch of the National Youth Charter

On 22nd July 2025, the National Constitutional Review Commission (NCRC), in partnership with UNDP and various youth organizations, achieved a significant milestone in South Sudan’s constitution-making process by launching the National Youth Charter.

This Charter stands as a living advocacy document that highlights critical concerns needing the urgent attention of the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU) and all relevant stakeholders. It offers a definitive voice for youth organizations nationwide and represents a vibrant, innovative, and resilient demographic—young people who are not only future leaders but active changemakers today.

Too often, the voices of our youth go unheard, and their potential remains underutilized. The National Youth Charter is a collective response to this gap. It is more than a policy framework; it is a social contract between the state, civil society, and the youth of South Sudan. Developed through broad consultations with youth leaders, educators, and communities, the Charter outlines a bold, inclusive agenda to unlock youth potential across key areas—education, employment, entrepreneurship, health, civic participation, and environmental stewardship.

Our Position and Call to Action:

CMDEC recognizes that when youth thrive, the nation prospers. When they are sidelined, the country stagnates. Investing in young people is not optional—it is a moral, social, and economic necessity.

In light of this, CMDEC calls for the following action:

1. Formal endorsement of the National Youth Charter by the Transitional Government of National Unity as a guiding framework for all youth-related policies and programs across South Sudan.

Press Release

Date: July 5, 2025
Location: Juba, South Sudan

Today, the Constitution-Making and Democratic Engagement Consortium (CMDEC) is honored to welcome members of the media, fellow civil society actors, and, most importantly, the citizens of South Sudan to our inaugural press conference.

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the Constitution-Making and Democratic Engagement Consortium (CMDEC)—a collective of seven civil society and community-based organizations united by a common vision:

To strengthen participatory democracy through inclusive constitution-making, credible electoral processes, and sustained citizen engagement in local and state governance.

Why CMDEC?

Our conviction to form this consortium stems from the protracted transitional period South Sudan continues to experience—despite the growing national call for democratic elections and comprehensive institutional reforms.

CMDEC aims to be a platform for action, accountability, and advocacy that ensures the voice of every South Sudanese is not only heard but integrated into the nation's democratic journey.

Our Key Objectives Include:

Promoting an inclusive Constitution-making process by 2026.

Strengthening electoral integrity through civic education and election observation.

Enhancing youth and women's participation in political, social, and governance processes.

Establishing civic engagement platforms to foster public participation in decision-making, policy advocacy, and governance accountability.

Where We Work

CMDEC operates from our head office in Juba, with field presence in:

Eastern Equatoria

Western Equatoria

Jonglei State

Western Bahr el Ghazal

Upper Nile State

Additionally, we plan to expand our reach to refugee centers in Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia, as well as to other states and administrative areas across South Sudan.

Join the Synergy

We extend our invitation to all citizens, media, and partners—local and international—to join us in this shared mission to build a democratic and inclusive South Sudan.
