3213: UK Envoy David Ashley Reflects on One Year in South Sudan and the Priorities for the Year Ahead

On Radio Miraya Nationwide, host Gabriel Shadar spoke with the UK Ambassador to South Sudan, David Ashley, as he marked one year in the country.
Ambassador Ashley reflected on meeting South Sudanese during his visits, including schoolchildren, cattle camps, and women supported through programmes addressing gender-based violence.
He outlined three priorities for the year ahead: supporting peace through inclusive dialogue and respect for the peace agreement; continuing UK support in health, education, and humanitarian assistance; and pushing for stronger public financial management so that national resources benefit citizens.
