South Sudan’s mineral-rich areas continue to suffer from illicit activities, poor oversight, and a lack of government accountability. The report is part of the Civil Society Coalition on Natural Resources (CSCNR) and the Institute of Social Policy and Research. The report found that local communities remain impoverished, despite the annual export of millions of dollars’ worth of gold. The research examined the mining sector’s revenue collection and risks, using case studies and risk assessments in Budi, Kapoeta South, and Kapoeta East.
