While poverty is a threat to the vast majority of South Sudan’s population and can only be meaningfully tackled through major comprehensive reforms in the country’s political economy, CPR’s planned intervention is to focus on a segment of the population, children, that can become the foundation of the country within a single generation. It is to provide a stopgap between the immediate needs of children and the country’s future welfare system. It is an investment in projects that directly target children, newborns to adolescents, including the monitoring and support of pregnant young women so they can deliver their first born with a plan.” CPR proposes to start the fight against childhood poverty with very basic things that the state has neglected for too long, including working through health centers to give every new child an official recognition through registration. Our research shows that most children in South Sudan do not get recorded on government forms. This disadvantages them from the start.
