The Roads Bringing South Sudan's Villages Back Together
A decade of feeder-road work has reconnected once-isolated communities, with more planned.
Across rural South Sudan, feeder roads are quietly changing what is possible. According to the European Union's delegation, hundreds of kilometres of feeder roads have been built or rehabilitated over the past decade, reconnecting villages long cut off in the rainy season, with further support planned under the EU's 2026–2027 programming.
Why feeder roads matter
Feeder roads link farms to markets, patients to clinics and children to schools. In a country where the rains can isolate whole communities for months, all-weather roads are among the most direct improvements to daily life.
