The World Bank says South Sudan cannot receive infrastructure funding from international investors due to lack of financial policies and transport sector regulations. The bank has placed conditions to be met before the country begins receiving funding for roads infrastructure development.

A new study by an East African body, the Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Co-ordination Authority (NCTTCA), has found that South Sudan’s roads are “the worst” in the region. The roads became worse following recent torrential rains that made them impassable because of flash flooding and mud.

A delegation from the World Bank is in the capital, Juba, to discuss the possibility of supporting the country's road network connectivity. They said for the bank to support South Sudan’s transport sector, the government needs to put in place clear institutional regulations and financial policies.

“It is about the diagnostics and framework not being in place and this is the stage that we are at, in our engagement with the government of South Sudan. It doesn’t make sense to start investing when you don’t have the rules in place. "These are the things that South Sudan needs to tackle,” Bernard Aritua, a World Bank official told reporters in Juba.

South Sudan’s Roads Minister has apologised to the public for the bad condition of roads in the country as a study found that they were the worst in the region.

Roads worsened following recent torrential rains that made them impassable because of flooding and mud. More than 1 500 lorries carrying food supplies have been stranded for weeks in Western Equatorial State.

Roads Minister Simon Mijok Mijak said engineers were working on the roads and the lorries would be able to move in a few days. South Sudan's roads have been described as "the worst" in the region, in a report released by an east African body, the Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Co-ordination Authority (NCTTCA).

"The roads in South Sudan are at the lowest category, the worst, while you get Rwanda and Kenya being from good to very good," said NCTTCA Executive Secretary Omae Nyarandi. He added that South Sudan needed to focus more on policy and planning, and maintenance in order to improve its road network.
