The Republic of South Sudan (RSS) is Africa’s newest state after attaining sovereignty on 9 July 2011. Since then, a Transitional Constitution (2011) is in force and provides the legal framework toward a permanent one.

The Transitional Constitution enables civil society participation in the process of constitutional review. The contributions will be made to The National Constitutional Review Commission (NCRC) who will prepare an initial draft, which will be reviewed by representatives of the National Constitutional Conference (NCC).
