3244: South Sudanese Discuss Life Beyond Foreign Aid

On Radio Miraya’s Chai Talk, hosts Jakob Moyo Felix and Viola Elias led an open discussion on how communities in South Sudan can cope as foreign assistance becomes less certain. The programme explored what self-reliance could look like after years of dependence on humanitarian support, especially in areas affected by conflict, displacement, and hardship. With a guest unable to join, the show turned into an interactive conversation with callers sharing their views on the need for communities and government to invest in agriculture, local production, health, and education so people can better support themselves in the future.
