ABOUT THE MID TERM EVALUATION

Background and Project Description

South Sudan hosts more than 500,000 refugees and 2 million internally displaced people, and has adopted a National Durable Solutions Strategy to promote sustainable livelihoods and economic inclusion. Inkomoko believes that entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, and private sector development are key to achieving long-term self-reliance for displacement-affected populations.

With support from SDC, Inkomoko is implementing the Financial Inclusion and Business Growth Project, which aims to support 6,800 displacement-affected entrepreneurs (5,400 in Juba, Gorom, Mangala, and Bor, and 1,400 in Maban) through practical business and soft-skills training, tailored business consulting, and access to affordable finance. The project targets refugees, host communities, women, and youth to strengthen entrepreneurship and economic self-reliance. Participants receive group training, one-on-one business advisory services, and up to five business-coaching visits. At least 2,040 entrepreneurs will also access flexible financial products, including no-interest start-up loans and below-market loans for existing businesses.

The overall objective of the program is to improve social integration, financial inclusion, and economic self-reliance among refugees and host communities in Bor, Juba, Gorom Refugee Settlement, and Mangala IDP Settlement, and Maban, through market-driven, private sector solutions that strengthen local MSMEs and expand access to inclusive financial services, with a particular focus on women and youth.
