As South Sudan marks 15 years of independence, what has the country achieved, what lessons have emerged, and what lies ahead? On this edition of Democracy in Action , a lawmaker, a governance expert and a youth leader reflect on the nation's journey since 2011, examining progress in institution-building, education and national identity, while confronting the impact of conflict, economic challenges and unmet expectations.

Rebecca Joshua, Member of the National Transitional Legislative Assembly Prof. Julia Aker, Vice Chancellor at Dr John Garang Memorial University Mr. Patrick Godi, Youth Representative at the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC)
