RVI has a number of long-running projects in South Sudan including working in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Museums and National Heritage on the development of the South Sudan National Archives, and the South Sudan Customary Authorities Project, which includes a significant emphasis on developing the skills of young South Sudanese researchers.
