The Enough Project published on 12 February 2016 a paper titled "Addressing South Sudan's Economic and Fiscal Crisis."
It concludes that the government of South Sudan's spending is skewed in favor of security even in the face of the current urgent humanitarian crisis and growing concerns of potential widespread famine. Going forward, there is a need for government officials to adjust the national budget and provide the necessary subsidies to ensure that the food crisis does not threaten the entire population.
