Abstract

The study’s objective is to “examine the impact of South Sudan’s National Police Service (SSNPS) on security sector reforms a case study of the Ministry of Interior.” An empirical inquiry was looked at, and the study was developed as a case study. The researcher used questionnaires, interviews, and observation as the main data-gathering methods. There were 80 people there in total during the research, and 60 were randomly selected as the sample size. For the purpose of this study, descriptive statistics were generated by data analysis using SPSS version 20.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The data collection process employed both secondary and primary sources. The secondary responsibility was to evaluate already published works, such as books, essays, periodicals, journals, newspapers, and websites. The main methods for gathering data were questionnaires, observations, and interviews, and secondary data was also employed. The national police force of South Sudan has reportedly been able to successfully carry out the duties outlined in the SSNP Act 2011.The National Police Service must overcome a number of significant challenges before it can implement security sector reforms at the Ministry of Interior in South Sudan, according to the report, including the lack of excitement among police officers. The study analyzed published works and data collected through questionnaires, revealing that South Sudan’s national police force successfully fulfils duties under the SSNP Act 2011 due to the Ministry of Interior’s security sector reforms. However, challenges like lack of officer enthusiasm remain. Since 2005, South Sudan’s security sector has faced challenges due to inadequate police training programs and low professionalization. Since independence in 2011, the sector has been characterized by brutality and political instability, impacting the nation’s development.
