Abstract
This study examines government support policies aimed at rebuilding livelihoods in South Sudanese cities following natural disasters and evaluates their economic impact and sustainability. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative analysis of available data to evaluate the impact of support policies on livelihoods and economic recovery. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between government support measures and increased employment rates by 20% within six months post-disaster, highlighting the effectiveness of targeted aid in restoring local economies. Government support plays a crucial role in fostering sustainable livelihoods after natural disasters. This study supports evidence-based policies for future disaster response efforts. Recommendation is to implement continuous monitoring and evaluation systems to adapt support strategies based on ongoing feedback from beneficiaries and economic indicators.
