Introduction
The People’s Voice is a monthly newspaper supplement produced by the Union of Journalists of South Sudan (UJOSS), in partnership with the Media Diversity Institute (MDI), London, and published in the Juba Post and Southern Eye newspapers in South Sudan. The supplement’s purpose is to represent the views and concerns of the ordinary people of South Sudan, especially rural, minority and disadvantaged communities. At this key point in the history of South Sudan, creating a bridge between the ordinary people and their leaders, as the People’s Voice does, is an essential part of the process of democratic development and state-building. The project is part funded by the European Commission and the partners are currently seeking to ensure the continued success of The People’s Voice via the concept of sponsored editions.
Sponsored Editions Concept
UJOSS is offering to sponsors a package of three editions of the People’s Voice. In agreement with UJOSS, sponsors can choose which development topics the editions will focus on (e.g. health, education, children, infrastructure etc) and the union will use its nationwide network to file reports on the given subject. UJOSS will retain control of an independent editorial process.
Target groups
6,000 – 8,000 readers of each monthly edition including the South Sudanese elite.
Final beneficiaries
The ordinary people of South Sudan, especially rural, minority and disadvantaged communities.

- A public and transparent link between elected representatives and ordinary people.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
