"Efficient and Equitable Natural Resource Management: Using Transparency to Avoid the Resource Curse" is a report authored by John Mukum Mbaku and Jessica Elaine Smith. The report delves into the challenges and opportunities associated with managing natural resources in South Sudan, with a particular emphasis on oil, land, and water resources. The authors investigate how the implementation of transparency, adherence to international initiatives such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), and the promotion of participatory governance can aid South Sudan in evading the resource curse. The recommendations provided in the report are centered around promoting equitable resource allocation, involving civil society, addressing issues of land grabs, and fostering cooperation within the Nile River Basin.
