The Juba Consumer Basket
Tracking the real cost of everyday essentials in Juba, so citizens, policymakers, and journalists have an honest, up-to-date picture of what life actually costs.
SSIMOE tracks the real cost of everyday essentials in Juba — food, transport, and household basics — so citizens, policymakers, and journalists have an honest, up-to-date picture of what life actually costs. This index is updated monthly and published in full, with every price point sourced from the markets tracked (e.g. Konyo Konyo Market, Custom Market, Suk Libya), and is scalable to the remaining nine state capital cities and the three administrative areas in the near future.
Where the numbers come from
The basket is built from prices gathered on the ground at markets across Juba, including Konyo Konyo Market, Custom Market, and Suk Libya. Tracking food, transport, and household basics side by side gives a fuller picture than any single price alone.
Markets currently tracked
Konyo Konyo Market
Custom Market

Nine more state capitals and three administrative areas are planned for future expansion.
An honest, up-to-date picture of what life actually costs — that's what an informed public is built on.
