Principles that
guide our work.
Our values define how we conduct our research, how we present evidence, and how we remain accountable to the public we serve.
Independent in principle.
Rigorous in practice.
SSIMOE is guided by five core values that shape every report, tracker, analysis, and partnership.
Independent
01We answer to the evidence, not to any government, party or funder.
Evidence-Based
02Every claim in our reports traces back to data we can show.
Non-partisan
03We report what the numbers say, whoever they favour.
Grounded in lived experiences
04We start from what South Sudanese families actually pay, face and experience, and we measure that.
Accountable to the public
05We publish our methods and our sources, and we correct our mistakes openly.
Principles are only meaningful
when they shape the work.
These principles are not simply statements of intent. They are the standards by which we approach our work.
