SSIMOE tracks the economic and policy realities that shape everyday life in South Sudan and makes the evidence easier for the public to understand and use.
Our work focuses on collecting, analysing and presenting information that matters to South Sudanese citizens and institutions. We concentrate on the cost of living, public expenditure, policy developments and access to important public documents.
We track the cost of living in South Sudan, currently focusing on Juba, through a recurring consumer basket survey.
The findings are published through semi-annual and annual reports, providing a consistent picture of how the cost of essential goods changes over time.
CONSUMER BASKET · PRICES · JUBAWe monitor government expenditure across four critical sectors: Agriculture, Education, Infrastructure, and Health.
By following public resources across these sectors, we seek to make government spending easier to examine and understand.
BUDGETS · EXPENDITURE · PUBLIC RESOURCESWe publish policy analysis and commentary on emerging governance, economic and social issues affecting South Sudan.
Through our Blog, we examine developments and ideas that deserve closer public attention and provide analytical context beyond the headlines.
GOVERNANCE · ECONOMY · SOCIETYWe maintain a public library of South Sudan's legal and policy documents, including legislation, national development plans, peace agreements, budgets and gazettes.
The Library serves as a reference resource for researchers, institutions, journalists and citizens both at home and in the diaspora.
LAWS · POLICIES · DOCUMENTS · ARCHIVEBudget transparency is one of the clearest gaps an independent platform can fill. Government budget documents exist, but they are rarely translated into a format that citizens or journalists can actually use.
SSIMOE's work is intended to bridge that gap — taking public information and turning it into accessible, structured evidence that can be examined, understood and used.
SSIMOE does not seek to replace government institutions, journalists or researchers. Our role is to make the information they need more accessible, organised and understandable.

South Sudan In My Own Eyes
We’re on a mission to make South Sudan’s economy and government spending visible to the people it affects most – empowering citizens to engage with policy in a real, measurable way. Through data, tracking, and analysis – from the cost of living to how government spends on education, agriculture, infrastructure, and healthcare – we turn complex issues into clear answers, so together we can drive data-informed decisions that reflect the needs of the common man
