Data

The Data workspace serves as repositories and interfaces for querying, visualizing, and exporting indicators data related to SDGs and the environment. SDGS focuses on SDG indicators data and identifying environment-related indicators, while SDIS enables managing data across environmental, economic, and social domains for reporting needs.

Integrated Environmental Assessment

The IEA workspace provides frameworks, training, and tools to develop comprehensive integrated environmental analyses and reports to inform decision-making. SOERS supports developing standardized state of the environment reports, while CCA-NESS generates background information to support common country analyses.

Training

The Training module builds capacity for integrated environmental assessments through hands-on tutorials, exercises, and videos

South Sudan Environmental Information System (EIS)

Enhancing Environmental Data Management in South Sudan

The South Sudan Environmental Information System (EIS) Portal is a collaborative initiative between South Sudan, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) aimed at advancing environmental data management and promoting sustainable development in the country. This comprehensive platform serves as a centralized hub for data sharing, analysis, and reporting, with a particular focus on monitoring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The primary objective of the South Sudan EIS Portal is to facilitate the collection, organization, and dissemination of environmental information in South Sudan. By providing a user-friendly interface and standardized data formats, the portal enables policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders to access and utilize a wide range of national and regional sustainable development datasets.

This system offers a suite of tools and modules designed to support environmental reporting, data exchange, and capacity building for national experts. Through the EIS Portal, users can access components such as the Integrated Environmental Assessment (IEA), SDGs data, and spatial analysis module, which enhance the understanding and management of environmental resources.

The South Sudan EIS Portal also emphasizes capacity building by providing training resources on data management, indicator interpretation, and IEA methodologies. By empowering individuals and institutions with the necessary skills and knowledge, the portal strengthens the technical capacity of national experts to track progress towards their national environmental goals and the SDGs. This collaborative approach fosters a more unified and efficient approach to environmental conservation and sustainable development across the continent.

Furthermore, the South Sudan EIS Portal serves as a vital tool for enhancing the science-policy interface in South Sudan. By bridging the gap between scientific research, data interpretation, and policy formulation, the portal promotes evidence-based decision-making. Policymakers can access comprehensive and accurate environmental assessments through the portal, enabling them to make informed decisions on environmental regulations and strategies.
