Strengthening Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) and Data for Increased Resilience to Crisis: country case study: South Sudan

The ‘Strengthening Education Management and Information Systems (EMIS) and Data for Increased Resilience to Crises’ initiative responds to the need for accurate and relevant education data and evidence in crisis contexts. UNESCO, in partnership with NORCAP and supported by Education Cannot Wait and SIDA, has conducted country case studies in Chad, Ethiopia, Uganda, Palestine, South Sudan and Syria to analyse recurring data challenges in crisis situations in the framework of the initiative. This case study analyses main data collection systems in South Sudan. It identifies key challenges in the way data are collected, managed and used, especially with regard to education in emergencies (EiE).
