South Sudan Development Cooperation Dashboard Updated to boost development aid transparency and strengthened coordination

Juba, South Sudan – The United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office (UNRCO) and the Development Partners’ Group (DPG), with technical support from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, has completed the second update of the South Sudan Development Cooperation Dashboard. This milestone reinforces efforts to enhance aid transparency, improve coordination, and support data-driven development planning.

 First launched in December 2024, the dashboard closes critical gaps in reporting and tracking development assistance to South Sudan. The dynamic platform offers a centralized, user-friendly interface that enables stakeholders to access real-time data on development projects, funding sources, implementation progress and geographic coverage. Available publicly on the UN South Sudan website, it champions transparency and accountability. 

The latest update, conducted between February and May 2025, was achieved through close collaboration with international donors and UN agencies. It incorporated fresh data submissions, including from a new donor, Switzerland, and enhanced the database’s accuracy and comprehensiveness. Currently aggregating information from 11 international donors and UN entities, the dashboard provides an essential snapshot of funding flows showing who is financing what, where, and when. It is a vital tool for improving coordination among partners, aligning investments with national development goals, and enabling smarter resource allocation to accelerate progress toward the aspirations of the South Sudanese people.
