WELCOME TO THE CSRF COUNTY PROFILES
The CSRF hosts an interactive map of South Sudan designed to help aid workers familiarise themselves with the context. This map contains basic information on geographical features, roads, and settlements that can be searched. It also includes an overlay of different administrative boundaries. This is set by default to show the 78 counties that make up South Sudan, but can also be changed to show various other configurations of state boundaries. Each county can be clicked to display further information on demographics, livelihoods, infrastructure, conflict dynamics and accessibility. Please click the button below to visit the profiles – it may take up to a minute to load so please be patient!

Q. How have the maps and boundaries been compiled?
These maps have been generated using digital maps of geographical features, roads, settlements and boundaries provided by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in South Sudan. The county profiles were compiled in Q2 2020 using a combination of publicly available data sets, reports and triangulated information provided by key informants with insight into the situation in each county. Please download the accompanying methodological note for more detailed information on how the maps and county profiles have been compiled, the sources used, and associated guidance.
The information shown on the map does not imply official recognition or endorsement of any physical, political boundaries or feature names by the CSRF, United Nations or other collaboration organisations. We recognise that some boundaries are disputed and unclear, and there are may be some errors in the way UN OCHA has drawn these boundaries or located settlements on the map. This is discussed in more detail in the methodological note.
Administrative boundaries showing the boundaries of 10, 21, 28 and 32 states in particular are historical or proposed configurations that did not reflect the position of the Government of South Sudan or parties to the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCISS) as of March 2020. They are provided simply to enable aid workers to reconcile information that was previously presented in relation to these alternative configurations.

Q. How have the county profiles been compiled?
The county profiles have been compiled using a combination of publicly available data sets, reports and triangulated information provided by key informants with insight into the situation in each county. The CSRF thanks the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) for originally producing county profiles in 2016 and enabling the CSRF to use these as a basis for the current county profiles. This information was updated by CSRF in March 2020 and will not be updated on a regular basis. For more information on the references shared by all profiles, please visit our references page.
