As part of the spatial analysis of the South Sudan Conflict, Watchlist has compiled data and statistics from reports by a number of different organizations (OCHA, WHO, MSF, and other NGOs). The resulting map includes individual attacks and also reflects other data created by the SGPIA team members.

Since South Sudan is the youngest country in the world, founded in 2011, there is little data available on the country. Therefore, SGPIA team members developed the Camp Layer and Urban Landuse to provide more context on the attacks and to make the map more dynamic.
