Southern Sudan is an autonomous region within Sudan, formed following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005. Juba is its capital city. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the east, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, and the Central African Republic to the west. To the north lie the states of Southern Darfur, Southern Kordufan, White Nile and
Blue Nile which fall under the Northern region of Sudan. As the region enters a particularly important period, with the referendum for self determination scheduled to take place on 9th January 2011, it is important to ensure that available data and information is put to the best
possible use. This document is intended as a quick reference to available statistical information on the region.
We hope it will serve its purpose of being an introduction to the statistics available for government, policy makers, the international community and all those who are interested in Southern Sudan.
