Independent research, credible analysis, and policy insight trusted by governments, donors, and civil society across Africa.
Three pillars that define how we contribute to South Sudan's development and the wider region.
Rigorous, independent research on governance, security, natural resources, and socio-economic development — produced by our fellows and advisors.
Bringing together government, civil society, academia, and international partners to debate solutions and shape South Sudan's policy agenda.
Nurturing a new generation of researchers, analysts, and leaders through fellowships, trainings, and collaborative programs across the region.
Established in July 2011, just a week after the country's independence, CSPS exists to strengthen governance and inform policy through rigorous, independent research.
We work across disciplines — governance, security, natural resources, science and technology, ethnicity studies — bringing together scholars, policymakers, and civil society to address the country's most pressing challenges.
"Living the Future Today"
Building a democratic state and a well-informed nation — working towards a stable, prosperous, and peaceful South Sudan and the region.
Enhancing the debate on governance, nation, and state-building through applied policy research that adds balance, objectivity, and critical thinking.
A growing library of policy analysis, reports, book reviews, and specialised research.
We work with donors, foundations, governments, and research institutions who believe in the power of evidence to transform South Sudan and the wider region.
