About Rescue Data Labs
We are building South Sudan's most trusted open data platform — making national, state, and county-level statistics accessible to everyone.
Our Mission
To provide reliable, accessible, and actionable data about South Sudan to support evidence-based decision making by researchers, journalists, students, NGOs, businesses, government institutions, and citizens.
Our Vision
A South Sudan where every policymaker, journalist, student, and citizen can access reliable data to understand their country and make informed decisions for a better future.
What We Do
Aggregate Data
We collect and organize data from the National Bureau of Statistics, UN agencies, World Bank, and other trusted sources into one searchable platform.
Visualize Trends
We transform raw numbers into interactive charts, maps, and dashboards that make data understandable at a glance.
Enable Downloads
Every dataset is available for download in CSV format, with chart exports in PNG, so researchers can conduct their own analysis.
Track Progress
We monitor South Sudan's progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals, providing transparent, data-driven accountability.
Support Research
Our platform provides data and analysis for journalists, academics, NGOs, and policymakers working on South Sudan's development.
Promote Literacy
We develop educational resources to help students and teachers understand and use data effectively in classrooms across South Sudan.
