Since August 2006, UNJLC has maintained a GIS-mapping capacity in Juba, Southern Sudan, aiming to improve humanitarian logistics coordination. Foremost in that effort has been to accurately map the roads of Southern Sudan and their cargo capacity. Accurate and up-to-date road mapping serves both the humanitarian community and the broader government and private sector needs for basic infrastructure information in the dynamic post-conflict environment.

South Sudan PCODES

UNJLC has developed a PCODE Settlement Locator for South Sudan.

PCODES are unique location identification codes. For each settlement, the locator lists its State, County and Payam, together with its PCODE. These codes are based on the established Sudan Inter-Agency Mapping (SIM) boundaries - available at www.unsudanig.org/sim/index.php.

When collecting or recording settlement information, please also supply the settlement PCODE. This will ensure consistency and avoid confusion where multiple settlements have the same name or multiple spellings.

The list is not exhaustive, so if there are settlements missing, please email sudan.maps@unjlc.org the details together with GPS coordinates, and the list will be updated.
