South Sudan

South Sudan, located in East-Central Africa, is a landlocked nation with a mostly rural population. The country's geography, with vast plains interrupted by the White Nile and its tributaries, can cause challenges for infrastructure development, particularly for technologies and telecommunications. Infrastructure solutions are mostly in a primitive state due to the region's ongoing civil unrest and high poverty rates. The telecommunications sector is underdeveloped with a low tele-density, and the majority of the population lacks access to basic telecommunication services. The country relies heavily on mobile networks as the primary means of communication. In terms of energy, South Sudan is largely dependent on rudimentary forms of energy like biomass, with renewable energy technologies still in infancy stages. Technological development is also limited, though some unique solutions have been implemented, such as the use of solar energy to power water pumps in rural areas.
