AICD provides a baseline against which future improvements in infrastructure services can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results achieved from donor support. It also offers a solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in Africa's infrastructure sectors. The AICD is based on an unprecedented effort to collect detailed economic and technical data on African infrastructure. The project has produced a series of original reports on public expenditure, spending needs, and sector performance in each of the main infrastructure sectors, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. This report presents the key AICD findings for South Sudan, allowing the country's infrastructure situation to be benchmarked against that of its African peers. South Sudan is a newly independent country, affected by conflict, endowed with oil, but poor in terms of infrastructure and economic development. Because of these factors, both low-income, fragile states and resource-rich benchmarks will be used to evaluate its performance. Detailed comparisons will also be made with immediate regional neighbors in the East African Community (EAC).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYACCESSIBILITYADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADSLAIRAIR SAFETYAIR SERVICEAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRAVELAIRCRAFTAIRPORTARTERYASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINEAVAILABILITY OF DATAAVERAGE TARIFFBACKBONEBACKUPBANDWIDTHBEST PRACTICESBORDER CROSSINGSBOTTLENECKSBRIDGEBUSINESS ACTIVITYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESSESCABLECAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL COSTSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL INVESTMENTCARCARBON EMISSIONSCARGOCARRIERSCELL PHONECOLLECTION OF BILLSCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMPETITIVENESSCONGESTIONCONGESTION PROBLEMSCONNECTION SPEEDSCONNECTIVITYCOPYRIGHTCOST OF POWERCOST OF TRANSPORTATIONCOST RECOVERYCOSTS OF POWERCOSTS OF TRAVELCROSSINGDIESELDIGITAL SUBSCRIBERDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSDOMESTIC TRAVELE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MODELELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY SECTOREND USERSENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSFEEDER ROADSFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL VIABILITYFREIGHTFREIGHT COSTSFREIGHT MOVEMENTFUELFUEL PRICESFUEL SUBSIDIESFUELSGENERATIONGENERATION CAPACITYGENERATION COSTSGENERATORSHEAVY RELIANCEINFORMATION COMMUNICATIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE FUNDINGINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGINNOVATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATIONINTERNATIONAL AVIATIONINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL GATEWAYSINTERNATIONAL TRAVELINTERURBAN ROADINTERURBAN ROADSINVESTMENT TARGETSJOURNEYLENGTH OF ROADSLICENSELIMITED ACCESSLITERACY RATESMANAGEMENT CONTRACTSMANUFACTURINGMARGINAL COSTSMARKET ACCESSMARKET CONCENTRATIONMARKET SHAREMATERIALMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILE COMMUNICATIONSMOBILE NETWORKSMOBILE PHONEMOBILE SERVICESMODES OF TRANSPORTMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTNATURAL RESOURCEOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYPENETRATION RATEPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPORT CONGESTIONPOSTAL SERVICESPOWERPOWER COSTSPOWER NETWORKPOWER PRICESPOWER SECTORPOWER SYSTEMSPRICE DIFFERENTIALPRICE OF DIESELPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTUREQUERIESRAILRAIL LINEREGIONAL NETWORKSREGIONAL TRANSPORTRESIDENTIAL USERSRESULTREVENUE COLLECTIONROADROAD CONDITIONSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD LINKSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD QUALITYROAD SECTORROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROUTERURAL ACCESSRURAL ROADSSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSANITATION UTILITIESSATELLITESATELLITE CONNECTIONSSECURITY STANDARDSSPEEDSSTORAGE FACILITIESSURFACE TRANSPORTTARGETSTAXTECHNICAL STANDARDSTECHNICAL SUPPORTTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRYTELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURETELEPHONETELEPHONYTRADING PATTERNSTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSITTRANSMISSIONTRANSMISSION CAPACITYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT CONDITIONSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INDICATORSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKSTRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATION NETWORKTRAVEL TIMETRIPTRUCKING COMPANIESTRUCKSUSESWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWEALTHWEB SITEWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27269
