South Sudan Digital Economy: South Sudan reaffirmed plans for a modern, interoperable digital public infrastructure at a forum in Tallinn, focusing on secure data exchange, digital identity, cybersecurity and cross-border services. Public Finance Debate: A minister proposed using one crude oil cargo to fund a “sports city” in Juba, but Cabinet Affairs pushed back, saying projects must follow approved budgets.
