Introducing Institute of Social Policy and Research

About Us
Institute of Social Policy and Research (ISPR) is a registered non-governmental and not for profit public policy research centre founded to undertake social, economic and governance policy research, and offer tailored courses and management consultancy for civil society groups, and the public and private sector.

We bridge the policy research gaps in South Sudan and the region and offer expert analysis on public policies, legislation and capacity development mechanisms that assist to build strong institutions. ISPR also implements governance activities aimed at creating a platform for the government, the private sector, and the civil society to work together to fast-track policy development that respond to the needs of the South Sudanese people.
