It brings together educators, policymakers, researchers, private sector actors, development partners, and community organizations in one interactive learning and partnership space.

Purpose

South Sudan’s education sector faces significant gaps in infrastructure, teaching quality, learning outcomes, and system coordination. At the same time, many effective local and regional solutions remain under-recognized or under-supported. The Education Marketplace bridges this gap by aligning innovation with national education priorities and expanding visibility for what works.

The Marketplace aims to spotlight solutions that improve quality, access, inclusion, and system capacity in education, while strengthening collaboration between those designing policy, delivering services, and financing change.

Tentatively on 8-9th September 2026, the 2-day parallel exhibition and dialogue event will include

Day 1 – Exhibition & Innovation Showcase

Opening ceremony and keynote, followed by an interactive exhibition featuring education innovations, research posters, and EdTech demonstrations.
