Why it matters
Information alone does not improve learning. Outcome 4 turns data from every part of EFASS into evidence that government and partners can act on, and asks one question: which learning recovery approaches work best, and how can they be financed at scale?
What we do
SSSAMS and EMIS
Strengthening the national systems already in use, rather than building parallel ones.
Learning Outcomes and Quality Assessment
Working with MoGEI's Assessment Technical Working Group so results feed into national systems.
Evidence and adaptive management
Regular reviews that turn findings into course-correction during implementation.
Cost and financing evidence
Linking cash transfer and programme cost data to outcomes, including the planned IFMIS connection.
How we track progress
- Data quality at source: accuracy, completeness and timeliness
- Assessment rounds completed and published in national systems
- Evidence reviews held and decisions taken from them
- Use of evidence by MoGEI and partners
Education data: SSSAMS
The South Sudan Schools Attendance Monitoring System is the national platform Outcome 4 strengthens rather than replaces. It is live today, hosted within MoGEI's national Education Management Information System.
Its modules are connected: once a learner is registered, they appear in the attendance module automatically, and in the cash transfer module if they are in an eligible class. A learner is entered once and followed throughout their time in school.

National figures, not EFASS results.
What SSSAMS records
Learners
One persistent identifier per learner, with a year-by-year record of promotion, repetition, transfer and transition between education levels.
Attendance
Daily attendance for learners and teachers, linked to the same identifiers.
Cash transfers
Learners appear for cash transfers automatically when they fall within an eligible class, then move through validation and payment.
Schools and teachers
School records with an SSSAMS code and a national EMIS identifier, and teacher records with their own persistent code.
Inclusion
Disability recorded across six functional domains using the Washington Group Questions, and each learner's displacement status.
Mobile and web
A mobile app for school-level data collection, including offline registration, and a national web dashboard.
Evidence and research
Research, evaluations and reports that inform EFASS are collected in the evidence library.
