What this is not
Almost every serious error in operational data is a category error rather than an arithmetic one. These are the things this indicator shares a unit with and must never be combined with.
- Corridor transit time from Mombasa or Kampala, which includes road running time this figure excludes.
- A queue length or a truck count.
How current a reading has to be
Current within 30 days, usable within 120 days, measured against the 2026-09-23 build rather than against the time you read this page. A static deployment cannot re-age itself, so the build date is the honest anchor.
Flood-defence freeboard and border dwell times respond to rainfall and staffing within weeks. A month-old reading is a fair description of present conditions; a four-month-old one is not.

As the source states it: “18 hrs”
What SSIP says about it
- Average truck dwell time, Nimule border post: 18 hours, recorded 2026-08-26 by NRA Customs Telemetry, EAC Single Customs Clearance Log, Nimule Border Observers. Inside this indicator's 30-day currency window as of 2026-09-23.
Rule: Take the most recent dated observation bound to this indicator and classify its age against the indicator's own freshness policy (30 days current, 120 days usable — Flood-defence freeboard and border dwell times respond to rainfall and staffing within weeks. A month-old reading is a fair description of present conditions; a four-month-old one is not.).
Does not establish: That the condition still holds today. This is the most recent reading SSIP holds, not a statement about 2026-09-23. Corridor transit time from Mombasa or Kampala, which includes road running time this figure excludes.
What SSIP does not hold
- Two readings only, both from the same recorded change event. This is not a series.
- No dwell observation exists for any other crossing.
How to read this
Every figure on this page carries an evidence state — Verified, Operational, Announced, Estimated, Inferred, Disputed, Simulated, Reference or Unavailable — and each state has a stated definition. SSIP does not present an estimate as an observation, and it does not record a missing value as zero.
