Western Bahr el Ghazal

What SSIP holds for Western Bahr el Ghazal

• 11 evidence records
• 10 carry a recorded value; 1 do not
• 1 are declared gaps — recorded absences, which are findings in their own right
• Evidence states present: 7 ANNOUNCED, 3 OPERATIONAL, 1 UNAVAILABLE
• Drawn from 7 datasets: canonical.projectsTenders, capital.opportunities, canonical.jurisdictions, canonical.counties, national.sourceRegistry, national.dataGaps, capital.funders

This is what SSIP holds, not a claim about what exists. Coverage is concentrated in Juba, Central Equatoria and the Nimule and Nile corridors; outside that scope the corpus is thin.
