South Sudan’s NCA Establishes Gateway Services and Data Center Oversight Committee
Its work will focus on improving regulatory oversight while ensuring that operations align with national sovereignty and security priorities.
The National Communication Authority (NCA) has established a Gateway Services and Data Center Oversight Committee following a high-level meeting chaired by its Director General, Mr. Rizig Dominic Samuel, with mgi communications ag (MGI).
The committee is mandated to strengthen governance, accountability, and institutional control over South Sudan’s gateway services and national data center infrastructure. Its work will focus on improving regulatory oversight while ensuring that operations align with national sovereignty and security priorities.
Key areas of focus include the digitization of revenue streams from the South Sudan International Gateway (SSIGW) and the modernization of existing infrastructure to support the country’s broader digital transformation agenda. These measures are expected to enhance transparency, efficiency, and sustainability across the communications sector.
Through improved oversight and digitized revenue collection, the NCA aims to ensure that national communication resources contribute directly to economic growth, technological independence, and a more connected digital ecosystem for South Sudan.
MGI, a Swiss-based international telecommunications company, manages South Sudan’s international gateway services and critical data center infrastructure. The company specializes in integrated voice, data, and infrastructure management for emerging markets and is currently working on digitizing national revenue systems, upgrading gateway technology, and expanding digital inclusion to underserved regions across the country.
