Speaking to Gurtong, one of the participants Florence Konga Emmanuel said the training would help in the democratic development of South Sudan. The Researchers will commence the field work early next week. Similar public opinion researches were conducted in 2011 and 2012 in the country and future plans are under way to conduct one national poll annually the next two years.
