The document summarizes the steps taken to establish the National Soil Information System of Sudan (SUSIS) from 2013 to 2016. It involved data collection from archives and field work, data entry and harmonization, recruiting consultants, purchasing equipment, setting up a geoportal, and training on open source software and data. Various maps were produced, including soil maps, property maps on texture, carbon, and threats. Field data was merged with existing data to create national soil maps and identify gaps for further data collection and analysis. The system aims to make soil data accessible online through a geoportal.
