Abstract
The purpose of this assessment is to
assess the public finance management (PFM) system
performance of the Northern Bahr el Ghazal State Government
(NBGSG). The assessment is one of a number of public
expenditure and financial accountability (PEFA) assessments
being conducted in South Sudan. The PEFA assessment is
focused on the PFM systems of NBGSG in South Sudan and the
county of Aweil West, one of NBGS's six counties. The
state governments are implementing the same PFM reform
programs as at the central government level, with the help
of Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP) and key
spending agencies (for example, health), supported by
technical assistance from donors, particularly United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP): economic planning
project, local government and recovery project, and rapid
capacity placement initiative. The sequence is similar to
that of the central government PFM reform program, with
initial strong emphasis on strengthening planning and
budgeting systems and using the same techniques. Reforms in
budget execution are also similar, though somewhat lagging
the reforms at central level.
