Abstract
The purpose of this Country Integrated
Fiduciary Assessment (CIFA) is: (i) to assess the quality of
public finance management and procurement systems in South
Sudan; and (ii) to then determine the extent of fiduciary
risk posed to domestic and external tax payers by the
government's use of their funds through these systems.
South Sudan has great potential for further increases in
living standards, but achieving them will require large
improvements in public services, both in access and in
quality. In turn, Public Finance Management (PFM) and
procurement systems need to be strengthened in order to
improve public services; this will require linking spending
more tightly to policy objectives and strengthening the
operational efficiency of expenditures. In sum, strengthened
PFM and procurement systems are not an end in themselves
but, rather, the necessary means to achieving the ultimate
objective: improved service delivery in South Sudan. This
CIFA will be used by the Government of the Republic of South
Sudan (GRSS) and by the country state governments to inform
their design or reforms of PFM and procurement systems and,
in the case of development partners, to inform their design
or revision of technical and financial assistance programs
and projects in support of the reforms.
