However, resource endowment is not sufficient to bring about sustainable growth and prosperity. Sudans macroeconomic conditions remain weak since the secession of South Sudan in 2011, despite some improvements. The repercussions of the secession of South Sudan present enormous challenges for Sudan with respect to managing the macro-fiscal adjustment and promoting a structural re-orientation of the economy. The signing in March 2013 of the implementation matrix of the agreement between Sudan and South Sudan provides some fresh financial relief to Sudan and creates a great opportunity for further policy reforms to address the post-secession challenges. Sudans growth strategy should involve policies aimed at improving the investment climate and broadening private sector-led growth, and diversifying the economy toward non-oil sectors such as agriculture, industry, export, and local trade.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOTAX INCENTIVESWASTESUB-NATIONAL ENTITIESREVENUE PERFORMANCERISKSSUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTSREVENUE SHORTFALLSSUB- NATIONAL GOVERNMENTSGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESPOLICY REFORMSMINISTRIES OF HEALTHVACCINATIONREVENUE MOBILIZATIONCITYINTERGOVERNMENTAL FISCAL SYSTEMSTOTAL PUBLIC EXPENDITURESLAWSFISCAL TRANSFERSREVENUE PER CAPITALOCAL GOVERNMENTSCOMMUNITY HEALTHLOCAL REVENUERESOURCE ALLOCATIONTAX COLLECTIONSTATE EXPENDITURESCENTRAL BUDGETHEALTH CAREREVENUESPOLITICAL DECENTRALIZATIONREVENUE MANAGEMENTEXPENDITURES PER CAPITAHEALTHMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSREVENUE ASSIGNMENT SYSTEMTAX SYSTEMSPRISONSTAXMINISTRIES OF EDUCATIONEXPENDITURES ON HEALTHFISCAL FEDERALISMBUDGET FORMULATIONTOTAL PUBLIC EXPENDITUREREVENUE SOURCESPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC HEALTHLIFE EXPECTANCYREVENUE-GENERATING CAPACITYREVENUE ASSIGNMENTSUB- NATIONAL GOVERNMENTKNOWLEDGEDISABILITIESBUDGET ALLOCATIONSMACROECONOMIC CONTEXTMACROECONOMIC STABILITYSUB- NATIONALMINISTRYEXERCISESTOTAL EXPENDITUREMINISTRY OF HEALTHREVENUE CAPACITYREVENUE BASECOMPOSITION OF EXPENDITURESINTERVENTIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSREVENUE SOURCEHEALTH INDICATORSFEDERAL TRANSFERS TO STATESREDISTRIBUTIONCENTRAL TRANSFERSTAX EXEMPTIONSBUDGET EXECUTIONMIGRATIONTRANSFERSMINISTRIESOBSERVATIONMARKETINGTAX BASEEXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTBUDGET DEFICITCAPITAL EXPENDITURETAX REVENUESTAX COLLECTIONSPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWINTERVIEWMORTALITYALLOCATION OF RESOURCESSOCIAL SUPPORTTAX POLICIESPUBLIC INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURETAXESNUTRITIONAL STATUSFISCAL DEFICITPRIMARY SCHOOLSEXPENDITUREUNEMPLOYMENTSUB-NATIONALEQUITYFISCAL PERFORMANCESTATE MINISTRYSTATE EXPENDITUREWORKERSFEDERAL REVENUESURGERYEMERGENCY FUNDCENTRAL CONTROLSOCIAL SERVICESSTATE GOVERNMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREFEDERAL TRANSFERSBUDGET PROCESSDEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURESHEALTH POLICYMEDICAL SPECIALISTSSTATE ENTERPRISESEXPENDITURE NEEDHEALTH OUTCOMESFEDERAL GRANTSFEDERAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESCENTRAL GOVERNMENTTOTAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESLEVEL OF GOVERNMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURESFEDERAL MINISTRYSTRESSEXPENDITURESTAX BASISINTERGOVERNMENTAL FISCAL TRANSFERSCITY TRANSPORTATIONEFFICIENCY IN SERVICE DELIVERYWORKSHOPSEXPENDITURE TRACKINGTAX SHARINGQUALITY CONTROLSTATE BUDGETPRIMARY HEALTH CARETAX REVENUEREVENUE COLLECTIONTAXATIONREVENUE ASSIGNMENTSFISCAL ADJUSTMENTWEIGHTFISCAL SPACEMACROECONOMIC IMBALANCESPREGNANT WOMENTAX REVENUE MOBILIZATIONMUNICIPALITYCHILDRENCLINICSOUTSTANDING DEBTPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTFEDERAL FUNDINGMINISTRY OF FINANCEFEDERAL SPENDINGPOVERTYMINISTRIES OF FINANCEREDISTRIBUTIVE IMPACTBIRTH ATTENDANTSSTATE GOVERNORSTOTAL EXPENDITURESTAXPAYERSSECTOR EXPENDITURESFISCAL BALANCEFEDERALISMDECENTRALIZATIONFEDERAL TRANSFERREVENUETAX POLICYFEDERAL EXPENDITURECOMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERLIVING CONDITIONSCAPITAL EXPENDITURESGOVERNORSPOVERTY RATECOMMUNITYSTRATEGYTOTAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREREGISTRATIONFAMILIESMEDICINESHOSPITALSINTERMEDIARIESFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONHEALTH SERVICESIMPLEMENTATIONSTATE MINISTRIESReportWorld Bank10.1596/23506
