Republic of South Sudan : Country Integrated Fiduciary Assessment Southern Sudan, Volume 3. South Sudan Procurement Assessment ReportWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-10-03)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.
