Republic of South Sudan : Country Integrated Fiduciary Assessment Southern Sudan, Volume 3. South Sudan Procurement Assessment ReportThe 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.

Moldova : Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR)Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. It is landlocked, bounded by Ukraine on the east and Romania on the west. Like many other former Soviet Republics, Moldova has experienced economic difficulties. Since its economy was highly dependent on the rest of the Soviet Union for energy and raw materials, the breakdown in trade following the breakup of the Soviet Union had severe impacts, exacerbated by drought and civil conflict. Moldova has made progress in economic reform since independence. The Government liberalized most prices, phased out subsidies, and privatized housing, government enterprises, agricultural state land, and other state-owned assets. However, as of early 2010, Moldova's economy has been in recession. The main sources of growth in previous years, remittances, imports, and foreign investment, were undermined by the global crisis, resulting in weaker domestic and external demand, fiscal imbalances, limited financial intermediation, and an increase in the level of poverty.

Update of the Country Procurement Assessment ReviewThis Country Procurement Assessment Review (CPAR) update is conducted jointly by the Mozambique Government, the World Bank (Bank), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the donor community with a view to update the diagnostic work carried out in 2002. The update is considered highly opportune in view of the progress achieved since the last review and in consideration of the increased Government focus on monitoring the performance of Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms, including public procurement. In this context, the objectives of the CPAR have been defined as follows: (i) to assess the public procurement systems using OECD DAC Methodology, (ii) to recommend a monitoring mechanism to measure procurement systems compliance/performance and progress toward acceptable international standards, and (iii) to identify the areas of opportunity for improvement and recommend an action plan.
