This group explores the lessons-learned from capacity-building on PFM in South Sudan, including findings from the EU Technical Assistance for Sub-national Capacity Building in Payroll and PFM (EUTAPP) as implemented by Ecorys. This EU-funded programme was designed to build the capacity of local governments to effectively perform their responsibilities regarding PFM and payroll, and specifically to support:
Local governments—in meeting requirements of South Sudan's LG PFM Manual: planning and budgeting, financial management/accounting, preparing and submitting quarterly budget performance reports/financial reporting,
States, to analyse current payrolls, identify county staff, separate state and county staff payrolls,
County Administration Departments, to properly manage their payroll,
Establishment and operation of County Transfer Monitoring Committee (CTMCs).
The first phase started in August 2014 and was extended until the end of August 2016, for a total amount of approximately EUR 5.5 million.
