[Peter Lokale Nakim By Peter Lokale Nakimangole TORIT, 26 March 2013 [Gurtong] – A team from Deloitte said as they visited the Eastern Equatoria State Governor Louis Lobong Lojore in Torit to share experiences and assess on governance in state institutions and brief the governor on the purpose of the project. They clarified that Deloitte is the implementing agency while USAID is the main donor for the upcoming capacity building project. On his turn, the governor greatly welcomed the USAID’s initiative and hopes his state could be selected for the upcoming project so to assist in developing state capacity in relation to governance. The state Investment Minister Stella Lorika Brenda also joined her colleagues to welcome the USAID idea but she strongly recommended Eastern Equatoria state to be one of the beneficiaries since the state lacks necessary skills and knowledge on governance level and affairs. Among institutions the Deloitte organization’s team was visiting today included the State Ministry of Labour, Public Service and Human Resources Development and State Legal Administration. Prior to independence and during the early stages of nationhood, Deloitte supported USAID’s efforts to provide the Government of South Sudan with tools it needs as a sovereign nation to govern and cope with the raised expectations of its people. Deloitte has been working with ministries to build capacity in effectively managing public resources, specifically through targeted assistance around budget execution, procurement, tax administration, reporting, tax policy, customs, debt management, intergovernmental financial framework, and human resource information management. The result of this has been an increase in the quality and quantity of service delivery, leading to tangible social and economic improvements to the lives of the citizenry and the integration of these diverse communities as a political unit. Deloitte continues to provide technical assistance to help efforts to build the institutional and human capacity of the executive leadership function, strategic communications, the legal framework, public financial management, the financial services sector and the petroleum sector.
