The government of South Sudan has engaged Crawford Capital Limited to support digital transformation initiatives across government institutions.
South Sudan described the engagements with Crawford Capital as lawful and transparent, and part of broader reforms aimed at modernising public administration and revenue collection systems.
South Sudan’s Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and Postal Services and the South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) said Crawford Capital had been engaged through approved government frameworks and procedures to support digitisation efforts in the country.
The Minister of ICT, Ateny Wek, said the collaboration with Crawford Capital focuses on developing and researching electronic government services, commonly known as e-services, as part of South Sudan’s broader digital transformation agenda.
The initiative aims to improve public services and strengthen institutional effectiveness across government departments.
Wek further noted that the engagement aligns with resolutions approved by the Council of Ministers and forms part of governance reforms intended to modernise public administration.
“Crawford Capital is providing technical and research support to help strengthen digital workflows, improve administrative coordination, and contribute to the development of citizen-centred e-services tailored to the South Sudan context,” said Wek.
The ministry said the firm has provided technical and professional support toward advancing South Sudan’s digital transformation objectives.
At the same time, the South Sudan Revenue Authority said its partnership with Crawford Capital in digitising national revenue collection systems has improved revenue administration and reduced operational inefficiencies that previously affected collections.
The SSRA stated that before the implementation of digital systems, revenue collection processes were largely manual, creating weak oversight mechanisms, delayed reconciliations and exposing government revenues to possible leakages.
“The newly introduced digital revenue systems now support real-time transaction monitoring, reconciliation, auditability and enforcement of revenue collection procedures,” said SSRA.
According to SSRA, the reforms are currently generating approximately 130 billion South Sudanese Pounds every month, with cumulative collections nearing one trillion South Sudanese Pounds over the last eight months.
The Authority said the highest monthly collections were recorded in April 2026, attributing the performance to the digital systems and governance structures.
SSRA further stressed that the engagement with Crawford Capital was undertaken within established institutional procedures and government-approved reform frameworks, including endorsement by the Council of Ministers.
“The Authority reiterates that this engagement was conducted lawfully, transparently, and within the framework of government-approved reform initiatives aimed at modernising public revenue administration and strengthening state institutions,” the statement said.
The revenue authority also reaffirmed its commitment to digital transformation initiatives aimed at accountability, efficiency and public trust in revenue administration systems across South Sudan.
