Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs)

Samverkansmodellen återspeglar myndighetens viljeriktning att åstadkomma ett samarbete med andra svenska myndigheter som är av mer strategisk karaktär utifrån regeringens tematiska prioriteringar. Avsikten är att gå från ett projektbaserat arbetssätt till ett mer programinriktat, där en myndighet får ett tydligare samordningsansvar för ett helt program och involverar andra svenska myndigheter och aktörer i genomförandet. Mot denna bakgrund har Sida utvecklat en samverkansmodell med ankarmyndighet och referensgrupp som centrala komponenter.

This report assesses Sida’s South Sudan portfolio across all sectors and strategies in 2019.

Main evaluation method: we reviewed the 32 active contributions in South Sudan, with special focus on the 8 contributions in the South Sudan Strategy.

Positives: Given the pervasive needs and widespread poverty in South Sudan, we find it relevant that Sida’s portfolio of contributions directly address people living in poverty. The widespread poverty in South Sudan has allowed for the target groups to be defined rather broadly (i.e., women and girls being the primary target group).  Nevertheless, our review indicated that specific vulnerable groups, such as people living with disabilities and IDPs are also targeted by the contributions.

Potential shortcomings:  Donors’ efforts to build Government capacity have yielded limited results. Directly addressing people living in poverty has its limitations in terms of sustainability: Sida’s partners deliver primarily direct services or support to the population, rather than indirectly alleviating poverty through institution-building or systems strengthening. However, the challenges of working with the Government leave few viable alternatives.
