A high-level Government Committee on Economic Reform has arrived in Nimule to assess operations at South Sudan’s busiest border crossing as part of efforts to strengthen revenue collection and improve economic governance.
The assessment aims to identify practical measures to enhance efficiency at the Nimule Border, curb revenue leakages, and improve coordination among government agencies operating at the country’s main entry point.
During the visit, the committee is expected to engage customs officials, immigration authorities, security agencies, and other key stakeholders to evaluate existing systems and recommend reforms that will maximise domestic revenue collection.
Nimule Border remains South Sudan’s primary gateway for imports and exports, making it one of the country’s most strategic sources of government revenue.
Officials believe that improving transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency at the border will play a vital role in boosting national income, supporting economic recovery, and promoting sustainable development.
Upon concluding its assessment, the committee is expected to submit its findings and recommendations to the national government to guide further reforms aimed at strengthening border management and public revenue mobilisation.
