The government of South Sudan has approved a sweeping set of reforms aimed at improving governance, strengthening accountability, and enhancing the delivery of public services across the country.<\/p>\n

The decisions were reached during a meeting of the Council of Ministers chaired by President Salva Kiir Mayardit, as the government intensifies efforts to implement the Revitalised Peace Agreement and restore public confidence in state institutions.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the reforms is a new policy regulating the management and use of government vehicles.<\/p>\n

Officials say the measures are intended to improve accountability, reduce misuse of public assets, and streamline operations within ministries and government agencies.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet also approved significant changes to the prison feeding system, introducing a centralised approach that places responsibility for procurement, menu planning, and monitoring under the Ministry of Interior.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the reforms are designed to ensure that prisoners across the country receive adequate, standardised nutrition while improving the efficiency of correctional facility management.<\/p>\n

In another major decision, ministers endorsed the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs\u2019 Strategic Plan for 2025\u20132030.<\/p>\n

The framework is expected to guide the ministry and its partners in implementing programs that strengthen legislative coordination and improve institutional performance over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Government officials described the reforms as part of a broader national agenda to modernise public administration and promote transparency in the management of state resources.<\/p>\n

The latest policy decisions come at a time when South Sudan continues to pursue political stability and institutional reforms under the peace agreement.<\/p>\n

Analysts say successful implementation of the new measures could play an important role in improving service delivery, boosting public trust, and reinforcing governance systems across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
