Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan on Tuesday officially joined the Macroeconomic and Financial Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa (MEFMI).<\/p>\n

MEFMI is an intergovernmental organization specializing in training and capacity building programs for member countries in areas of macroeconomic and financial sector management.<\/p>\n

South Sudan becomes the 15th member of the regional institute.<\/p>\n

The accession document was signed by South Sudan\u2019s Governor of the Bank of South Sudan, Dr. James Alic Garang, and Dr. Louis Kasekende, Executive Director of MEFMI.<\/p>\n

Agok Makur Kur, South Sudan\u2019s Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning, highlighted the anticipated benefits of membership during the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the value of regional training in areas such as financial resource mobilization and institutional capacity building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate significant advantages from membership in regional training institutes. This includes training not just in debt management and macroeconomics, but also in resource mobilization,\u201d Makur said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica has an abundance of resources that require proper utilization. Through MEFMI\u2019s training and capacity-building programs, we can develop the skills necessary to effectively manage these resources,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Garang acknowledged MEFMI\u2019s established expertise in Southern Africa and expressed South Sudan\u2019s commitment to catching up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are joining an institute with a proven track record in Southern Africa. While we may be a newer member, we are not a new nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are confident in our ability to learn quickly and contribute to the organization. We are ready to work hard and pick up where others have left off,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Louis Austin Kasekende, Executive Director of MEFMI, outlined the range of training programs offered by the institute.<\/p>\n

These include foundation courses, intermediate training, and advanced courses tailored to the specific needs of member countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that member countries have varying levels of expertise. \u201cWe offer a range of programs to cater to these differing needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoundation courses are available for those requiring a basic understanding, while intermediate and advanced courses are available for those seeking to upskill or specialize,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

MEFMI was established in 1994 under the name Eastern and Southern Africa Initiative in Debt and Reserves Management.<\/p>\n

It was later renamed the Macroeconomic and Fiscal Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa in 1997.<\/p>\n
