Aid
The management of aid money in a country that largely relies on external sources of funding is a major
area of concern. According to the International Crisis Group 2013, there is no reliable database covering all
development funds. The above mentioned report by the Public Financial Management Unit in the Office of
the Prime Minister revealed that a large majority of the central government's revenue has never been
recorded and it also uncovered large scale misappropriation of donor funds. This is confirmed by a 2012
World Bank report looking at the years 2009 and 2010, which reveals that large sums of money received by
the TFG have not been accounted for, with an alleged discrepancy of about $130m in the accounts over
the two years. The report does not rule out corruption as a possible explanation for the missing government
revenue funds.
