The event, held at the Authority’s headquarters from 23 to 24 October 2025, focused on developing practical training skills, innovative teaching methods, and a culture of continuous learning among staff.
The Commissioner General of SSRA, Mr Simon Akuei Deng, said the workshop was part of the Authority’s wider effort to enhance efficiency and promote tax compliance through improved knowledge sharing. He commended the participants for their dedication to strengthening South Sudan’s revenue systems.

The refresher programme provided participants with modern training techniques, practical case studies, and feedback mechanisms to improve the quality and delivery of future sessions.
