The States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) Programme is a World Bank assisted programme aimed at strengthening the institutional delivery capacity of the states through capacity building, fundamentally in Public Financial Management (PFM) and Open Government Principles (OGP).
