PUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Building Robust Public Financial System

We are supporting the development of efficient systems and ensuring accountability with a robust public financial management system.

CAPABILITIES

Public Financial Management

A robust public financial management system is the cornerstone of quality governance, particularly in developing economies. Today, public institutions are under immense pressure to modernise and increase transparency to provide better outcomes for citizens. Transparent and equitable public finances provide a platform for governments to deliver a strong enabling environment for business and effective public services. Our specialised team works in all aspects of the Public Financial Management (PFM) cycle to enhance its efficiency right from planning to resource allocation, and spending. We ensure adequacy, appropriateness, efficiency, effectiveness, and equity in our progress.

We work with governments (national, state, provincial, and counties), bilateral & multilateral organisations, and international & non-governmental organisations (INGOs) for developing efficient systems to ensure accountability in the management of limited public resources. We provide technical assistance on medium-term expenditure reviews, budgeting, financial monitoring, feasibility studies, and maintenance of financial records, thus strengthening public finances.
