After three years of PRSP implementation, the Government of Burkina Faso drew up a Priority Action Program (PAP) for the 2004-2006 period to enhance visibility of major actions contributing to poverty reduction. - Objectives for adopting the PAP: - Strengthen national capacity to promote results-oriented management. - Ensure cohesiveness of public policies. - Better target public investment to increase impact on the poor. - Complementary exercises initiated in 2001: - Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC). - Country Financial Accountability Assessment (CFAA). - These fed into a Budget Management Improvement Program [plan de renforcement de la gestion budgétaire, PRGB]. ### Content and structure of the PAP document - The document is organized in five parts: - Part I: Justifications for the PAP. - Part II: Major long-term development approaches and the four major pillars of the PAP. - Part III: Financing arrangements for 2004-2006 PAP implementation. - Part IV: Institutional framework and monitoring and evaluation strategy for the 2004-2006 PAP. - Part V: Major risks associated with PAP implementation. - Annexes included: logical framework, matrix of measures, monitoring and evaluation indicators, 2004-2006 MTEF of ministries and institutions, public investment program—sectoral programs. ### Recapitulation of major long-term development themes - Four main themes for sustainable development: - Strengthening actions to reduce poverty, vulnerability, and disparities. - Pursuit of high-quality macroeconomic policies to achieve strong, sustainable, and better-distributed growth. - Acceleration and strengthening of decentralization and public administration modernization. - Successful insertion into globalization and rationalization. - Main quantitative PRSP objectives: - Reduce incidence of poverty from 46.4 percent in 2003 to less than 35 percent by 2015. -

HIV/AIDS prevention. - Environment and quality of life (desertification, sanitation, rural electrification, etc.). - Improved public safety. - Small and medium enterprises and small-scale mining. - Capacity-building (including the promotion of NICTs). ### PAP overarching goals and intermediate goals for 2004-2006 - Overall PAP goal by 2006: - Reduce the overall incidence of poverty to 41 percent, corresponding to rural and urban poverty rates of 48 percent and 15 percent, respectively. - Intermediate goals: - Boost per capita GDP by at least 4 percent per year. - Improve the availability and accessibility of basic social services and social protections. - Help create jobs and incomes for the poor. - Increase the efficacy of public policies. - Central PAP theme: ensure strong and sustained economic growth to significantly reduce poverty incidence through effective macroeconomic and sectoral policies, human resource development, and good governance. ### Main strategic pillars of the PAP - Pillar 1: Accelerating broad-based growth. - Pillar 2: Promoting access by the poor to basic social services and social protection. - Pillar 3: Equitably promoting employment and income-generating activities for the poor. - Pillar 4: Promoting good governance. ### Pillar 1 — Program 1.1: Creation of conditions for broad-based growth and consolidation of macroeconomic stability - Macroeconomic growth requirement to significantly reduce poverty: -

Provide additional staff and professional training to revenue-collecting authorities to build audit and collection capacities; conduct periodic audits. - Efficacy of public investment and promotion of private investment: - Improve the system of public investment programming to enable better choices in public investment projects. - Review the content of the integrated project bank by the end of 2004 to account for growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. - Implement by 2005 a computerized multicriteria project analysis and programming instrument (including recurrent costs). - Develop a mechanism to optimally link the PIP and the annual investment budget based on strategic priorities. - Develop a permanent monitoring and evaluation system to produce periodic reports on physical and financial implementation status of investment projects (including a review of monitoring tools). - Highlight the employment aspect of public investment programs over 2004-2006 to boost incomes and reduce poverty. - Provide incentives for private investment to significantly improve the rate of private investment. *Source: _cr05341 - INTRODUCTION — https://www.imf.org/-/media/websites/imf/imported-full-text-pdf/external/pubs/ft/scr/2005/_cr05341.pdf* ### 2006. This requires an institutional environment free of constraints and an incentive-based tax ### _cr05341 - 2006. ### Institutional and tax reforms to support private sector development - Reduce obligatory business-creation formalities from 8 to 4 by 2006; time to establish a business to be reduced to one day. - Ensure smooth functioning and resourcing of the “one-stop shop” and transfer it to the Burkina Faso Entrepreneurs Center. - Put in place by late 2005 an investment code integrating tax and financial incentives for businesses that create new jobs and exploit local products. - Introduce systematic use of the unique identifier in anti-evasion efforts;

will be based on decentralization structures (Regional consultative council on development) to avoid duplication. - Additional institutional arrangements: - National conferences to validate implementation reports, assess adjustments, and make recommendations. - A framework for concertation between Government and development partners (technical and financial partners, private sector, civil society) to assess results and mobilize resources. - Executive Secretariat support role entrusted to the Technical Secretariat for the Coordination of Economic and Social Development Programs. - At regional level, Regional Directorates of the Economy and Social Development to handle liaison. ### Consolidation of evaluation systems and indicators - Objectives for consolidation: - Ensure sectoral policies serve as frames of reference for monitoring performance, including spatial (regional) dimensions. - Ensure cohesiveness of surveys and studies across the period. - Actions to encourage results-based management: - Preparing sectoral policies and strategies. - Developing regionally-driven priority action programs. - Identifying and conducting specialized surveys and studies at the regional level. - Indicator preparation and responsibility: - PAP monitoring findings will be analyzed using poverty reduction indicators identified for 2004-2006. - Indicators will be verified annually to enable timely corrective steps, notably in education and health. - ONAPAD will be responsible for indicator monitoring. - The list of PAP indicators incorporates the list of key indicators annexed to the revised PRSP; sectoral-level indicators may be selected as relevant and updated following the PRSP process. ### Activities to prepare the next PAP (2007-2009) and related capacity building - Preparation of the PAP for 2007-2009 will be carried out jointly with the 2006 PRSP revision. - Supplementary activities required: - Establish a permanent mechanism for sectoral and topic-based commissions to operate optimally. - Initiate preparation and updating of sectoral policies and strategies. - Ensure sectoral policies and strategies are consistent with the PRSP. - Immediate task (first half of 2004): prepare basic documents for commissions (guidelines, terms of reference, regulatory guidance) and identify sources and amounts of operating resources. - Sectoral policy objectives: - Provide vision and objectives for each sector. - Indicate resources required to achieve objectives and define contributions of stakeholders to mobilize resources. - Harmonize sectoral policies to avoid duplication and enhance synergistic contributions to PRSP aims. - Capacity building for M&E and national statistical system: - Train statisticians; revitalize statistical function within DEPs of ministerial departments. - Hardware improvements and establishment of networks for information exchange. - Priority action program for building capacities in training, equipping, networking, and motivation for statistical units. - Enhance dynamism of the National Statistical Coordination Council (CNCS) and supplement efforts via specialized commissions to bring together major statistical producers (DEPs, INSD). - Objective: establish an official timetable for publication of statistical yearbooks by all major sectoral departments by end-2004; timetable to be submitted to the Council of Ministers for approval. ### Monitoring and evaluation activities and review processes - Annual review of the PAP: - PAP will be reviewed yearly against sectoral activity results. - Reference documents for annual review include: - Reports of sectoral and topic-based commissions. - Directives of the ministerial steering and monitoring commission. - Proposals from Government–technical partner concertation. - Reports of regional poverty reduction authorities. - Proposals from national PRSP commissions, civil society, and private sector. - Reports evaluating PRSP implementation. - Between reviews, efforts must be made to: - Ensure effective operation of sectoral and topic-based commissions (report schedules, terms of reference, operating resources). - Maintain support and participation of stakeholders in validating periodic evaluation reports. - Encourage autonomous evaluation by stakeholders including civil society and private sector. - Production of periodic (quarterly or half-yearly) implementation-status reports is anticipated; their form and contents to be defined in legal/regulatory provisions. - Annual implementation reports are submitted to the STC-PDES, which consolidates overall PRSP progress including the PAP; Directorate-General of Economy and Planning provides the PIP report. - Annual review chaired by the Minister of Economy and Development with secretariat services by STC-PDES; stakeholders decide on improvements and the review issues recommendations to partners. - Final review of the PAP: - Held at the end of the third year of implementation. - STC-PDES prepares a consolidated report to analyze achievement of objectives, problems encountered, and proposals for the next three-year program. ### Major risks - Primary risks identified: - (i) Delays in reporting progress on development programs have often caused delays in budget support disbursements, jeopardizing objective attainment; meeting disbursement conditions for budgetary support constitutes a considerable risk to financing availability for covering the budget gap. - (ii) Transparent management of public affairs is increasingly a sine qua non condition for continued budgetary support from certain technical and financial partners. - (iii) Problems with absorptive capacity remain a concern as project implementation delays persist despite recent efforts to accelerate resource use. - (iv) Slippages in public finance management, failure to observe performance criteria, and problems monitoring HIPC Initiative indicators may call into question dialogue with development partners. - Mitigating factors and recommended approaches: - Recent performance on PRGF and PRSC implementation suggests these risks can be attenuated. - Use of the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) helps identify public expenditure consistent with Central Government capacities and target priority development sectors. - Favorable developments noted for activities of the Audit Office and the High Authority for Combating Corruption. - Budget support initiative associated with PRSP implementation (SBC/CSLP) attenuates risk by permitting correction through the annual PRSP review; it would be beneficial to broaden this initiative to other partners. - Government intends to establish a frame of reference for budgetary support drawing on lessons from PRSC (World Bank), SBC/CSLP, and PASRP (AfDB). *Source: _cr05341 - 3.2 Financing of the Priority Action Program* ### ANNEX 1: LOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE ACTION PROGRAM ### ANNEX 1: LOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE ACTION PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PRSP FOR THE PERIOD 2004-2006 ### Development objective: Reduce the incidence of poverty - Target: Reduce the incidence of poverty from 46.4 percent in 2003 to 41 percent in 2006. - Outcomes: - Incidence of poverty: 41 percent by 2006 - Incidence of urban poverty: 15 percent by 2006 - Incidence of rural poverty: 48 percent by 2006 - Means of verification: - Surveys on household living conditions - Stocktaking of implementation of the action program for the PRSP - Adoption of the PRSP and the Priority Action Program - Agreements with Technical and Financial Partners - Holding of Round Table - Finalization and adoption of the forward-looking study on “Burkina Faso 2025” - Critical conditions: - Adoption and implementation of public policies and arrangements with IMF (PRGF) and World Bank (PRSC) - Preparation and implementation of a national capacity building program ### PILLAR 1: ACCELERATING BROAD-BASED GROWTH - Objective: Increase per capita GDP by at least 4 percent a year beginning in 2004. - 1.1 Consolidation of macroeconomic stability — programs: - Encouragement of private investment - Enhanced mobilization of domestic resources - Accelerated implementation of the Plan to Strengthen Budgetary Management (PRGB) - Improvement of the system for programming public investment - Key performance indicators (macroeconomic): - Annual GDP growth rate: 6.5 percent on average - Annual growth of per capita GDP: 4 percent - Average annual inflation rate: 1.7 percent - Average tax ratio: 11.7% - Basic budget balance, excluding grants (in percent of GDP): 8.9 percent on average - External current deficit, excluding grants (in percent of GDP): 10.1 percent on average - Ratio of investments financed domestically by tax receipts: 43.2 percent on average - Means of verification: - MTEF, annual stocktaking, BCEAO monetary statistics, national accounts, TOFE - Critical conditions: - Adoption and implementation of effective public policies;
