Executive summary and context
- Focus: strengthening the performance of public investment management – next phase.
- Significant progress achieved since 2015 in strengthening public investment management, with the reforms showing first results.
- Recent strengthening of Public Investment Management processes has been accomplished with limited changes to the legal framework.
Key findings
- New procedures need to be designed to refresh project information and assess the status of ongoing projects.
- Discussions with Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and the mission’s analysis of the upgraded project data identified inconsistencies between:
- projects’ planned use of resources,
- approved project budgets, and
- the medium-term resource envelope.
- Reliable and updated information on project forward estimates and commitments like signed contracts and certificates of work is fundamental for ensuring sufficient and timely funding of projects.
Recommended actions / next-phase priorities
- Design and implement procedures to refresh project information and assess the status of ongoing projects.
- With better information, implement a robust prioritization process of ongoing and new projects within the medium-term envelope.
- Address inconsistencies between planned resource use, approved budgets, and the medium-term resource envelope through data reconciliation and strengthened reporting of forward estimates and commitments.
