The key arrangements include:

- PFM Reform Clusters – Set up for each strategic objective of the reforms to manage sequencing, prioritization and coordination of all reform interventions – thereby focusing PEMCOM dialogue.
- Technical Working Groups – set up under each cluster to deepen thematic discussions and harmonize implementation on specialized areas within the strategy. These work groups feed the Clusters with technical advisory.
- REAP Funding Partners Committee (FPC) – to provide a forum for dialogue between budget-support funding partners and GoU on the REAP Programme.
- PFM Reforms Secretariat – to support the Government Task Manager for coordination of resources and strategic actions for implementation of PFM Reforms, as well as any other support for management of Government projects and programmes such as the REAP programme. It is also Secretariat to PEMCOM.
