Implementation Setup for PFM Reforms July 2018 – June 2023

The framework for implementation of the agreed reforms hinges on interaction of the key stakeholders including Government ministries, departments and local governments, development partners and civil society.

The key arrangements include:

  1. The Public Expenditure Management Committee (PEMCOM) – to provide high level policy guidance and control of the PFM reforms. This is led by the Permanent Secretary/Secretary to the Treasury together with Development Partners and Civil Society.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. REAP Funding Partners Committee (FPC) – to provide a forum for dialogue between budget-support funding partners and GoU on the REAP Programme.
  5. 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.
