PFM -Lessons from Harmonization Lack of common understanding and proper coordination among various Ministries and Govt Departments Differing Development Assistance Strategy by Donors PFM priorities often not synchronized and lost

Harmonization- Broad Picture PEDP II: 10 donors under one implementation Framework- ADB leads Common PFM system (Reporting and Auditing) Multi- lateral donors like WB and ADB harmonized individual requirements ( Common Withdrawal Application, audit reporting period) Agreed FM Improvement Plan

Harmonization- Broad Picture (continued) HNPSP: Pool and Non Pool Donors under common PFM system - WB leads NO PIUs ; No Special Account Govt spent first including donors share Agreed Audit TOR with C & AG Common Audit and Reporting Strengthen FM Framework including improvement plan for the Sector Alignment of donor assistance on PFM along with GoB priority plans, PRSP, ROSC, CAS, PER PFM Task Force – a common platform by donors and Govt led by MOF An Aid Governance Group (ERD) consisting of Donor and Govt – Country Harmonization Action Plan

Process & Financial Delegation Develop Procurement Management Capacity Publish Contract Awards Introduce Appeal Procedures

Proc.

Lessons from Harmonization Joint effort of the Government and DPs Participatory Approach, Flexibility/Adaptability of new reform Procedures Country Ownership Agreed CPAR (DPs & GOB) GOB’s political commitment for proc. Reform Implementation of all CPAR recommendations Implementation of reform with credit (NOT grant) Permanent policy unit with Government resources Critical mass of national trainers (40 p) Institutionalize proc. capacity with local institute MIS for monitoring reform outcomes/performance

All local procurement from common pool (DPs) Annual procurement review (audit) as per GOB Proc. Regulations (by independent consultant) HNPSP: Harmonized Procurement Procedures & agreed plan for all local procurement

Contributions to Harmonization Seven IDA funded projects including other DPS using Government Regulations for all local procurement Piloting use of PFM framework for procurement as part of PFM baseline and performance indicators Integrated analytical review of procurement with PFM and Public Expenditure group- World Bank, DFID and ADB Centralized MIS in CPTU/IMED (using above indicators) for effective monitoring of procurement outcomes and performance (CPTU Website: cptu.gov.bd)
