Every country faces the challenge of how to use public resources effectively and efficiently. Without responsive public financial management (PFM), governments will find it difficult to use public funds to deliver essential services or focus on their long-term goals. How can countries’ PFM be evaluated in a way that supports inclusive, sustainable development?
Every country faces the challenge of how to use public resources effectively and efficiently. Without responsive public financial management (PFM), governments will find it difficult to use public funds to deliver essential services or focus on their long-term goals. How can countries’ PFM be evaluated in a way that supports inclusive, sustainable development?
With a PEFA framework, we can assess and understand the strengths and weaknesses of a country’s PFM system and use this information to support improvements. PEFA assessment framework has become the gold standard in assessing PFM performance – with over 600 assessments done in over 150 countries around the world at all income levels.
This course will provide an introduction to the PEFA Framework, how to understand and use it, and the process involved. The course also presents examples, offers guidance documents and background material. Participants will be invited to complete quizzes to test their understanding throughout the course. Participants will receive a course completion certificate after successfully completing the final quiz.
