Summary of overall strategy
- English »
- The strategy for moving towards this vision set out in the 2004 document reflected three key elements.
- Firstly, the leadership of the strategy development and implementation process within RGC was firmly established. This importance of both political support and leadership arrangements within the administration were clearly recognised. Attention was paid to coordination arrangements and the assignment of responsibilities within the administration for implementation of the different activities. Furthermore, steps were taken to establish clear, positive and efficient arrangements with the development partners that would support the reform process with both resources and advice.
- Secondly, attention was paid to the sequencing of reforms. It was recognised
that not everything can be done at once, but also that some basic and core
activities need to be done before others can work effectively. Sequencing
cannot be planned based on the importance of individual technical
improvements alone. To guide this sequencing, potential activities were grouped
into a series of Platforms with each Platform representing a real and measurable
improvement in the performance of the public financial management system,
but also being a step to the next Platform. The series of Platforms decided upon
at that time are shown in the diagram below:
- Thirdly, it was considered important that the plans to implement each Platform should encompass not just technical and process developments, but also complementary organisational, capacity and motivational developments. It was recognised that without attention to all these different dimensions each Platform would not be a robust step to the next. Reforms would be shallow and subject to degradation during the reform process unless these aspects of reform support each other.
It was also decided not to try and produce detailed activity plans for the whole
reform programme all at once. Given the long time scales that it was recognised
would be required to implement the programme as a whole (probably running
up to at least the middle of the next decade) to attempt such planning would
be impractical and introduce rigidities into the development process that would
not be helpful. Instead, detailed activity planning within the framework of the
overall strategy would focus on the first Platform. Furthermore, it was considered
important to achieve engagement of staff at all levels in the reform process. This
was achieved by combining a ‘top down’ approach in identifying broad
activities with the ‘bottom up’ development of specific action plans to
implement those activities prepared by the operational departments most
involved.
However, it was also recognised that the lead time on some activities necessary
under later Platforms would be long. Therefore, some strategic development,
preparatory work or piloting would take place with regards to such later Platform
activities that could be identified now. Work on Platform 1 plus activities in
support of this work for later Platforms would, together, constitute Stage 1 of the
reform programme and would be managed and monitored alongside each
other.
In addition, efforts were made by Development Partners to co-ordinate their
financing and cooperation arrangements efforts around the overall RGC PFMRP.
A PFM SWAp arrangement was agreed with RGC supported by coordinated
multi-lateral and bilateral financing.
This revised strategy for the next stage of the PFMRP is based on a thorough
review of progress to date under stage 1 and an assessment of the needs for
achievement of Platform 2 objectives as well as preparatory work for later
Platforms. The revised strategy represents a refinement of the existing approach
based on the lessons learned to date, the current PFM context and emerging
trends for future developing PFM.
