Summary:
OPM was contracted by DFID to manage its scrutiny of Fiduciary Risk Assessments (FRAs) on a global basis for the period 2007 - 2011. FRAs are an integral part of DFID's country assessment procedures. They are completed by DFID country offices in order to determine the level of fiduciary risk and corruption risk in the countries concerned, and are used in determining the most appropriate modality for support, i.e. budget support, or support through other aid instruments. FRAs typically draw heavily on the most recent PEFA report and are substantially structured after the manner of those reports. The review carried out by OPM considered the extent to which the FRA conclusions are well supported by appropriate evidence, are consistent with background materials used, and follow DFID guidelines.
The following FRA assignments have been undertaken by OPM: Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment of the Core Public Financial Management and Accountability Systems of the Federal Republic of Ethiopia; Suggested guidance on assessing the financial impacts of fiduciary risk; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment for the Proposed Budget Support to the Health Sector of the Government of Nepal; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment for the Nepal Peace Trust Fund; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment for the Rural Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Sector Development Programme of Nepal; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment for the Proposed Budget Support to the Education Sector of the Government of Nepal; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment of the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) and its Affiliates, Pakistan; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment of the Maternal and Newborn Health Programme in Pakistan; Comments on Revised Pakistan ERRA FRA; Review of the Palestinian National Authority Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Ghana; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Mozambique; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, India; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Rwanda; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Indonesia; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Afghanistan; Review of the Support to South Africa's Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative (ASGISA) Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Kenya; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Malawi; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Uganda; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Zambia; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Moldova; Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Nigeria; and Review of the Fiduciary Risk Assessment Report, Nepal.
