Public Financial Management Performance Assessment

Project Information

In September 2005, consultants from OPM undertook a PEFA PFM Assessment of the Kyrgyz Republic.  The overall objective of the assessment was to develop an up-to-date picture of the quality of the Public Financial Management (PFM) system in the Kyrgyz Republic and to establish a baseline for monitoring the progress of PFM reforms in future.  The assessment involved a review of recent PFM diagnostic reports and discussions with Government ministries, agencies, oversight institutions, and donor agencies in the Kyrgyz Republic on PFM performance and reforms.  Towards the end of the assignment a workshop hosted by the Ministry of Finance was held in Bishkek to discuss the approach and key findings of the study. The assessment will provide the basis for the fiduciary risk analysis of DFID , SIDA  and SECO in preparation of their potential co-financing of the Poverty Reductions Support Grant (PRSG).
