OUTLINE

Background PFM-Monitoring Framework and Reporting PAF Matrix Overall Assessment Underlying Processes: Sector reviews Temporary Process Actions Outcome Indicators Conclusion

1.Background

GBS is governed by the Partnership Framework Memorandum (PFM) of January 2006

PFM sets out the principles and terms between the Government and GBS-DPs regarding the provision of GBS

Specifically PFM outlines, underlying principles for GBS partnership arrangement, responsibilities for the Govt and GBS-DPs, dialogue arrangements; monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements; as well as arrangements for disbursements, auditing and procurement

Background (cont) Underlying principles relate to the following:

continuing sound macroeconomic policies and management;

commitment to achieving MKUKUTA objectives and MDGs;

sound budgeting and public financial management systems;

continuing peace and respect for human rights, the rule of law, democratic principles, and the independence of the judiciary; and

good governance, accountability of the Government to the citizenry, and integrity of public life, including the active fight against corruption.

Their observance is critical for the continuation of the partnership agreement

Background (Cont)

PFM-Government responsibilities relate to: the use of GBS funds for MKUKUTA implementation; implementation of the commitments that are jointly

agreed in the PAF Matrix; budget allocation to economic growth and poverty

reduction commitments and full accounting for the use of funds;

monitoring and reporting on MKUKUTA implementation;

strengthening of public financial management; open dialogue; and GBS Annual Reviews under Government leadership.

Background (Cont)

PFM-GBS DPs responsibilities relate to: the establishment of an agreed disbursement schedule; maintenance of a GBS Partners’ decision making

structure; GBS disbursements in line with the Government budget

cycle, frontloaded in the first half/first quarter of the FY; Increased/improved aid predictability improved overall harmonisation of DPs processes and

requirements, including joint missions or analytic work etc.; provision of demand-driven TA and capacity building

support to the Government; participation in the GBS Annual Review; and delivery of more aid through the GBS funding modality.

2. PFM-Monitoring Framework and Reporting The GoT and GBS Partners have jointly agreed to keep

track of their performance relative to jointly agreed actions, targets and indicators

Agreed to have a jointly Government – GBS Partner joint Annual Review of GBS performance timed to align with GoT budget cycle and facilitate the preparation of the Budget Guidelines

Information and analysis of the annua review will be drawn primarily from the MKUKUTA monitoring system, and other underlying review processes outlined in the PAF.

3.What is PAF Matrix

o PAF Matrix is the framework to assess Government performance on an annual basis for the provision of GBS funding

o It contains Government commitments that have been jointly agreed between the Government and GBS – DPs

o GBS-DPs decide their GBS funding commitments on the basis of Government performance against the PAF

o All GBS-DPs commonly use the PAF as the basis for their funding decisions – no individual/separate criteria

What is PAF Matrix

PAF Matrix commitments are grouped into four areas: – 1) Growth and Reduction of Income Poverty;2) Improvement of Quality of Life and Social Well-

being;3) Governance and Accountability);4) Public Financial Management and

Macroeconomic Stability, including Public Expenditure Management

What is PAF Matrix (Cont)

Issues to monitor: Cluster 1- Is broad based economic growth being

effectively promoted? Are policy debates /decisions transparent?

Cluster 2- Is there improved quality of life? Is service delivery improving?

Cluster 3-Is good governance and the rule of law ensured? Is government accountable to the people?

Cluster 4&5-Does the budget reflect national policy? Does spending reflect the budget? Are budgetary decisions questioned for consistency with policy and Value For Money? Are there systems in place within GoT to assess the regularity of expenditures? Is the procurement system open and transparent and provide value for money?

PAF Matrix (cont) Commitments listed in the PAF Matrix are grouped into three categories: Underlying processes;

usually sector or programme reviews. These reviews consist of an ongoing process of dialogue between the Government, DPs and other stakeholders throughout the year and usually with an annual (or semi-annual) multi-stakeholder review event

Temporary process actions are specific actions that the Government commits itself to complete by a

specified timeframe before the GBS Annual Review at which Government performance is assessed.

Outcome indicators indicators measure broader outcomes in the five areas of the PAF and

in most cases are taken from the MKUKUTA Monitoring System. They have baseline values for 2005 and targets for 2010, corresponding to the MKUKUTA targets wherever applicable

Progress towards these targets are assessed annually – it is determined whether progress is on track, already achieved, is at risk of being achieved by 2010, or progress is off track

2008 PAF

7. Outcome indicators in PAF 2008

For the first time, PAF 2008 included annualised targets

This enables the assessment of progress towards achieving MKUKUTA targets each year

It is expected the PAF 2009 annual targets will be included for all indicators

Out of 29 assesed outcome indicators 16 are on track which is 55% of the assesed indicators

16 Outcome Indicators on track – 2008 PAF

Regional roads in good and fair condition % of rural roads that are passable (good and fair

condition) % of solid waste collected in DSM (amount collected) No. of districts qualifying for agricultural grants Child vaccination (diphteria, pertusis, tetanus,

Hepatitis B) Sustaining the high (80%) Tuberculosis treatment

rate Sustaining the HIV prevalence rate (15-24 years

group)

16 outcome indicators on track – 2008 PAF (Cont)

invastigated cases proposed by PCCB to the DPP Approved budget broadly in line with policy objectives

Summary

Overall performance of the 2008 PAF shows good progress compared to last year.

The review process started much earlier with strong ownership and leadeship of the GoT

All targets which could not be achieved have good explanation provided in the Cluster Reports

The GBS AR will provide further guidance on the wayforward to meet challenges faced during the 2008 GBS review process

Asanteni sana!
