This Study has been designed to serve as
a reference point for (i) mapping the Public Financial
Management and Accountability (PFMA) arrangements currently
in place; (ii) highlighting good practices that have emerged
across States relative to PFMA; and (iii) summarizing issues
that are most relevant to the Government of India, State
Governments and the Bank when it comes to financing future
projects through Panchayati Raj Institution (PRIs). This
Synthesis also captures the recommendations of the Eleventh
and Twelfth Finance Commissions, as well as the initiatives
of the recently constituted Ministry of Panchayati Raj
(MoPR). Inter alia, the MoPR has laid out a road map for
enhancing the accountability of PRIs to their constituents.
Because devolution of powers has resulted in different
models in the various states, this study has not attempted
prescriptive solutions or standard models for
implementation. Rather, this study offers input to the
design of Bank interventions and activities relating to
Decentralization; it is not in itself a Decentralization
study. This Study covers PRIs in six Indian states,
including (i) Karnataka, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh where the
Bank has carried out State Financial Accountability
Assessments (SFAA); (ii) Rajasthan and West Bengal where
several good practices have emerged at the urging of the
state government and/ or the public at large; and (iii)
Uttaranchal where the Bank has changed the design of
existing projects, such as the Watershed Project to route
funds through the PRIs as much as possible. |
