Description
Summary:The objective of this Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment is to review the current performance of the public financial management (PFM) systems, processes, and institutions of the Amhara regional government since the last assessment in 2015. The assessment is aimed at assisting the government in identifying PFM weaknesses that may inhibit effective delivery of services to its citizens and the realization of its development objectives in general. Furthermore, the findings of the PEFA assessment will assist the government in developing a PFM reform strategy and provide the basis for a coherent PFM reform program that can be supported by development partners (DPs), as well as through the government’s own initiatives. The Amhara regional assessment covered regional government budgeted units, extra-budgetary units (EBUs), the Office of the Regional Auditor General (ORAG), the regional council, Amhara Chamber of Commerce, and public enterprises.
