Evaluation of the Implementation of the PFM Reform Strategy 2008-2012 Rwanda

This document describes a summary of the independent evaluation of Rwanda's Public Financial Management (PFM) Reform Strategy, which was in place from 2008 to 2012. The strategy's goal was to improve Rwanda's financial management systems, focusing on enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency. The evaluation, conducted by Ecorys and commissioned by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, used a combination of assessments, stakeholder meetings, and a scoring system to measure progress. Results showed advancements in economic management, budgeting, and procurement, but also pointed out issues with planning, capacity building, and sustainability. The evaluation concluded that despite significant improvements, ongoing monitoring and development are required. Recommendations for future reforms include creating a comprehensive PFM Sector Strategic Plan, expanding the PFM Reform Secretariat's role, better planning for subsequent reforms, and establishing a robust monitoring and evaluation framework. The evaluation also recognized the IFMIS project's substantial progress despite its challenges. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
