The objectives of the Enhancing Governance Capacity Project in Congo, Democratic Republic (DRC) of are : (i) to enhance transparency and efficiency in central and sub-national public finance and human resource management; and (ii) to establish or consolidate an equitable resource sharing mechanism between central and sub-national government. There are three components to the project. The first component is the strengthening public financial management and public service management at central government level, including establishing a functioning system of intergovernmental fiscal relations. The second component is the building public sector and financial management systems at provincial level. This component provides effective and transparent public financial management and public service management capacity at provincial level (including the provision of equipment, etc.) is recognized as one of the most urgent elements of the governance agenda in the DRC. This will pose serious challenges. Apart from addressing weak existing capacities in the 11 provinces, additional efforts will be required to build new public management systems in the new provinces that will be created in the next stage of territorial-administrative reform. It is therefore proposed for this component to absorb a significant portion of the resources allocated to the project. Finally, the third component is the Governance reform implementation capacity. The sub-component under component three serves to enhance project implementation capacity. The project will be implemented by the Cellule Pour la Decentralization under the minister of state of the interior, decentralization and security. In view of the current level of fiduciary risks for Bank project implementation in the DRC, consultants have been hired by the cellule to manage procurement (national and international experts) and financial management aspects of the project, as well as on Information Technology (IT) support and monitoring and evaluation.
