Mauritius - The Competitiveness and Public Sector Efficiency Programme (CPSE)

The present intervention concerns the Competitiveness and Public Sector Efficiency Programme (CPSE). It aims to support three major components of the Government's reform programme, namely: a) consolidate fiscal performance and strengthen public service delivery by supporting development of sector strategies that conform to programme-based budgeting requirements; b) enhance trade competitiveness by supporting reforms in the ICT sector regulatory environment and non-tariff barriers to trade; and c) improve the investment climate by implementing strategies to remove obstacles to business operations. The expected outcomes include: (i) a more efficient and sustainable use of public fiscal resources, (ii) improved ability to compete in international markets, and (iii) a more propitious climate for enterpreneurs to operate job-creation value-added enterprises.
