Multi-country Procurement and Financial Management Capacity Building

closed

This project is directly aligned with the country strategies of all countries that identify the strengthening and use of country fiduciary systems (procurement and financial management systems ) as a key priority. Moreover, the activities financed by this project are being discussed as part of the country programming dialogue and have been included in the 2012 country programming documents. The activities financed by this project are a core element of the strategy for the strengthening and use of country systems (GN-2538), in the context of the General Capital Increase (GCI) components under the VPC's responsibilities. For that reason, this project will support borrowing member countries to design and carry out targeted and innovative initiatives to address the primary needs and opportunities faced by these countries regarding the use and strengthening of country systems. This program will be demand-driven, as the activities financed by this KCP will be triggered by an explicit request from the country clients. Once the request is received, the Bank and the country clients will agree on each party's responsibilities, goals to be achieved, and timeframes.
