MX Results-based Management and Budgeting

closed

The objective of the Results-Based Management and Budgeting Project for Mexico is to establish that federal departments and agencies in Mexico provide decision makers and the public with rigorous, timely, user-friendly information on the efficiency and effectiveness of government organizations and program expenditures. There are five components to the project. The first component is the design and implementation of a management improvement program. This component will provide technical assistance for the detailed design and implementation of selected Programa Especial de Mejora de la Gestidn en la Administracidn Pziblica Federal 2008-2012 (PMG) systems. The second component is the development of an integrated information system (SISED) for results-based management and budgeting. This component addresses the problems of report proliferation and data fragmentation and duplication. The third component is the strengthening financial management for results-based budgeting. This component supports an important aspect of Mexico's Public Financial Management (PFM) system: government accounting and budget reporting. The fourth component is the consolidation of results-based budgeting and the evaluation system. This component will help to address limitations in the capacity of the Government of Mexico (GoM) to carry out, contract and use evaluations of government programs. Finally, the fifth component is the monitoring and evaluation of Performance Evaluation Program (SED). This component will support the GoM's capacity to monitor and evaluate its own SED reform agenda. Technical assistance will be provided to the Ministry of Finance (SHCP) and Ministry of Public Administration (SFP) to develop the organizational and evaluation capacity necessary to monitor progress and evaluate the SED (as well as other reforms) and to contract out external evaluations to validate the self-evaluation to be performed directly by the GoM.
