The project development objective (PDO) of the Transparency and Accountability Capacity Development Project for Cameroon is to contribute: (i) to enhance transparency and efficiency in the public finance management (PFM) of Cameroon; and (ii) to strengthen accountability in the use of public resource in Cameroon. The project will play a key role in Cameroon's acceleration of the pace toward a more transparent and orderly PFM and, in addition, more efficient public service delivery. The PDO will be achieved through the following four project components: the first component of the project is improving budget management including procurement. In this component, focus will be mostly on giving support to revision of processes, methods and regulations for budget programming, budget execution including procurement, budget monitoring and controls, and treasury accounting in the context of the new budget Organic Law, in order to primarily address deficiencies in capital budget management and limitation in the execution of investment projects. The second component of the project is integration and development of the Financial Management Information System (FMIS) including the Human Resources Management (HRM) and Payroll Management Systems. This component consists of two sub-components related respectively to the development and integration of the FM Information applications and to upgrading of the HRM and Payroll systems. The third component of the project is strengthening external oversight and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The objective of this component will be to enhance external oversight, communication, and M&E, because these are necessary to allow national stakeholders to carry out the effective management and use of public resources, and fight corruption, while enabling the legislature and citizens the ability to exercise scrutiny and increase their demand for more accountability. The fourth and the final component of the project is support to the project focal point for PFM reforms coordination. The main objective of this component will be to support capacity building activities for Minisfere des Finances (Ministry of Finance) (MINFI) and the PFM reforms structures to properly carry out their coordination, monitoring, and leadership roles in PFM reforms in line with Paris Declaration objectives.
