81306539-Mise à disposition d"expertises pour le renforcement de capacités en audit et contrôle externe des finances publiques

Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) and the European Union, the project "Support to the reform of public finances to achieve the SDGs and mobilize public revenues (ReFORME)" aims to implement budget cycles at national and communal levels in line with the principles of good financial governance. The Technical Cooperation project pursues a multi-level approach. Ministries will be strengthened in macroeconomic and budget planning, and in domestic revenue mobilization, to execute their budgets transparently and in line with the rules of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Agenda 2030. Oversight institutions and the civil society will be strengthened in their accountability roles. Up to 12 municipalities receive advice on how to plan and execute their budgets transparently, increase their revenues and use them to meet the needs of the population and the private sector. This contract relates to one of several Action Areas of the ReFORME project: Action Area 3 "Transparency and Accountability". The objective of the project in this Action Area is to improve the dialogue between state and non-state actors on transparency and accountability in within public finances. The remaining Action Areas of the project focus on budget management, domestic resource mobilization, and public investment. The contractor will support the Court of Accounts and the National Assembly and building their capacity of external audit and control of budgetary execution. For the Court of Accounts this concerns methodological support for financial, performance and compliance audit on the national and subnational level as well as the establishment of a professional support cell and web-based training modules for new hires of the Court. For the National Assembly this concerns capacity building and methodological support for parliamentary oversight in the budget cycle.
