CA4 Digital Transformation of the Public Investment Management (PIM)

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 plan their public investment projects in line with the rules of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Agenda 2030. 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.
