The Public Financial Management (PFM)Sector Strategic Plan (SSP) identifies key challenges andproposes solutions in each program that are translated intoa foundation for defining sector priorities and outcomesthrough FY2017-18. Improving coherence between nationalstrategies, the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF),and the annual budget process has been identified as an areafor improvement under the first program, on economicplanning and budgeting. In the second program, on resourcemobilization, key challenges are inadequate resourcemobilization, resulting in aid dependency at the nationallevel and lack of discretionary revenues at the subnationallevel. Across the PFM sector, particularly under program 7,on PFM sector and coordination, capacity and skill shortagesare identified as key bottlenecks. Capacity and skillshortages are more pronounced at the subnational level,especially on core PFM areas such as accounting, auditing,budgeting, and reporting.
