Public Finance Component: Budget Execution and Evaluation (dldp II – MF component)
The aim of this project is to build the capacities of the Local Government Units (LGUs) in Public Finance Management based on good local and national practices as well as international standards. On the other hand the knowledge package aims to guide LGUs in adopting practical uses of information and communications technology in order to support more transparent, efficient and effective local government operations, more client oriented public service delivery and more informed and engaged citizens, in line with relevant national strategies and good practices. It is expected that the project, supported by the Decentralisation and Local Development Programme (dldp), will work with LGUs so to improve processes and practices towards more transparent, accountable and participative strategic and financial management (planning / budgeting / execution / monitoring and reporting).
The expected results of this project are:
- Development of training curricula on budget execution and evaluation;
- Preparation of a working methodology and approach on BEE (to be tested in Shkodra Municipality).
- Workshop on training curricula complete cycle of financial management at local government;
- A PEFA based assessment in the Municipality of Shkodra.
