Public Financial Management

One of the goals of the Paris Declaration is to ensure greater reliance on countries’ public financial management systems where there is assurance that aid will be used for the intended purposes. The Joint Venture on PFM brings together donor and partner authorities to address some of the challenges in implementing the Paris commitments. It aims to foster good practices in implementing PFM reforms;  harmonise the measurement of PFM performance; and share PFM knowledge and experiences among donors and partners on using country PFM systems.
