Enabel, in collaboration with the
Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), on January 15th, 2025
organised a strategic training session on PFM aimed at strengthening the Public
Financial Management (PFM) capacity of senior officials. This strategic
training focused on major ongoing PFM reforms and systems which are currently
implemented by the Government of Rwanda such as Performance-based Budgeting and
International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).
The training brought together 31
participants, including project managers and thematic experts from Enabel, representatives
of the Embassy of Belgium in Rwanda, and several development partners who have
recently joined the PFM Technical Working Group.
The session offered in-depth
insights into various aspects of Rwanda’s PFM landscape as well as essential
updates on the key elements of the newly adopted PFM SSP 2024-2029 which is
central to accelerating Rwanda’s socioeconomic transformation through effective
fiscal policy and accountable public.
The session was not just informative
but also participatory, featuring presentations by experts from MINECOFIN and
hands-on discussions on enhancing PFM sector coordination, accountability, and
ensuring smooth implementation of grants in key sectors like Health,
Agriculture, and Urbanisation.
The success of this training
reflects the necessity of continuous collaborative efforts of both national and
development partners to foster a deeper understanding of Rwanda's PFM systems
and reforms to ensure that all PFM players contribute effectively to the goals
set under the Second National Strategy for Transformation (NST 2).
