Project General Description
The Project to support revenue mobilisation and transparency of development policies (PAMRET) is a continuation of the last institutional support programme - the Projet d'Appui au Renforcement des Capacités de Gestion Economique et Financière (PARCGEF). In addition to responding to the difficult economic situation, PAMRET targets the strengthening of institutional capacities and responds to the concerns of the Government, which is committed to pursuing macroeconomic and structural reforms, particularly in the area of public finance, in order to accelerate the country's emergence from a situation of fragility. The project is justified by the need to support the Government in its strategic planning efforts, in order to underpin the provision of basic services that can help strengthen social cohesion. The project will thus contribute to the development and consolidation of public finance management and reform steering capacities, focusing on human resources and the modernisation of working methods.

All beneficiary structures will be strengthened through the acquisition of methods suited to their missions, high-level technical assistance and delivery of targeted training programmes. As the project enhances PFM, it will ultimately benefit the entire CAR population. In addition, to bolster citizens’ participation in public policy development and moni
