More about the contribution
The Public Financial Management for Institutional Strengthening (PFMRIS) project follows the Government of Liberia's request to the World Bank for a continued support to the Integrated Public Financial Management Programme (IPFMRP), which closed on June 30, 2017. The PFMRIS is a comprehensive PFM reform project in Liberia, with a total volume of USD 24.3 million. The World Bank financing is 19 million USD and the Swedish contribution is SEK 50 million (approximately USD 5.3 million). The European Union plans to support to the project for the amount of USD 2 million. The project builds on the lessons of the IPFMRP, with the following main components: 1) Enhancing domestic revenue mobilization, 2) Stabilizing and strengthening performance of financial controls and systems, 3) Improving public sector capacity for enhanced oversight and accountability, 4) Improving PFM systems in selected sectors, 5) Project management. The project aims to support priorities identified in the national development agenda, the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD), and the national PFM Strategy and Action Plan. The PAPD aims, among other things, to establish an accountable and effective public sector, combat corruption, promote an honest and transparent private sector, and improve human development.

Result
Operating a complex PFM reform project in a low capacity environment is challenging. This was also one of the key risk areas that the Embassy looked at closely amongst other high risk factors. The latest implementation mission of the project (aide memoire authored by the WB) show that results are good overall. All three project development objective indicators have been exceeded. Out of the ten Intermediate Results Indicators, all but one has been achieved or exceeded. Within the project there has been four disbursement-linked indicators, two of them to Minstry of Health and two to Ministry of Education. All four have been exceeded. In terms of implementation, the mission upgraded the assessment from moderately satisfactory to satisfactory. However, implementation progress across the various components has been mixed. Project management is considered moderately satisfactory. Further, the mission noted some implementation weakness related to procurement and financial management. PO has asked World Bank to keep the embassy updated on these issues. - Examples of results The project has enabled that the Liberia Integrated Tax Administration System is now fully operational for online tax filing and payment and it has been rolled out to all major tax offices, with the potential to modernize tax administration. With the support from the project, the General Audit Commission has cleared audit backlogs, performing the first performance audits for several ministries agencies and commissions since the end of the civil war in 2003. 100 percent of MoE teachers payroll data were analyzed, and the reports were published and shared with the Civil Service Agency. These efforts inter alia saved costs by eliminating payments to inactive staff. Financial reporting from County Health Team under the Ministry of Health has substantially improved. STATE-OF-PLAY The project is about to be finalized and closed down. Last day of actual project implementation was October 31. End disbursement day is April 2025. The embassy will close the contribution before end-2025.
