Traduction de «PEFA » (Anglais → Français) :

From June 2005 to the end of 2009, PEFA assessments were carried out in 105 countries, of which 62 are from the ACP region. This covers almost all the countries which benefit from EU-funded budget support.

The Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) diagnostic tool, developed by the Commission with the World Bank and some other organisations, is used to establish baselines for measuring whether countries are making progress within their PFM systems.

From June 2005 to the end of 2008, so-called PEFA[2] assessments were carried out in 55 ACP countries.

194. Appreciates the Commission's contribution to the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) programme, which is helping to reduce the inherent risks of budget support; notes, however, the finding of the Court that the shared responsibility for public finance management between the EuropeAid Cooperation Office and the Development Directorate-General "only works because of good interpersonal relations" (Special Report No 2/2005, paragraph 65);

be vigilant in its observance of Article 61(2) of the Cotonou Agreement and, in coordination with the other donors, carry out more thorough appraisal of the direction taken by public finance management in the beneficiary countries and monitor the progress of the reforms that are intended to improve it; incorporate into its Methodological Guide the relevant instructions issued since March 2002 on the programming and implementation of budgetary support for third countries, and make the necessary improvements; make use of performance indicators that genuinely encourage beneficiary countries to press ahead with their reforms and that focus more closely on results that reflect improvements in management; do everything within its power to comp ...[+++]lete the public financial management performance measurement framework being developed within the framework of PEFA and improve coordination between donors by taking account of the results that will be available at the end of the testing stage and of the Court's suggestions, especially the proposal concerning tests of controls; strengthen coordination between donors' local representatives as regards the production of assessments, evaluations and audits, the implementation of institutional support and the use of conditions and performance indicators; systematically structure relations with the authorities in the beneficiary States and take them beyond the government level to include parliaments and supreme audit institutions, whose powers must be strengthened to enable them to undertake the reforms that concern them and to audit those that are a matter for the executive branch".

[xvi] Implementation of the strengthened approach to supporting PFM reforms is being developed by the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) partnership between the European Commission, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UK's Department for International Development, the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.
