PDP provides institutional strengthening to finance ministries, line agencies and sub-national administrations in fiscal and public expenditure management reform. We are specialists in assisting governments in developing the processes and systems for improved public financial management outcomes. Our approach recognises the importance of institutional arrangements and the need for transparency and accountability between the executive government and administrative levels.
We provide our clients with technical advice and implementation assistance that ensures public expenditure planning and management processes are technically efficient, internally consistent, comprehensive, based on formal, clearly understood and enforced rules and effective procedures for resource allocation and management.
