Public Financial Management

The Paris Declaration partly aims to ensure greater reliance on countries’ Public Financial Management (PFM) systems to create assurances that aid is used for the intended purposes. The Joint Venture on PFM brings together donor and partner authorities to address these challenges in implementing the Paris commitments. It aims to foster good practices in implementing PFM reforms;  harmonise the measurement of PFM performance; and share knowledge and experiences among donors and partners on using country PFM systems.
