Liberia - Integrated Public Financial Management Reform Project – Phase II

Integrated Public Financial Management Reform Project II (IPFMRP II) is designed to strengthen the capacity of key public institutions engaged in public financial management in Liberia. The proposed IPFMRP II will build on IPFMRP Phase I and pave the way for deeper implementation of the PFM reform agenda through 2020. The project will help to consolidate the gains achieved from the previous institutionnal support programs and will strengthen the capacity of institutions that promote governance, accountability, and transparency, with an added focus on domestic resource mobilization in the natural resource sector.This project has three components: (i) strengthening transparency and accountability in public financial management; (ii) enhancing domestic revenue mobilization from the natural resource sector; and (iii) project management. It will be implemented over 36 months (January 2017 – December 2019) and cost UA 6.26 million.

The overarching objective of the project is to strengthen transparency and accountability in public financial management; and enhance revenue mobilization from the natural resource sector. The project objectives are to be achieved through: (i) Upgrade of IFMIS infrastructure to better track budget implementation, revenue collection and government expenditures; (ii) Strengthening the capacity of institutions in PFM; (iii) Capacity building for Debt Management, Macroeconomic Forecasting and Fiscal reporting; (iv) Support to revenue mobilization and Administration; and v) Support to Liberia’s integrity and anti-corruption agencies and CSOs involved in promoting accountability through monitoring of PFM processes and Governance in general for more efficient use of national resources.

There are two direct beneficiary institutions for this project: (i) the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning’s (MFDP) PFM Reform Coordination Unit (RCU); and (ii) the Liberian Revenue Authority (LRA).
