From January 15-18, 2018, Expertise France organised a training session on the PEFA 2016 framework, a reference tool for assessing the status of public financial management. The course was carried out in Cairo, as part of the European Union funded project ‘Support to Public Finance Management Project in Egypt’. The main objective of this project is to support Egypt in its efforts to improve governance through an efficient, sound and transparent management of public resources.

Opened and closed by Ahmed Kouchouk, the Egyptian Vice Minister of Finance for Fiscal Policies and Institutional Reforms, the training was delivered by 2 experts of the PEFA Secretariat (Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Assessment Programme). This training was delivered to government officials from different departments of the Ministry of Finance of Egypt. They will be in charge of carrying out a PEFA self-assessment (with the support of the project) in order to shape the forthcoming national public finance management reform.

The training session is part of a wider capacity-building training course for agents of the Egyptian Ministry of Finance (basic principles of public finance management, internal audit, accounting standards, anti-fraud and corruption policies).

Since late 2016, Expertise France implements this EU funded project in partnership with the Slovene Center of Excellence in Finance (CEF) to improve public finance management in Egypt.
