To this end, the proposed IDA project will support the implementation of the Government PAMFIP action plan for modernization of PFM in a concerted manner with other donors.

2 Component 1: Public Finance and Financial Accountability: US$ 2.8 million Component 2: Integrated Financial Management Information System: US$ 4.8 million Component 3: Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation: US$ 2.3 million The PARCAFIP was characterized by a slow implementation since the signing of the financial agreement in December 2007 through May 2012 for reasons related to both the general context, and project-specific implementation challenges. As a result, the Project initially made limited progress towards its development objectives and was rated unsatisfactory accordingly. In order to improve the initially limited Project performance, the Government and the Bank took a series of measures. As a first step, Project restructuring was undertaken in April 2012 with a view to focus the scope on key PFM challenges (budget preparation and execution, and effective computerization of PFM processes) and accelerating Project execution. As a result of this restructuring, it was also decided to discontinue an originally envisioned component on Human Resource Development and change the PDO. In May 2012 during a supervision mission, the World Bank and the national authorities developed an emergency action plan to reinvigorate Project implementation. The Action Plan and joint efforts of the Ministry of Finance and Budget and staff of the World Bank resulted in significant results within a short time period. Main achievements include in particular: - The establishment of an Information Technology (IT) Center for the Ministry of Finance; - the extension of the Public Financial Management IT network to 6 Ministries (covering 30% of the total national budget); - the enactment of a new organic budget law (LOLF) in conformity with the CEMAC directives by the National Assembly; - The preparation and submission to the Chamber of Audit the management accounts for ; and - the timely preparation of the national budget. The project has made an overall substantial progress. Since the last supervision, the progress has been consolidated. However, the mission noted that several key activities and reforms are taking more time than expected including: i) delays in fully operationalizing the CID; ii) delays in starting the implementation of the CIE; and iii) delays in finalizing the LoLF implementation strategy study.
