Overview
The PEFA assessment in Tajikistan will focus on the national (i.e. central government) level of the country’s PFM system. At the national level, it will seek to cover the entire PFM system, including cross-cutting and overall issues: the revenue side, the budget cycle from planning through execution to control and auditing; and the interaction of donors with the PFM system. The main motivation for undertaking the 2021 PEFA assessment is twofold: (i) to establish a baseline of policy reforms vis-a-vis the PFM Reform Strategy (PFMRS) of the Republic of Tajikistan for the period until 2030 and its operational framework; and (ii) to identify gaps and challenges in PFM system which could serve as potential entry points for a future technical assistance intervention by development partners, such as the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
