The objective of the Economic Governance Technical Assistance Grant (EGTAG) is to assist the GoH in strengthening its institutional capacity in the areas of budgetary planning and execution, investment and project planning, internal and external control, procurement, accountability, participatory monitoring, and reform constituency building. Specifically the EGTAG’s development objectives are to: (i) improve the central ministry’s ability to program, execute and track use of public resources and better link them to concrete development goals, ensure an adequate performance of the external, ex-post control function by the CSCCA, and help the CNMP grow into its role as overseer of procurement practices and make open, competitive procurement the rule rather than the exception; (ii) advance the development of a human resource management plan and system, especially as regards ensuring adequate capacity in the financial management system; (iii) advance the development of the ULCC as an effective check on corruption while also encouraging the greater involvement of civil society in its own operations and as a monitor of public sector reform; and (iv) ensure as part of the project management process, an adequate system for communicating information on the reform programs and mobilizing public support for their furtherance.
