L D White " Finance and Administration cannot be divorced. Each administration act has financial implications as inseparable as a man and his shadow. Nothing can be done without the expenditure of money at the very minimum for the composition of the individual or employee who act. Finance is therefore one of the inescapable responsibilities of the government executives."
A good PFM System is prerequisite for GOOD GOVERNANCE.

PEFA : Concept PEFA Program grew out of a realization that in
many developing countries PFM systems remain weak, even after many years of
external assistance, and were not improving sufficiently to support countries'
own development objectives or expectations of donors.
Promotes a coordinated approach to the assessment of the quality of PFM performances
Helps to assess the condition of country public expenditure, procurement and financial accountability systems.
Assists developing practical sequence of actions for PFM reform and capacity building.
PEFA helps to improve country PFM system performance for strengthened economic growth and government service delivery. 9

International Development, The Swiss State Secretariat
for Economic Affairs, The French Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, The Royal Norwegian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and
The International Monetary Fund. 11
The Global PEFA Partners
• Phase I: Development (2001-2005) Formulation of Strengthened Approach
to supporting PFM Reform and Development of PFM Performance
Measurement Framework (PEFA Framework)
•Phase II: Dissemination (2006-2008) Roll-out of the PEFA Framework
Globally Focus on compliance with PEFA
methodology
•Phase III: Integration (2009-2011) Monitoring changes in PFM system
performances over time Enhance dissemination, donor
collaboration, and country ownership.
•Phase IV: Global Public Goods (2012-2017)
Enhance Global relevance of the PEFA Framework
Outreach to all PEFA stakeholder groups
Build the PEFA knowledge platform 12
•Since its introduction in 2005, the PEFA framework has been applied in over 160 countries (Covers 70 % of countries worldwide).
•285 PEFA Assessments have been conducted in more than 135 countries around the globe by April 2012.
•103 Sub-national assessment have been completed by April 2012.
•Through PEFA Framework many countries have been able to reduce fiduciary risks and consolidate impact of financial reforms.
•4th Phase of PEFA Program (1012-17 ) has made PEFA a "Global Public Goods".

PEFA in Nepal: PEFA Assessment
Initiated reform through establishing the PFM bench mark after conducting Country Financial Accountability Assessment (CFAA) in 2002 (updated in 2005)
PEFA assessment started in August 2005 jointly by Government of Nepal and the World Bank
Publication of PEFA Report ( in February 2008) : An Assessment of the PFM Performance Measurement Framework (based on FY 2005/06)
17
PEFA and NepalPEFA Assessment was conducted in 2007-08 and
Report published in 2008 with 31 performance indicators (of which 3 are Donors related) which are recognised globally,
Based on PFM strategy, Development Action Plan (DAP) has been formulated identifying 147 immediate and intermediate activities to be performed,
PEFA Steering Committee (14 Member Chaired by Finance Secretary) and Working Committee ( 11 Member Chaired by PEFA Coordinator) formed in 2009,
PEFA Secretariat established in 2009 which is led by a Coordinator with 7 professional staff,
PEFA Implementation Units (PIUs) formed both at Centre (16) and Local Level (54) till current date,
The Secretariat is accountable to the PEFA Steering Committee. 18
Nepal : Assessment of PFMThe assessment of Nepal’s performance in PFM suggests the Existence of a system that is well-designed but unevenly
implemented. Budget has become a credible policy tool, clearly linked to policies
in some sectors, with solid control of aggregate outturns and a reasonable control framework at the transaction level (notably for
payroll). Many gaps in :
the control frameworkSignificant implementation constraints, and large fiscal activities remain outside the scope of the central
budget. Several weaknesses originate in the weak demand (from both
Government and external stakeholders) for better budget information (financial and physical) and management .

PEFA: Problems and Challenges

Inadequate awareness of PEFA framework and processes Weak capacity development of all concerned on PEFA/PFM Political and bureaucratic commitment is not very encouraging
to promote the PEFA Process. Poor ownership and accountability towards PEFA by the sectors Poor focus to implement PEFA / DAP (Development Action Plan-
147) Report of Nepal No attention on Sub-nation PFM issues and measurement by the
PEFA-I Poor Coordination (mismatch) of efforts both by the government
and the development partners to enhance PEFA processes. Weak knowledge and skills to measure the performances of the
PEFA indicators Ever increasing fiduciary risk both in center and at local level .
