This course explores the foundational components of Public Finance Management (PFM), focusing on how governments mobilize, allocate, and monitor the use of public resources. It covers the full PFM cycle, budget formulation, execution, accounting, auditing, and reporting, along with the legal and institutional frameworks that govern them. Participants will engage with the principles of fiscal discipline, allocative efficiency, and operational effectiveness, while also understanding reform agendas such as performance-based budgeting and integrated financial management systems (IFMIS). Special attention is given to transparency mechanisms and the growing emphasis on citizen participation and oversight.
