Support To Reforming Institutions Programme (srip) by Okeamu1(m): 7:21pm On Jan 21, 2007 |
SUPPORT TO REFORMING INSTITUTIONS PROGRAMME (SRIP) Directory of National Experts for Yobe State 1. BACKGROUND The Support to Reforming Institutions Programme seeks to improve the capacity of key public finance institutions, in selected state and local government authorities which includes Yobe State, to render the budgeting process a more transparent, effective and accountable means of managing public expenditure and the ability of civil society to access information, make inputs and monitor the implementation of government budgets. SRIP activities will include training of public servants and civil society, studies, information networking and supply of basic equipment. The Programme, closely linked with the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Reform Programme (WSSSRP), supports the NEEDS, SEEDS and LEEDS actions for improved governance and poverty reduction. As specified in the Indicative Programme signed with the EC, the Government policy priorities are to stimulate growth in the non oil sectors, reduce poverty, fight corruption and improve transparency and efficiency in public finance management. SRIP and WSSSRP will combine forces in order to contribute to the reduction of poverty through better public service delivery to poor communities with water and sanitation as a priority. Ø SRIP aims at promoting and producing the following practical changes; · Communities need to be become more active and assertive defending their rights and interests especially those of the poor; · CSOs linked to communities need to become more intrusive in public governance affairs and more vocal in their fight against corruption; · Public Service Agencies with a priority on WS&S Agencies, but including other sector agencies (e.g. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, State Office of Statistics, State Auditor General’s Office, etc.) need to better design, plan and organize their service obligations especially for the poor; · Budget agencies need to change the procedure by which budgets are prepared, executed and evaluated as well as reported, in order to have budget constructed around programmes dealing with politically debated priorities, monitored continuously with respect to their actual performance and taking into account past experience. According to the Financing Agreement between European Union and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Programme plans to achieve two results. a. Transparent budgeting processes that take account of past experience, reflect the political priorities identified through political debate, and serve as a binding guide to their implementation, using the prudently estimated resources available; and b. Citizens who through civil society organizations can participate effectively in budget processes, highlighting cases of corruption and business crime. Given that the core focus of SRIP is to enhance budgetary processes within each state, and ultimately to deliver adequate basic services to all, programme activities will focus on institutional and capacity building for state and local government authorities. 2. SERVICES REQUIRED The State Technical Unit which is assisting the government of Yobe state in implementing the reform programme requires the services of qualified and highly experienced Consultants for short term assignments to support effective and efficient management of SRIP in Yobe state.
