Sectoral Policymaking
We promote a structured discussion and analysis of sector-specific policies by strengthening the capacities of line ministries (LMs) to position them within the wider policy planning frameworks. We build capacities to assess fiscal implications of various sectorial policies and discuss how to integrate them into budgetary planning frameworks. We particulary focus on structural reforms, and strengthening LMs capacities to describe, sequence, prioritize and negotiate them. Our activities also look into how the relationship between LMs, ministries of finance and other central government planning bodies (e. g. Prime minister’s office, policy secretariat) can be more coordinated and strengthened.
