Strong progress was made in investments in government connectivity (fiscal administration), including the datacenter, fiber optic wiring and solar panels, which are expected to be completed in 2022. A high-level workshop was held, presided by the Minister of Finance and the WB representative, to launch the assessment of the Government’s integrated tax administration information system, and design a roadmap to finalize its development and roll-out. The assessment has been 6/21/2022 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Integrated Public Sector Reform Project (P160801) completed, and the various counterparts within the Ministry of Finance have agreed on a way forward, which will be confirmed during a closing high- level workshop. The recruitment was finalized for the HRMIS service provider, who undertook its first scoping mission. However, delays in data collection and establishment of adequate governance arrangements are affecting implementation. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) has been restructured, and shows much improved capacity, notably in terms of procurement, financial management, and monitoring and evaluation functions. Further capacity building will be undertaken for the PIU and the Prime Minister’s unit responsible for reform oversight, to help them provide a strategic role in the steering of governance reforms.
