II. Background

Puntland made significant progress to establish the necessary institutions and procedures governing them. The Puntland prepares annual budgets, collects revenue, employs a number of Civil Servants, and provides limited public goods and services. The government adopted a three-tiered system of decentralized governance, which provides a significant amount of autonomy to local authorities. The government is in the process of implementing the devolution of fiscal and administrative responsibility to elected district councils.

Access to basic services is extremely limited in Puntland, and constrained by both lack of human and physical resources, limited access to financing and the capacity to provide a sustainable policy framework.

 

Most public institutions, particularly planning, finance and integrity institutions are understaffed and most diasporas if not all work on voluntary basis. They lack or are poorly equipped with planning and financial skills needed to prepare coherent and consistent policies linked to available country resources. As a result the government has been performing poorly in coordinating vital government initiatives with the other arms of government, such the parliament and regulatory institutions, such as auditor general and accountant general. To fill this gaps the project (TA) will provide a package of technical support to strengthen key government institutions, such key departments of the ministries of planning, finance and integrity institutions, so it will enable the Government to function effectively in performing its mandated roles and responsibilities in an open and transparent manner. In addition, the TA project will also provide assistance to the core functions of governance to strengthen a more functional inter-linkage between the executive and the legislative.
