In accordance with the charter of management of programmes
and allocations, in connection with the management in programme-budget mode,
the heads of programmes of the Minister of Budget and State Entities signed this
Wednesday, February 1, 20232, on the 11th floor of the SCIAM building, with
Minister Moussa Sanogo, letters of commitment of performance for the year 2023.
"The letters of commitment are written documents by which programme
managers commit themselves to the Minister to carry out the activities of their
programme with a view to achieving results verifiable by indicators and targets
in accordance with the resources made available to them," said Ouattara
Fétigué, head of the ministerial financial function.
By this act, the heads of the Budget, Customs, Taxation,
State Owned Entities, Public Procurement and General Administration programmes
are therefore committed to carrying out all the projects on their roadmap, in
order to enable the ministerial department to obtain a better rate of
achievement of its activities in 2023. They expressed this through the voice of
the Director General of Budget and Finance, Seydou Traoré, who welcomed the
commitment of the Minister of Budget to the signing of this document, which is
a real steering tool for achieving the objectives and results of the planned
programmes.
"I approve the 21 specific objectives, the 31
indicators and their respective targets for which the programme managers commit
themselves to the minister," said Moussa Sanogo. He explained that
the letters of commitment, which occupy a place of choice in the management of
the programme-budget mode, are a modern tool for monitoring and evaluation and
make it possible to meet the challenge of accountability and
transparency.
The Minister congratulated the programme managers for the
results obtained in 2022 before urging them to take steps to maintain the
momentum of the past few years in order to ensure the achievement of the
overall objectives for 2023. In particular, the steering of the ministry's
activities (cabinet), the increase in customs revenue (Customs), the
mobilisation of the State's domestic tax resources (DGI), the strengthening of
transparency and governance in budget management (DGBF), the effective
management of the State's portfolio (DGPE) and the strengthening of
transparency and governance in public procurement (DGMP).
To meet the challenge, programme managers will have to
implement 25 actions financed to the tune of 252.48 billion CFA francs, in
accordance with the Ministry's multi-year programme and annual performance
project document (DPPD-PAP) annexed to the finance law on the State budget for
the year 2023.
In their task, they can count on the Minister of Budget and
State Owned Entities who reiterated his availability to accompany them in the
conduct of their various missions. Moussa Sanogo recommended that they each
sign operational commitment letters with the heads of programme operational
budgets (RBOP), as required by the programme and allocation management charter.
They should also ensure that the monitoring and evaluation system within the
programmes is strengthened, in order to periodically report on the status of
the indicators and facilitate corrective measures if necessary.
