Background
PEFA is a global initiative with an overarching objective of strengthening public financial management (PFM) systems and promoting more coherent and effective approaches to PFM reform. The PEFA assessment tool, the main product of the initiative, is designed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of PFM systems at national or subnational level. Supplementary frameworks were developed during Phase 5 to assess how countries’ PFM systems account for aspects of climate change and gender equality.
The PEFA program seeks to achieve this objective through the application of PEFA frameworks, the analysis and use of PEFA assessment results by countries and the broader community of development partners, civil society representatives and researchers, research, and complementarity with other PFM analyses. The PEFA methodology has been used more than 750 times in over 155 countries and is considered a gold standard for PFM assessments. Since the introduction of the supplementary frameworks, governments and their development partners are combining PEFA products to get the most from their assessments to prepare countries’ PFM reform action plans. PEFA 2016 combined with one supplementary framework is called PEFA+ and with two, PEFA++.
PEFA is a partnership program, initiated and managed by nine international development partners: the European Commission, International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Agency (AFD), Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), The Ministry of Finance of The Slovak Republic and The Ministry of Finance of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. Representatives from nine partners form the PEFA Steering Committee that defines the strategic orientation of the PEFA initiative, and an annual work program implemented by the PEFA Secretariat. Phase V of the PEFA Program commenced in 2017 and will be followed by PEFA Phase VI that is expected to start in 2023.
Objective of the consultancy
The objective of the consultancy is to assist the PEFA Secretariat in the quality assurance review of PEFA assessment reports.

Representatives from nine partners form the PEFA Steering Committee that defines the strategic orientation of the PEFA initiative, and an annual work program implemented by the PEFA Secretariat. Phase V of the PEFA Program commenced in 2017 and will be followed by PEFA Phase VI that is expected to start in 2023.
Objective of the consultancy
The objective of the consultancy is to assist the PEFA Secretariat in the quality assurance review of PEFA assessment reports.

The initial consultancy will be up to 50 working days for FY23. The number of days to be spent for an assignment will be determined for each report by the Head of the PEFA Secretariat, depending on the complexity (standalone report, PEFA+, PEFA++ or set of subnational reports).
