Commendable start up pace of Strengthening the Office of Comptroller and Auditor General (SOCAG) Project in contracting Management and Implementation Support Consultancy (MISC): Despite long preparation time, the SOCAG has picked up pace in starting up to begin implementation. Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (OCAG) negotiated a contract with the winning bidder PKF (UK) LLP just within a period of 93 days from the project effectiveness and well directed efforts are in place to have the consultant in place by January 1, 2012. Shifted focus of SPEMPs Citizens Component has yielded greater communication activities for and between projects, including preparation of a citizens budget in collaboration with DMTBF Project: The SPEMP communication team has been actively engaged with the three projects in order to come up with practical outreach activities for each. The team is currently helping Finance Division to develop a Citizen's Guide to Budget Pamphlet for FY11-12. Along with this, various other communication plans have been arranged which are going to roll out throughout the coming year. Regional Public Investment Management (PIM) experience explored through regional PIM Conference in Dhaka: SPEMP in collaboration with the Planning Commission held a regional conference on Public Investment Management (PIM) in Dhaka on September 14-15, 2011. The conference yielded findings on enhancing public investment management.

Note: The subcomponent on Planning Commission has been narrowed down within the DMTBF Project and most analytical activities have been included under a separate work program under SPEMP. A transitional arrangement however has been set up through which the new work program and DMTBF Project will coordinate at least at the initial stage.
...DMTBF Project
Changes/Decisions
DMTBF Project has had significant achievements in ways of complete MTBF roll out, support to completion of 6th Five Year Plan and annual Budget 2012, stabilization and maintenance of iBAS, unified presentation of development and non-development budgets in FY12 and significant training. Considerable diagnostics also have been completed in key PFM areas in all components of the project. Nevertheless, the project has been facing slow progress in many areas of its scope despite completion of diagnostics either because of shifted priority of government, uncoordinated components, complicated implementation arrangements, limited scope of involvement government reform champions etc. Consequently, the project has been rearranged in three main broad categories of government priority i.e. MTBF, iBAS, human resource capacity building. Other components and subcomponents have been placed according to relevance with each of the broad components. The Planning Commission (PC) component under DMTBF Project was focused mostly on the General Economic work of PC, leaving out a crucial area of PFM i.e. public investment management. In addition, implementation of the PC component has faced considerable institutional differences and therefore, progress has been slow, albeit DMTBF Projects contribution in finalizing the sixth Five Year Plan by General Economics Division (GED) of PC. Recognizing PCs importance as the national institute of strategic planning and public investment management, came the idea of a separate project (described later) in line with PCs unique priorities, expected to start in early 2012, under SPEMP. However, in order to maintain consistency with MTBF, DMTBF Project will continue to support PCs results based monitoring of the 6th Five Year Plan till July 2012 after which the new project will take on this initiative as well. ii. Special measures were taken to speed up finalization of project restructure details on an urgent basis, as a results of Restructuring Workshop held in September September 2011: a. Committee for finalizing Implementation Arrangement: Finance Division formed a Committee on September 15, 2011 consisting of Mr. Md. Najmus Sakib and Mr. Md. Zahidul Haque (Finance Division), Mr. Muslim Chowdhury and Dr. Ziaul Abedin (MISC), Ms. Suraiya Zannath, Ms. Dilshad Dossani (World Bank), Mr. Syed Abu Yousuf and Mr. Ataur Rahman (DMTBF PMCU).

Changes/Decisions
Mr. Shahabuddin Ahmed, Joint Secretary, Finance Division will be Chairing the committee. The committee has been assigned to review and finalize the restructured implementation that was proposed by the Bank and agreed in principle by FD. The Committee has held several meetings, analyzed the proposed management structure very cautiously and discussed different issues related to the implementation arrangement. The committee also talked to a number of project stakeholders and incorporated the views in the revised structure (attached as Annex 1). b. Progress on results framework revision and Committee assigned for the revision Results Framework of DMTBF Project: Finance Division formed a second committee as a result of the restructure workshop held on September 10, 2011. This committee was assigned to finalize the Monitoring and Evaluation framework of DMTBF Project. The committee consists of Dr. Ahsan Mansur and Mr. Md. Muslim Chowdhury (MISC), Ms. Dilshad Dossani (World Bank), Mr. Md. Habibur Rahman and Mr. Md. Saiful Islam (Finance Division), and Dr. Golam Morshed and Muhammad Ali (DMTBF PMCU). Mr. Najmus Sakib, Joint Secretary, Finance Division has been assigned as Chair of the committee. This committee too has held several meetings in the month of September and October 2011 through which the draft M&E framework developed by the Bank was discussed and suggestions and inputs provided in the forms of targets from Component Directors for each of their respective components. It was agreed that there will be two sets of formats: for overall project progress monitoring periodically, a summary version that will be shared every quarter with the Bank and Donors and a tracking table with a higher number of indicators and detailed information, which will be used at the implementation level for regular monitoring by FD, PMCU and MISC. The final Monitoring and Evaluation table will be discussed and approved in the next joint GovernmentDonor meeting, planned to be held in January 2012. The revised M&E format is provided in Annex 2.

iii. Workshops on DMTBF Restructuring: Subsequent to the initial restructure workshop in July 2011, stakeholders of DMTBF project agreed on the restructuring outline for the project in a workshop on September 10, 2011 at Hotel Westin, Dhaka. It was a follow-up action of the first workshop on restructuring held in July in Coxs Bazar. Officials from the Finance Division and MTBF line ministries, CGA Office, representatives from the development partners and the Management and Implementation Support Consultants Team participated in the workshop. The Finance Secretary joined the Program as the Chief Guest. The purpose of the Retreat Workshop was to provide response to the diagnostic exercise carried out by the SPEMP-A Team (PDP Australia) and to work out a sensible way forward to achieve the ultimate objectives of the DMTBF Project. Another important purpose of the workshop was to review the current components structure of the Project, to work out a restructuring proposal to maximize cohesion among the project components and to ensure measurable time-bound outputs. Also, based on the Implementation support and project restructuring mission findings, Suraiya Zannath, Sr. Financial Management Specialist of World Bank, presented component-wise current status along with recommendations for way forward, restructured implementation arrangement and challenges for the project. The development partners emphasized on well documentation of restructuring need, identification of the priority issues, risk analysis to avoid further restructuring and developing a comprehensive set of monitoring tools. iv. Project Steering Committee Meeting: The third meeting of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) of the DMTBF project was held on November 16, 2011 with the Finance Secretary as the Chair. The Finance Secretary highlighted the background of Public Financial Management (PFM) reform initiatives in Bangladesh and shed light on the probable course of current and future PFM reform initiatives acknowledging that there are certain limitations and challenges against those initiatives. The Country Director of World Bank was also present and stressed on the importance of SPEMP to realize the targeted reform initiatives and expressed satisfaction to the fact that the Government wholeheartedly owned the initiatives. She highlighted that it was important to have a good harmonious relationship among all the stakeholders of the project to attain the outputs and outcomes agreed on.

Events
During the meeting, five presentations were made on areas of restructuring the project; implementation arrangements and resource planning; and work plans of the three components. At the end, the restructuring report was approved by the Finance Secretary. It may be mentioned that in July and September, two workshops were held to discuss the diagnostic report and restructuring plans. v. Workshop on Restructuring of Public Finance Foundation held: A workshop on Restructuring of Public Finance Foundation was held under the auspices of DMBTF project on October 8, 2011 at the conference room of PMCU in Dhaka. To make Public Finance Foundation (PFF) operational, a few options were reviewed and steps taken for reorganizing and strengthening PFF and hence the workshop was a part of that initiative through which ideas were drawn from the key stakeholders. Dr. Mohammad Tareque, Secretary of Finance Division chaired the workshop and it was well participated by executive committee members of PFF, senior officials of FD, relevant ministries and also representatives from the development partners besides PMCU and MISC. The discussants highlighted the importance of institutions like PFF for the government and mentioned that in spite of significant achievements attained through various PFM reform initiatives in Bangladesh, institutional reforms are highly required. Mr. Iqbal Abdullah Harun, Component Director, Component 3 (restructured) of DMTBF Project, laid out proposals for PFF including its governance structure, plan for diversifying the institution, institutional objectives & activities, funding arrangement and a time-bound action plan necessary for restructuring and making PFF operational. The legal instrument, organizational structure and financial arrangements were crucial areas needing decision. Major decisions taken were that PFF would have streamlines governance arrangements and actually turn into a PFM research and training institute with a broadened scope of work of what currently is little more than limited training to officials. It was also decided that PFF would begin operating under revised arrangements with effect from July 2012.

vi. SPEMP Restructuring Meeting with Heads of SPEMP Donor Agencies: A meeting was held with the SPEMP Heads of Agencies on September 8, 2011 at IFC to stocktake SPEMPs progress and explore ideas and opinions on way forward. Besides the Donor Heads, the World Bank Country Director, Ms. Ellen Goldstein and the entire SPEMP Team participated in the meeting. The meeting strongly endorsed the proposed restructuring option for the DMTBF Project and agreed to stay engaged in the Planning Commission for public investment reform through modest size Bankexecuted SPEMP resources. On revenue administration reform, the importance of NBR reform was agreed upon but no consensus was reached as to whether revenue reform can be supported under the SPEMP umbrella. Later however, through supporting information requested at the meeting and following further discussion, the revenue administration component was decided to be worked upon beyond the scope of SPEMP. vii. Certificate Giving Ceremony of FEEM course under DMTBF Project held: A Certificate giving ceremony for the participants of 8th course on Fiscal Economics and Financial Management was held in October 2011 at DMTBF Project in Dhaka. Finance Secretary Dr. Mohammad Tareque was the Chief Guest and handed over the certificates. A total of 28 officials from different cadres of Bangladesh Civil Service participated in this ten weeks course. PFF organized the course under the auspices of DMTBF Project. viii. Monitoring and Evaluation Training: A training session on Monitoring and Evaluation was held on August 24, 2011 at World Bank Office. The training was conducted by Mr. William Eckert, Consultant. The participants were officials and consultants from the three PMCUs of SPEMP. The main objective of the training was to create an awareness and understanding of how the Monitoring & Evaluation framework actually works. As a follow up to the training, Dilshad Dossani tried to clarify some confusion between outputs and outcomes and explained the basic system of M&E throughout the week, especially to the project staff and the M&E specialist working in the DMTBF project.

...DMTBF Project
Way Forward
With refocused design of project in line with defined government priorities and renewed ownership shown by FD, DMTBF Project aims to realistically work towards many of the PFM reform goals of the government with renewed vigor. Revised TAPP for the project is soon to be finalized whilst on the other hand, paper of restructure and necessary amendments are being worked upon by the Bank. Nevertheless, the project is not being delayed due to restructure related formalities and has already begun operating under the restructured mode with Component Directors appointed. The Component Directors, who have been nominated by FD itself in recognition of their roles as reform champions are being counted upon to spearhead the project, linking technical expertise of the MISC to actual country context and priorities, whilst the Project Director oversees the project as a whole in terms of substantive and fiduciary arrangements. With refocused accountability and clear lines of authority, implementation of the project is likely to be more effective under restructured arrangements.

Implementation status so far has been slow with respect to starting up time. The project being the first ever donor funded program implemented directly by the Parliament Secretariat (PS) its limited exposure to Governments and Donors policies and procedures associated with development project poised a great concern about its ability to implement and monitor project activities in a timely manner. Despite the limitation, the project moved reasonably well within a short period of project implementation in following areas (i) formation of a full-fledged task team consisting of serving government officials as well as externally hired personnel (ii) opening of projects Designated Account for the first time in any PS managed program in accordance with existing rules (iii) formation of project Steering committee including procurement evaluation committees and holding of regular meetings (iv) initiation of all major procurement processes and (v) a full-fledged project office, a competing demand that PS has been finding great difficulty in meeting with other donor funded projects. The project also performed well in quickly establishing client connection including e-submission of IFR based withdrawal application. On the technical contents, significant progress has been seen on reducing audit backlog though the projects contribution in this regard is limited to lessons learnt from various regional seminars and study tours. A major portion of audit backlog was done. A number of other initiatives undertaken under the project include (i) Creation of Asia Regional Association of PACs (ARAPAC) network and (ii) Formulation of a restructure plan for PS Support system to finance committees.

Glimpses of SPEMPs
Citizens Component
The SPEMP communication team has been engaged with the three projects in order to come up with practical outreach activities for each. In cooperation with and following request of FD a Citizens Guide to Budget Pamphlet for FY11-12 is being developed. The pamphlet is expected to make national budget simple and easy for citizens, promoting greater access to reader friendly information, enhancing transparency and accountability in PFM. The draft is near completion, format has been approved by Finance Secretary and the Pamphlet is expected to be published soon. An SMS Campaign is being executed with two blasts sent till date for C&AG, to familiarize citizens with the functions of C&AG and Parliament. These are likely to sensitize Government-to-citizen communication enabling better dissemination of information already available through government websites but not used due to lack of information of citizens about the availability.
Highest count of visitors 3689 on 30 November, 2011, the following day of 1st sms f launch. Average hits per day without sms - 1556 Average Hits per day with SMS 2067
After completion of the sms campaign, on 13 December, 12:00am, the number of f ft visitors to the website has reached a cumulative total of 64,302
Before sending out of any sms, the total number of visitors to www.cag.org.bd on 29 f fo November, 2011, 9:40pm was 39,625.
A national debate competition among university students has been held to sensitize the youth about PFM related issues. The competition was carried out in cooperation with Dhaka University Debating Society (DUDS) in participation of Dhaka University, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), North South University and United International University. The final debate was held on December 22, 2011, at the Business Studies Faculty of the University of Dhaka. The Champion team was Dhaka University against United International University on the topic of Lack of coordination between the concerned parliamentary standing committees and ministries is the key impediment towards peoples welfare. The debates are expected to be aired on Bangla Vision television channel tentatively in mid January 2012.

Only the concerned parliamentary standing committees can make the government obligated to eradicate corruption; bring transparency, accountability and ensure cost-effectiveness in public financial management. Audit reports should be published through mass media
Only playing roles of the concerned parliamentary standing committees in accordance with rules of business can ensure the ultimate welfare of the citizens of this country Meticulous and accountable auditing procedure can guarantee the transparent and strong public financial management system. A coordination workshop among the three public finance committees of Parliament is being planned to be organized for better understanding of their respective roles and coordination. SPEMP Citizens Component also plans to produce documentary films as well as other communication materials such as Posters, Stickers, Brochures, Leaflets for disseminating previous experiences, present status and ongoing activities of the projects, and future strategies of both SOCAG and SPO Projects. In order to better coordinate and supervise communication activities and taking account of the fact that communication needs of projects may not be anticipated well in advance and there may not be regular activities, the SPEMP Citizens Component contract that is being implemented by Mott MacDonald and Bitopi Advertising Ltd. has been revised. The revision includes changes in terms of payment mode from time based to deliverable based. In this way, the Joint Venture will be paid for only those activities that are delivered.

International Consortium for Government Financial Management (ICGFM) - DMTBF and SPO
Projects
The ICGFM Winter Conference was held in Washington DC during December 5-7, 2011. The ICGFM called for proposals on enhancing accountability in PFM and the idea proposed from Bangladesh was a citizens poll on public service delivery performance before every annual budget and subsequent inclusion of the results in the overall evaluation of each relevant ministrys central performance evaluation. For this however, the idea stressed that the existence of measurable and specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are required which at this point are being strengthened for Bangladesh. Moving on to the Bangladesh scenario, a complete description of the PFM cycle in Bangladesh was given followed by an account of Bangladeshs attempts to promote accountability and transparency in public finance. It was noted that the PFM system capacity in Bangladesh including improvement of the quality of KPIs before such an open measure of accountability by involving citizens could be implemented. SPEMP Projects that represented Bangladesh and gave comprehensive presentations at this conference were DMTBF and SPO.
