The Ministry of Economy and Finance in charge of Industry, in collaboration with the World Bank, organized a two-day training workshop on the Program for Results (PforR) financing mechanism. The event, held at the Kempinski Hotel, brought together representatives from the World Bank, the public and private sectors, and officials from institutions responsible for implementing the program. The workshop aims to enhance the capacities of concerned institutions to implement and monitor the program.
The PforR mechanism is one of the financing tools adopted by the World Bank, which links the disbursement of financing to the achievement of specific, measurable results. The workshop covered the fundamental principles of applying this mechanism, defining outcome indicators, and verifying them. It also clarified the roles and responsibilities of concerned parties, promoted coordination and information exchange, and discussed potential operational challenges.
The training workshop was marked by an intervention from Fatima Ahmed Osman, Director General of the Public-Private Partnerships Department at the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Her participation underscored efforts to strengthen institutional coordination and develop public-private partnerships, supporting the implementation of the economic diversification program. The program aligns with Djibouti's Vision 2035 and the National Development Plan "ADEEG".
The workshop's primary objective is to enhance the capacities of institutions responsible for implementing the program, ensuring they can monitor results effectively. This will contribute to the country's economic diversification, encourage private investment, and create job opportunities. The PforR mechanism is expected to play a significant role in achieving these goals.
Djibouti's Vision 2035 and the National Development Plan "ADEEG" aim to drive economic growth and development. The results-based financing program is a crucial component of these initiatives, focusing on achieving specific outcomes and promoting sustainable development. The training workshop is a step towards ensuring the successful implementation of this program.
The two-day workshop provided a platform for participants to engage in discussions, share experiences, and address potential challenges. It also offered an opportunity for institutions to familiarize themselves with the PforR mechanism and its application. The expected outcome is a more efficient and effective implementation of the program.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the World Bank reflects the commitment to supporting Djibouti's development goals. The enhanced capacities of institutions responsible for implementing the results-based financing program will contribute to the country's economic growth and development.
