background

In April 2012, Burundi set up a National Program for the Reform of Public Administration "PNRA" which aims at the establishment of a public administration qualified, efficient, responsible, oriented towards the general interest and citizen service.

The reform strategy adopted is articulated as follows: (i) Improvement of the services provided to citizens through the establishment of one-stop-shops of public services in the various provinces and the simplification of procedures; (ii) development of a new performance management in the Administration through the support of the implementation of the Performance Management Policy, the classification of jobs and the revision of the remuneration system and the status of the function public and; (iii) strengthening national capacities for designing public policies and coordinating government action.

Other institutional reform actions are underway in the areas of Public Finance and Decentralization.

The foundations of Burundian public finance reform are laid down by the Organic Law on Public Finance (LOFP), which entered into force on December 4, 2008. This law stipulates the following management principles: the deconcentration of the scheduling of expenditure, the shift to a program budget system instead of the medium budget system.

Burundi has adopted a national decentralization policy that aims to provide municipalities with the necessary capacities and means enabling them to constitute a real level of supply in the field of public service provision and to boost economic and social development. at the grassroots level.

In addition, Burundi has developed various medium and long-term strategic planning instruments through which development challenges are listed, the means to address them identified, and the necessary resources inventoried. At the macro level, it is the Burundi 2025 vision, and the Strategic Framework for Poverty Reduction (PRSP 1 and 2), which will be replaced by the National Development Plan (PND). At the meso level, it involves several sectoral policies and at the micro level municipal development plans.

Finally, Burundi adopted a performance management policy in the public sector whose implementation is quite advanced with the establishment of performance management committees in all the ministries and the training of a thousand senior executives. Administration to appropriation of performance management tools.

All of these reforms combine, each in its own way, with the introduction of results-based management reform in the public sector. The design and implementation of these reforms are not sufficiently synchronized and collaborative dynamics s are quite low.

The first actors in these reforms are the senior executives of the Administration at the level of Permanent Secretaries, Ministers' Offices, Directorates-General and Directorates. The capacity building of these actors on the issues and the modalities of implementation of a Results-Based Management will be able to give a boost to these reforms while bringing a holistic dimension which is less visible at present. .

UNDP supports the implementation of the PNRA through the Support Project for the Implementation of the National Program of Reform of Public Administration (PNRA Project). The main objectives of the Project are: (i) the restoration of the leadership and design capacity of the Government of Burundi; (ii) promoting the values ??of equity, transparency and performance; (iii) the development of a culture of public administration in the service of the citizen and the promotion of the use of ICT in the administration.

The Project is implemented according to the National Execution Modality (NIM). The main implementing partner is the Ministry of Public Service, Labor and Employment. Also, the Ministry has appointed a National Project Director.
