PRSP Monitoring and Synthesis Project

This project aims to provide timely advice, guidance notes, and synthesis papers on PRS implementation, supporting DFID's strategic engagement. It collects and archives information on PRSPs globally, produces synthetic materials, acts as a contact point for PRSP inquiries, and covers topics such as ownership patterns and participation in PRS processes, links between budgets and PRSPs, changes in IFI and donor behavior, and PRS review and monitoring processes. The project also includes long-term research on the political dynamics of the PRSP process.

  3. Objective “The objective of the Project is to support and enhance DFID’s engagement in the PRS process through providing well-timed advice, guidance notes and synthesis papers on key issues arising in the country implementation of PRSs. Although the main thrust of the Project is to support DFID’s strategic engagement with PRSs (mainly at the level of IFID and the Regional Policy Departments) it will aim to assist country offices through regular newsletters, best practice notes and access to synthesis materials through the DFID intranet.”

Short term monitoring Cover the following topics • Patterns of ownership of, and participation in, PRS processes • Emerging links between budgets and PRSPs – MTEFs, costings etc. • Evolving links between PRSPs, PRGFs, and PRSCs – moves toward common performance frameworks etc. • Changes in IFI and donor behaviour – coordination, harmonisation, transparency, JSA processes etc. • PRS review, evaluation and monitoring processes

  6. Longer term research • Currently one long term research project on the political dynamics of the PRSP process • Producing 4 country case studies and a synthesis
