PEFA Steering Committee Plans the PEFA Program’s Fourth Phase - Newsflash!

Posted by the PEFA Secretariat

The seven PEFA partners met for their regular six-monthly Steering Committee meeting on December 11th and 12th. The meeting was hosted and chaired by the European Commission and held in Brussels.

The main item on the agenda was the preparation of the PEFA Program’s fourth phase. It was agreed that the fourth phase will cover a five year period starting July 1, 2012. Whilst the current activities of the program will continue - especially the services provided to users of the PEFA Framework - a number of new initiatives were also agreed to form part of Phase IV.

During the coming months, we will communicate further on each of these three developments.

The Steering Committee also prepared for the succession of the management of the PEFA Secretariat in connection with the transition to Phase IV. Frans Ronsholt, who has been the Head of Secretariat since April 2006, will retire in 2012. A vacancy announcement will be posted shortly by the World Bank.

The next ordinary meeting of the Steering Committee will take place in Washington DC in June 2012, hosted and chaired by the World Bank.
