Albania Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Performance Assessment Report

Abstract

The Public Expenditure and Financial
 Accountability (PEFA) assessment aims to provide the
 government of Albania with an objective up-to-date
 diagnostic of the national public financial management (PFM)
 performance based on the latest PEFA methodology. The
 assessment establishes a new PEFA baseline using the 2016
 PEFA methodology and provides an update on changes in
 performance since the 2011 assessment using the earlier
 methodology. The process cultivated a shared understanding
 of PFM performance and those dimensions that require
 improvement. The results are expected to assist the
 government in monitoring the implementation and updating of
 its 2014-2020 Public financial management reform strategy.
