Abstract
Myriad challenges, but also
opportunities, surround public financial management (PFM)
reforms in postconflict environments. This note provides
recommendations that focus on the special characteristics of
postconflict environments and their implications for the
design and implementation of PFM reform initiatives, and on
links to the wider goals of state-building and service
delivery. This note principally draws on a cross-country
review of the design, implementation, and impact of public
financial management (PFM) reforms in eight postconflict
states. Focusing on the PFM reform experience over a
7–10-year period from the early 2000s to 2010, the goal of
the study was to understand what has worked in countries’
efforts to strengthen PFM systems, and how PFM strengthening
impacts wider state-building goals.
