Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Public Financial Management (PFM) is pivotal in providing timely, transparent and accurate financial information across the public sector. Developing a strong PFM training program can help inform Government decision making in support of service delivery, and ultimately benefit the citizens of the country. This demand is particularly acute in fragile and post conflict states like Somalia.
