Description
Bangladesh articulates its vision to achieve middle income status by 2021 in the National Perspective
Plan. Development of human capital has become an urgent task for the government to further
accelerate economic growth and poverty reduction. The government currently implements its own
sector programs through the Secondary Education Sector Investment Program (SESIP) and Skills for
Employment Investment Program (SEIP). With the vision to develop a sound education and skills
sector system in the middle income country by 2021, the government uses the national system of
nancial management and procurement procedures both under SESIP and SEIP. These government's
sector investment programs are also supported by the development partners, including Asian
Development Bank (ADB).
The following are the identied challenges in procurement and nancial management (PFM): (i) weak
budget-preparation capacity and the separation of development and non-development budgets, (ii)
large o-budget scal activities, (iii) little eort to mobilize revenues, (iv) limited performance
reporting, (v) weak capacity in internal audit, (vi) government accounting and auditing not entirely
meeting international standards, and (vii) Inconsistently applied rules and the lack of standards in
procurement practices (e.g. post procurement review is set in the government regulations but not
conducted regularly). There are urgent needs of capacity development in each area.
Impact
More ecient and market-relevant secondary education and skills development systems (Secondary
Education Road Map and Skills Sector Road Map)
