Monitoring and Evaluation, and Publication of CIB Budget Implementation Report (PNG0029)

Commitment 8.4.1 Publication of the Capital Investment Budget Implementation Report

The Department of National Planning and Monitoring is the custodian of the Capital Investment Budget (CIB), a component of the National Budget that funds public investment programs and projects nationwide. The medium-term development plan priorities guide CIB allocations through the Annual Budget Framework Paper, which links the CIB and MTDP priorities annually. This is a new commitment under the NAP III.

The commitment reaffirms the DNPM's vital role and reemphasizes the importance of monitoring, evaluating, and publishing the CIB Implementation Report on citizen accessibility. The publication of the report will hold leaders responsible for public funds accountable and improve transparency and accountability.

Tables 1-4 below provide a summary of the commitment's activities, key milestones, strategies, and indicators.
