The Project Performance Assessment Report (PPAR) assesses the Sierra Leone 'Integrated Public Financial Management Reform Project' (IPFMRP), which was approved on June 4, 2009, and closed on July 31, 2014. The objective of the project was to sustainably improve the credibility, control and transparency of fiscal and budget management. The report presents findings based on a review of the Project Appraisal Document (PAD), the Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR), relevant laws of Sierra Leone and the Government of Sierra Leone’s budget documents, policies, strategies, action plans and progress reports. Information was obtained from stakeholder interviews in Sierra Leone in September 2017 and from interviews with World Bank staff. An informal Public Expenditure Financial Accountability (PEFA) update for selected PEFA indicators was carried out in 2017 to determine the sustainability of reform supported by the IPFMRP.
