Annual Meeting of the PEM PAL Budget Community of Practice
Center of Excellence in Finance, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The BCOP Executive Committee (EC) met in Ljubljana,
Slovenia from February 19 to 21, 2009.
Highlights of the
meeting include:
- A revised BCOP Action Plan for 2009. Please note the upcoming events,
especially the OECD SBO meeting in St. Petersburg from June 25 to 26. This will
be the best opportunity for BCOP members to see and talk with each other during
2009. Senior Budget Officers will soon be invited to come to this event. Please
be sure to attend.
- Valentyna Doletska from Ukraine was elected 3rd Vice Chair. Samat Kiljiev
became 2nd Vice Chair. Maksim Ermolovich is 1st Vice Chair. Papuna Petriashvili
became the Chair for 2009.
- The Rules of BCOP were changed to allow all previous Chairs to remain on the
Executive Committee. Also, each ministry is requested to appoint a
representative to the Executive Committee if your ministry is not already
represented. This means that Uzbekistan, Armenia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia,
Macedonia and Kosovo are invited to appoint new representatives to the Executive
Committee. Rano Zabirova from Tajikistan was the first person to join the EC
under this new rule.
- The EC joined in a video conference and other activities with BCOP's PEFA
Working Group (PWG), which has been exploring this topic for several months.
Separate reports are available on the web pages about the PWG.
- Excellent presentations were given in Russian on the experiences of
Armenia's program budget efforts (by Suren Pohgosyan and Mark Worledge); and
Moldova's experiences with MTEF (by Natalia Sclearuc). The presentations were
followed by additional member discussions.
- The EC set aside travel money for ministry staff to attend the CEF training
seminar on MTEF in April. This seminar will be delivered in English only. The
allocation will only pay for the first 4 or 5 persons to travel to Ljubljana.
Ministries should consider sending staff at ministry expense.
