Background

The ERCEP (Nicaraguan PRSP) established a system of indicators and impact,
and a great number of structural policies and measures to be implemented by
the Government. Later on, a monitoring system of indicators and reforms was
created. The main monitoring system is the annual ERCEP progress report,
which has been published in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The SINASIP(Sistema
Nacional de seguimientos a los Indicadores de la Pobreza) was created in
order to carry out a continuous monitoring of the indicators and it is under
the supervision of the SECEP (Secretaria de Coordinación y  Estrategia de la
Presidencia), who collect the data of the different sources, make the
statistics and publish it in the Web so that the Government has access to
recent data. The Sistema Integrado de Gestión Financiera y Auditoria
(SIGFA), which is both under the supervision of the Public Finance Ministry
and under the supervision of the SECEP through the Sistema de Inversión
Pública (SNIP), manages also other financial indicators related to public
finance and budgetary implementation. Also, in order to monitor these
indicators, a certain number of official surveys are launched regularly. The
actual monitoring and indicators system is therefore very complex and does
not allow responding to the needs of the country. The system is quite
expensive to handle and its sustainability is very doubtful.
Last May a group of donors signed with the government a financing agreement
for the provision of General Budgetary support  aligned with the objective
on the National Development Plan and monitored through a Performance
assessment Matrix (PAM)  which indicators are drawn from the PND.

Objective of this consultancy

To elaborate a strategy, a "road map", to obtain an integrated monitoring
system of the PND (Plan Nacional de Desarrollo) with progress reports that
incorporate in a single process, managed by the government, the economic and
social progress reports made by the government to the assembly, the civil
society, the donors and international institutions. This would allow to
obtain also a higher level of coordination of the indicators systems both at
sectoral and global level and at project/programme level.
