A PEFA assessment provides a thorough, consistent and evidence-based analysis of PFM performance at a specific point in time. The PEFA methodology can be reapplied in successive assessments to track changes over time. PEFA is a partnership program managed by eight international development partners: the European Commission, International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, French Ministry of Foreign Af

fairs, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Slovak Ministry of Finance, Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, and the UK's Department for International Development. The PEFA Partners jointly establish the objectives and scope of the PEFA Program, define the content of the PEFA brand and criteria for its use, provide institutional support for its implementation and mobilize the necessary resources for its activities. The PEFA Program is managed and implemented through a structure involving the PEFA Steering Committee composed of PEFA Partners, which directs and monitors the PEFA Program, and the PEFA Secretariat, which implements the program’s activities.
