Improved budget, budget execution and accounting, following the implementation of the IFMIS; 2. An integrated Human Resource Management and Payroll system has been procured; 3 Human Resource Capacity has been strengthened, through a significant amount of training, including establishing internal audit units and PMUs in all MDAs; 4.

This “PEFA Assessment” (“Assessment”) provides an analysis of the current performance of all aspects of Zanzibar's PFM systems, and establishes a baseline against which future developments can be measured.
