182 koInternational conference Implementation of the new constitutional by-law on budget acts in Chad : issues and challenges. Conference proceedings (2012) – During the last decades, public finance management has undergone a genuine revolution. Program Budgeting has replaced line item budgeting which had, for centuries, been the financial management tool “par excellence”. The emphasis is now placed on services delivered to citizens, and government performance is appraised in comparison with the attainment of objectives that have been pre-determined…The original of this publication is available on the website of the Action Plan pour la Modernisation de la gestion de Finances Publiques : http://www.pamfip.org		2 700 koLa reddition des comptes (2010) – Accountability can not simply be reduced to comparisons of technical and financial indicators. The Public Institution must seek to measure the contribution made during the period, with the strategic objectives while demonstrating that along the way she used public resources optimally.		765 koLa participation du secteur privé dans l’exploitation des systèmes d’eau potable en milieux rural et semi-urbain en Afrique et l’utilisation optimum des fonds publics (2008) – The implementation of PPP must: i ) establish the sustainability of systems on a real desire of people to have improved drinking water services ii) optimally use private sector resources available and iii) as a priority, direct public investment towards the poorest communities.
3 500 koDémarche de privatisation des entreprises de service public – Cas de l’électricité (2005) – In Africa, in general, the privatization of commercial enterprises has aroused little opposition in principle… The discontent was felt when it appeared that disengagement programs by the state often resulted in layoffs in restructured or privatized companies as well as the outright closure of companies while nets in place were insufficient, poorly designed or unsuitable to local contexts.		1 000 koModèles institutionnels de gestion des ouvrages d’irrigation (2001) -Twenty years after the International Decade for Drinking Water and Sanitation (IDWSSD), and despite the importance of the results achieved in terms of access to drinking water, several international organizations consider the investment have not been optimized. Indeed, an important part of the infrastructure is underutilized or out of service because the systems operation and maintenance have failed to timely trigger appropriate actions. The causes are mainly related to the approach: decision-making at the central government (strategy based on supply), non-involvement of beneficiary communities in the design of infrastructure and the level of service, lack of project ownership by these communities (no transfer of ownership and no financial implications) and finally, insufficient action to improve their capacity for collective organization and management.		221 koLa délégation de gestion dans le secteur de distribution d’eau potable (1997) – Sector production / transportation / distribution of drinking water is, in most cases, a natural monopoly, whether a municipal or a state monopoly. As such, whatever the extent of delegated responsibilities, the community never departed from the ultimate responsibility for providing a public service. Even in Britain, where concessions were granted in perpetuity, they may be terminated after 25 years, after a notice period of 10 years, in addition, at any time, the State may terminate the contract in case of failure of the private operator.
449 koDémarche de privatisation des entreprises publiques – Les étapes incontournables (1997) – During the 80s and 90s, many efforts were made to develop exit strategies of the state and to manage the process of transfering ownership of public enterprises. The case presented in this document does not claim to originality or exclusivity, it only reflects more than a decade of experience, mainly in Africa, in these areas.		146 koL’éducation et la santé : essai de clarification conceptuelle (1997) – A definition of Education To Health requires to have a clear idea of the signification of two terms : Education and Health. Clear concepts should help to trace a line between Education to Health and Health promotion and Prevention.		143 koSanté : un modèle d’évaluation d’impact des projets de développement (1997) – This document encourages program officers and partners in development to consider the effects of CIDA programs on health. The practical implications of this approach were discussed at the 3rd Annual Canadian Conference on Health and Development by the President of CIDA, in November 1996. The President expressed hope that CIDA takes into account at the stage of projects planning, their impact on health, the same way environment and women are.
