Le Gouvernement de la République de Guinée s’est engagé dans un approfondissement de ses réformes de gestion des finances publiques (GFP), conformément à la directive de la CEDEAO relative aux lois de finances et d’autres cadre de convergence qui servent de benchmark telles que certaines directives pertinentes de l’UEMOA même si le pays n’appartient pas à cette zone monétaire. La transition d’un budget traditionnel en postes linéaires vers un budget structuré par programmes est l'un des axes majeurs de cet engagement. Cette réforme est une approche reconnue internationalement pour son orientation vers les résultats et la performance. Elle organise les dépenses publiques autour de missions, programmes et sous-programmes, chacun assorti d’objectifs clairement définis, d’indicateurs de performance et de responsables identifiés. Ce modèle renforce ainsi la redevabilité, facilite la planification pluriannuelle via le CDMT, et améliore la qualité de prestation des services publics.

L’extension à tous les autres ministères qui est projetée dès 2027 dépend en effet des succès et des leçons apprises lors de cette phase pilote.
