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.

The review will examine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and early signs of impact of the gender action plans that emerged from the GALA process.

The principal objective of the Child Protection AoR in north-east Nigeria is to ensure that child protection services for children, including adolescents, and caregivers most affected by the humanitarian crisis are responsive, efficient, effective and inclusive. The Child Protection AoR (CP AoR) is currently co-led by the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (MWASD) and UNICEF. In line with the localization strategy, UNICEF will actively support the transitioning of the CP AoR coordination to the Nigerian government. UNICEF works to support the efforts of the Nigerian Government to provide reintegration services to children and women exiting armed groups and those released from detention in north-east Nigeria. The effective reintegration of children is hindered by the impact of armed conflict on societies, such as the absence of livelihood opportunities, weak economies and markets, and a breakdown of social infrastructure, including schools and health facilities. As part of the efforts to scale up reintegration support to children and women, UNICEF will continue to engage and collaborate with civil society organizations and private sector institutions to support the provision of economic and social reintegration support to vulnerable people, including adolescent girls and women, with interventions that address their specific reintegration needs. These programmes aim to help individuals find their way back into civilian life, thereby reducing the likelihood of a return to violence or criminality and preventing the emergence of future conflicts.
