Results of CAP-Scan in Senegal and Next Steps (MfDR, 24 Aug 2010)

In June 2009, Senegal, like Niger and Mauritania before it, launched the CAP-Scan process, which involves a systematic self-assessment of MfDR capacities with a view to building such capacities, using an action plan. This analytical framework includes the five central pillars of MfDR: leadership, planning and budgeting, statistical capacity, monitoring and evaluation, and accountability and partnerships. In Senegal, the analysis was carried out using a sampling of 10 (ten) government departments that had carried out the participative analysis of MfDR internal capacities, and served as the basis for the development of an action plan.

In this context, the aims of the workshop were as follows:

• to share the methodological approach and results of the CAP-Scan in Senegal with all stakeholders;
• to validate the MfDR capacity building action plan, as well as the institutional mechanism;
• to define the terms and conditions for introducing the CAP-Scan tool into the process for the development and generalized adoption of MTEFs.
