Enhancing IFMIS for service delivery
Enhancing IFMIS for service delivery
27 May 2023
Government officers will undergo training aimed at integrating the procurement and asset management within the Integrated Financial Management Information system (IFMIS). The training is part of government efforts to digitize all services and enhance service delivery for all.
The Business Process Re-engineering to be implemented countrywide, will see the procurement module incorporated within IFMIS thereby fastening the procurement process and effectively addressing and eliminating the headache associated with the recurrent pending bills for government in every financial year. The improved system aligned to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012 will see effective management of inventory while reducing government vulnerability to accusations of mismanagement.
The government has continued to take a beating as its systems have remained manual effectively facilitating corruption. Previous efforts at addressing this vulnerability in the procurement system have seen many officers suspended without adequately addressing systemic challenges.
