SUBJECT: CHAD: A PUBLISHED BUDGET

REF: STATE 28885


1. (U) The Government of the Republic of Chad makes its
annual budget publicly available in print format, issued by
the Ministry of Finance's Department of Budget. The
government also formally publishes the budget in the GOC
Official Journal. The annual budget details revenues by
activity and expenditures by ministry.


2. (U) The IMF's PEFA (Public Expenditure and Financial
Accountability) team recently noted that a significant
portion of GOC expenditures are "extra-budgetary." The GOC
acknowledges that it needs assistance in the area of public
finance management and works with the variety of donors --
IMF, WB, EU -- to improve its capacity.


3. (U) The GOC has shown progress in its efforts to
standardize its procedures and increase transparency, but
much work remains. The IMF, WB, and EU programs in the area
of public finance management are small; there is insufficient
donor assistance to adequately support the GOC's efforts to
competently manage its budget.
