GoJ continues to work on the preparation of the bidding documents for the PIMIS, improving on the training of project managers and analyzing the different projects that had been submitted to the PIMSEC. By May 2017, GoJ trained 107 public servants on project management, over 30 public servants on Impact Assessment and Evaluation of policies and projects, and performed quality control of project design or re-design of 96 projects (new and ongoing) by PIMSEC. Going forward, improvements are needed to the web-based database to make better use of this IT solution for PSIP preparation and the quarterly monitoring reports. At the moment the database covers only those projects funded with GoJ resources (Capital A) and external resources (Capital B). It does not include public bodies (Capital C) projects. Under Component 2 - Strengthening the Budget Preparation Process and Results Based Budgeting -, activities have included the rationalization of programs in eight MDAs, the preparation of forward estimates by all MDAs, and the development of a five-year action plan to roll out MTRBB across all MDAs. MDAs are preparing their forward estimates using a simple Excel tool called the Forward Estimates Tool. The tool has been used in two consecutive years with good results. During the first year approximately 90 percent of MDAs prepared their forward estimates using the tool. Coverage increased to 100 percent during the second year. The Ministry of Finance intends to publish forward estimates for all MDAs in the Estimates of Expenditure, although a target date has not been set for this. A new budget book format for the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, and Fisheries was piloted. The new format contains information on the budget for the current fiscal year, historical expenditure for two years, and forward estimates for three years. Component 3 (Adaptive Public Sector Approaches to Promote Fiscal Sustainability) is implementing innovating initiatives to establish a Public Sector Leadership Framework and Competency Framework, as well as the design of a change management strategy that applies behavioral insights. Initiatives developed under this components are supporting the broader public sector modernization agenda by create a more collaborative work place and realign skills with changes in functions. Component 5 (Fostering Industrial Growth and Trade Facilitation) is contributing to the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) convergence towards the implementation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade agreement.
