Supporting Public Resource Management Reforms in Balochistan

The design of the BRMP, supported by the TA loan, was meant to promote the use ofavailable fiscal resources for delivering services to the poor. This can happen only if the system that links the financial sector and the delivery of services to the poor exists on the ground, and is functioning properly. The situation in Balochistan clearly did not fulfill these conditions. During Board consideration of the loan, a number of members had raised this issue and cautioned the staff, saying that implementation was going to be key.
