Evaluation of contracts of objectives, a lever for development...

The evaluation of performance contracts is a key initiative implemented by the Burkinabe government to measure and assess the achievements of each ministry over the course of a year. This practice not only provides an accurate assessment of the executed projects but also strengthens transparency and accountability to citizens.

Indeed, each minister is required to report on the actions taken within the framework of the objectives set, in accordance with the terms of reference of their ministry. This approach aims to inform the people of Burkina Faso about the efforts made on their behalf and ensure that public resources are used optimally.

For the government, this evaluation represents a strategic tool for improving institutional performance. By identifying successes and shortcomings, it allows for adjustments to public policies and enhances the effectiveness of state action.

Each ministry is thus encouraged to be efficient in its field, contributing to the achievement of national objectives. This dynamic fosters a results-oriented culture and performance-based management, which is essential for the country’s development.

For taxpayers, this practice guarantees transparency. By being informed of the tangible achievements of each ministry, citizens can better understand the use of public funds and assess the impact of implemented policies. This strengthens the trust between the state and the population, while encouraging more active citizen participation. The people of Burkina Faso thus become informed actors in the development of their country.

The evaluation of performance contracts is a relevant practice that benefits both the government and taxpayers. It improves governance, optimizes the use of resources, and strengthens accountability. For Burkina Faso, this strategy represents a further step towards more effective public management that is closer to the expectations of its citizens.
