Purpose
To provide technical expertise in the legal field to the Ministry of Finance and Public Investment Management Unit during the review and monitoring of capital investment projects.
Objective
To enhance overall quality of the process of capital investments projects review and monitoring.
Background Information
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the further improvement of the capacities of the Ministry of Finance for the efficient coordination and management of economic reforms and accession negotiations as well as for fulfilling the economic and political criteria for EU membership. The present proposal complements the Support to strengthening technical capacity and institutional development of the Ministry of Finance and coordination in the field of economic governance and foresees the provision of additional support for the implementation of the activities in the previous amendment.
Ministry of finance (MoF) adopted unique methodology - system for managing both planning and implementation of capital projects. On the basis of the unique Methodology, on 18 of July 2019 the Government of the Republic of Serbia (GoS) adopted a new Public Investment Management (PIM) Decree that came into force as of January 2020 and applies to all capital projects regardless of funding source. New PIM system is aimed at strengthening the existing quality controls of capital projects, both at the planning and execution stages, institutionalized quality control points and installed new “gate-keeping” mechanisms, such as investment pre-selection, resolution of dormant projects and ex-post evaluation are.
New system is built to ensure the development of a single mechanism for all investments, regardless of the source of financing, in order to ensure a more active role of the MoF during preparation and monitoring of capital investments.
During April 2019, the GoS established the Capital Investment Commission (CIC), chaired by the Prime minister of Serbia, as a key decision-making point for capital projects, as stipulated by the new PIM Decree. The new PIM system is also enhanced by the establishment of the Public Investment Management (PIM) Unit at the MoF that will be dealing with capital investment planning and monitoring with direct reporting line to the CIC.
As one of the most significant capital investment projects, the construction and development of the land area envisaged for the new Fair and EXPO BELGRADE 2027 in Belgrade represents one of the main priorities of the Government of Serbia. Taking into consideration the importance of EXPO BELGRADE 2027, the Government of Serbia has allocated major financial support within the budget for the implementation of this capital project. Being an event of great strategic significance for the Republic of Serbia, EXPO BELGRADE 2027 has been declared as project of national interest for the country. Bearing in mind the strategic location of Serbia and its long history in being a bridge between the West and the East, as well as a major transport hub within Europe, connecting different major international highways, the said project will additionally boost the economic outlook of Serbia, but also its image of one of the fastest growing economies in Europe.
In this context, by hosting the EXPO in Serbia, and sharing the advanced technologies, cultures, social issues, and visions of the individual, international participants will be able to send an important message not only to the Serbian public but also to audiences in the rest of the region of Southeast Europe, reaching a rapidly growing market of over 400 million people.
In line with the abovementioned, the UNDP in Serbia is seeking a qualified and experienced local expert to assist the Ministry of Finance by providing technical expertise in the organizational field to the Ministry of Finance and Public Investment Management Unit during the review and monitoring of capital investment projects.
