The IDF Grant would help the RGC implement the one action of the Harmonization/Alignment Action Plan which aims to integrate PMUs functions into standard government structures.  This is consistent with the January 2004 CPPR's recommendation that donors and the government explore ways to streamline the use of PMUs. The main activities financed by the grant would consist of: i.   undertaking a study tour to a neighboring country which have integrated project implementation functions successfully in order to share experience; ii.   reviewing management and implementation arrangements of ODA-financed projects in most sectors and recommending changes to promote the utilization and development of efficient, transparent and accountable of existing normal administrative structures; iii.   helping the government reach consensus around the recommended actions with the donors community through workshops and other consultative meetings; and iv.   supporting the implementation of the strategy through provision of technical assistance, training and equipment.
