About The PFM Mission

Have you ever wondered why government projects often take longer and cost more than similar private sector ones Or why does the quality of public expenditure sometimes fall short of expectations Take the delays in disbursing funds for school infrastructure or road maintenance projects, for instance. These delays can stretch for months, leading to incomplete projects and depleted resources.

At the heart of the problem is a complex process that moves money from one level of government to the final expenditure entity. This creates significant delays in delivering funds, uncertainty for recipients like schools or hospitals, and an overwhelming administrative burden for frontline staff. The ripple effect of these inefficiencies includes service delivery quality and delayed economic development.

While the public finance management (PFM) domain has seen remarkable progress over the last two decades, with government agencies embracing digital platforms to enhance internal efficiencies, much potential remains untapped. Though these platforms have improved cash management, accounting, revenue, and expenditure tracking within departments, the broader goal remains: ensuring that governments spend faster, smarter, and in ways that create tangible benefits for citizens.

The Public Finance Management (PFM) Mission at eGov is dedicated to enabling governments to spend more efficiently, addressing dynamic governance needs, and ensuring better service delivery outcomes. Through our iFIX platform, we aim to support governments in deploying funds quickly, and wisely, so that businesses thrive, citizens receive the services they need, and public money goes further.
