Four Assist Development Consulting Ltd together with ADE have been selected to conduct Operational Assessments (OAs) of public financial management and other financial circuits of countries benefiting from EU Macro-Financial Assistance, which is a form of conditional policy lending. This contract will cover EU candidate and pre-candidate countries as well as the countries of the European Neighbourhood. The objective of the assessments is to provide a detailed analysis of the operation of various administrative bodies (central banks, ministries of finance, auditing bodies) involved in managing Community funds in the countries receiving macroeconomic aid in its various forms from the European Commission. The total value of the framework contract is €750.000.

For 4Assist specifically, this is the 4th consecutive, four-year framework contract entrusted to us by #DGECFIN. In the new fwc we have already successfully conducted two Operational Assessments, one in Egypt and one in Jordan. During the previous ones we assessed PFM systems of 16 countries.
