THE PROCEDURE MANUAL FOR TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL OPERATIONS UNDER REVIEW
The Environmental Intervention Fund (FIE) is working to update its operating mechanisms. Given that its operation is governed by principles and approaches set out in the Technical and Financial Operations Procedures Manual (MPO), the structure has decided to review it .
Thus, from April 7 to 10, 2025, the FIE executives are in the process of reviewing the MPO. This revision is essential for several reasons. First and foremost, it will allow for an update of standards and regulations . Indeed, environmental policies, national and international laws evolve over time. As such, it is important that the manual reflects legislative changes or new regulations regarding environmental management in order to ensure that the FIE remains compliant with current standards and can benefit from international funding or technical assistance.
The review then aims to improve internal processes . It will identify weak points or areas of inefficiency in current procedures. This review will simplify and optimize working methods, which will improve the Fund's responsiveness and efficiency in managing its projects.
Furthermore, the revision of the MPO is explained by the need to adapt to new priorities and strategies . The FIE must necessarily adjust its priorities according to new environmental issues or local needs. This review will allow the integration of new strategic objectives, project selection criteria or more appropriate monitoring and evaluation tools.
In addition, the review of the FIE MPO aims to improve transparency and communication , strengthen risk management and renew partnerships and funding .
In summary, the overall objective of this activity is to carry out the revision of the MPO so that it reflects new organizational structures, current practices and legal and regulatory developments, while maintaining its operational effectiveness.
For four (4) days, the participants, meeting in plenary, will have to identify ambiguities, contradictions or obsolete information from the MPO; update the procedures according to organizational changes to ensure a clear distribution of roles and responsibilities; verify that the procedures in place for the management of financial and technical operations comply with current standards and good practices.
They will also have to identify and correct any flaws in procedures that could create operational or financial risks; ensure that all procedures comply with current legal, tax and accounting requirements; integrate all observations and propose the revised version of the MPO.
