Kyrgyz Republic uses software to aid economic reform

By Captain Wang | 4 January 2010

The government of the Kyrgyz Republic is implementing an integrated Treasury Management Information System (TMIS) and Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) as part of the former Soviet country’s push for economic reform.

The TMIS is designed to improve the efficiency of government, decision-making, cash management and budget execution. The system will help ensure that all government budgets are executed according to government priorities.

The HRMIS was implemented to aid civil service reform and increase human capacity within government. Effective human resource management systems will assist in the improved professionalisation of the civil service through setting standards, training programs for personnel development and assessing progress.

“The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic is committed to public expenditure reform that will establish a more strategic and transparent budget formulation and budget execution process,” said Saidbek Zulpuev, Director of the Central Treasury and Deputy Minister of Finance of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic.

“The introduction of integrated planning solutions as part of the reform process positions our Government to affect change and provide new levels of accountability and value to our citizens.”

The new technology, branded the FreeBalance Accountability Suite, will be implemented in over 100 sites, including all central government ministries, agencies, departments, and regional treasury offices. Software will also be implemented in 3000 state agencies and budget organisations. The payroll system will handle a civil service workforce of 76,000 employees.

The reform of the Kyrgyz Republic’s public sector has been supported by a Governance Structural Adjustment Credit from the World Bank’s International Development Association.
