Comoros : Assessment of Performance Under the Program Supported by Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance and Request for a Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility: Staff Report; Supplement, Informational Annex; Staff Statement,

This paper discusses an assessment of Comoros's performance Under the Program Supported by the Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance (EPCA). Overall performance under the EPCA-supported program has been broadly satisfactory. Nearly all EPCA performance indicators for end-March 2009 were observed. Revenue collection was stronger than anticipated. On the spending side, recent measures to improve expenditure management are gradually restoring order in spending operations, although continued difficulties have been experienced in managing the wage bill. All but one of the structural indicators were met.
