IGF Mission Summary: Audit du Programme de Scolarisation Universelle Gratuite et Obligatoire (PSUGO)
Summary: The Inspection Générale des Finances' published summary of its mission on audit du Programme de Scolarisation Universelle Gratuite et Obligatoire (PSUGO). The IGF's summaries give the mission's subject, its findings and its recommendations; the full report is not published. The document carries no publication date. 2012 is the latest year the document itself refers to, so it is a floor — the mission cannot predate it — and not a publication date read off a cover.
Key Findings
- IGF audited the Universal Free and Compulsory Schooling Program after one year of operation at the Prime Minister's request.
- PSUGO was launched during the 2011-2012 school year to increase school access for school-age children.
- The program is divided into three components: eliminating public-school fees, creating new schools and training teachers, and subsidizing non-public schools.
- General findings cite missing technical survey documents, first-phase execution outside MENFP's institutional circuit, no project document, operations outside formal norms and procedures, weak contractual control mechanisms, weak MENFP internal control and ambiguous financial-management procedures.
- Specific findings identify delays and unclear decisions on public-school fee elimination, weak technical basis for allocations, and weak criteria, procedures and controls for non-public school subsidies.
- IGF rated PSUGO norms and procedures as weak and issued an unfavorable opinion with recommendations to formalize procedures, strengthen MENFP systems, improve financial controls and build better data on the non-public education sector.
