The objective of the Capacity Building and Support to Implement the Integrated Planning System Project is to ensure that the Government of Albania's core policy and financial processes function in a coherent, efficient and integrated manner, through building sufficient and sustainable capacity in line ministries to participate fully in IPS. The project changes include: (i) extending the closing date by one year to September 30, 2011 to implement one of the most important project objectives a fully functional treasury system to support AFMIS (Albanian Financial Management Information System); (ii) account for additional financial resources to be provided from SIDA (0.4 million), and in addition for previously unbudgeted resources (of 0.77 million) (this is the difference between total donor pledges and the value of resources in the Trust Fund); and (iii) introducing the revised results framework matrix to reflect all the changes which had taken place from 2008 and to align better with the new closing date.
