The Programme d'Appui à la Redevabilité et l'Inclusion (PARI) – Programme to provide Technical Assistance and Civil Society Support (TACS) to support accountability and inclusion in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ("DRC PARI-TACS") project is a £9.5m FCDO-funded programme running from December 2024 to March 2027. DRC PARI-TACS aims to improve public financial management (PFM) and the governance of service delivery at a provincial level, by improving provincial and local government capacity to deliver services and improving the ability of civil society to hold provincial and local government accountable to deliver these services. Evidence shows that in order to support improvements in service delivery and PFM, it is necessary to support both supply (Government) and demand (Civil Society) side interventions.
