In this way, officials of the various ministries were grouped under sectors determined by the functional nomenclature in force, for the purpose of assessing and providing the sectors, in consistence with the cross-sectional and global specifications retained, operational action items conforming to the design frame of Management by Objectives (MbO). Particularly, the sector strategy review corresponded to several demands: (i) aligning sector strategies on global specifications, (ii) intra-sector coherence, (iii) inter-sector coherence, and (iv) budgeting strategies. Aligning on national strategy. It should be noted that the sector strategies constitute variations of the national strategy. With the transition from PRSP to GESP involving an intensification of the quest for solid growth by creating formal jobs, it became necessary to redefine the existing comprehensive strategies, with a view to this new orientation put into practice. Internal coherence of sector strategies. A strategy should help reach the objectives set as “a quantifiable change brought on by a cause and effect relation”. This relation should be quite comprehensible for the actions identified to effectively produce the results expected. Programmes and projects are prioritised depending on their impact on growth and poverty reduction. Coherence between strategies. Sector strategies do not vary from one to the other. Each sector is linked to the others and more so each sector often employs goods and services produced by other sectors that actually shape its development. Designing these strategies must more or less associate the sectors most related to its activities. Finally, sector strategies are translated into Priority Action Plans (PAP) and medium term expenditure frameworks. It was deemed reasonable as part of reviewing the strategies to provide very detailed action items capable of facilitating the subsequent costing and budgeting process. Technical tasks were executed with assistance from the various government services in terms of taking into account the Management by Objectives (MbO) approach, which, in our context is considered as: a mode of management based on results rather than resources; a management approach, geared more towards achieving objectives than respecting standards; an alignment of the resources appropriated and results obtained, for greater efficiency, better service quality and enhanced transparency and accountability in public management. In elaborating the GESP, the choice of this methodology was guided by the determination of authorities to implement the Paris Declaration principles on the effectiveness of development assistance.

Rather than an integrated strategy, this sector makes use of the planning elements existing at the level of the ministries (BTP, PDR, PDSE, PANERP Strategy…); The rural sector. The Rural Development Strategy Paper recognised in 2005 covers: MINADER, MINEPIA, MINFOF and MINEP. The last two ministries are part of the Forest and Environment Sector Programme (PSFE) profitably employed in elaborating
