PFM Specialist

Location: Adamawa.

Background:

The purpose of the five-year (2020-2025) “State Accountability, Transparency and Effectiveness” (“State2State”) Activity is to increase the accountability, transparency and effectiveness of selected state and local governments (LGAs) in Nigeria. This will be achieved by: strengthening governance systems (with a focus on public financial management [PFM] and procurement, as well as monitoring and evaluation) related to the delivery of services in key sectors (basic education, primary health care, and water, sanitation and hygiene [WASH]); increasing government responsiveness to citizen needs and priorities; and improving government and civil society capacity to manage conflict (through work on prevention, mitigation and reconciliation with the same sectoral partners, not stand-alone assistance to the police or judiciary). State2State will achieve this purpose by facilitating the strengthening of subnational governance systems in a sustainable manner, supporting the efforts of local reformers, and building on locally derived solutions including, to the extent possible, reforms already working in other parts of Nigeria.

Position Objectives:

The PFM Specialist is a technical staff member embedded at the state-level. S/he will provide support and leadership to PFM interventions and ensure relevant PFM interventions within the state, Adamawa in this case.

Responsibilities:

The PFM Specialist will provide technical assistance (TA) and advisory services in relation to the following PFM interventions within the state for which s/he is responsible:

  1. Budget Planning, Administration and Execution:
    1. Planning and preparation of budgets that are comprehensive, realistic, credible, and clearly link policies with proposed expenditures;
  2. Developing and implementing multi-year planning frameworks such as Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Medium-Term Sector Strategies (MTSS) in Education, Health, and WASH;
  3. Developing annual procurement plans in key sectors of Education, Health, and WASH to foster greater transparency, reduce risk, and support service delivery efficiency.
  4. Planning and management of procurement and expenditure processes to ensure that a higher portion of the budget is executed during the fiscal year; and
  5. Monitoring adjustments and reporting on the achievement of the purposes for which the budget was approved, through timely in-year (monthly and quarterly) budget performance reports.
  6. Budget Transparency:
    1. Developing systems to release draft budgets, approved budgets, and regular within-year (monthly or quarterly, not just annual) expenditure reports in a format conducive to public understanding and analysis; so that citizens can monitor not only what has been allocated but also what has actually been spent in the key sectors of Health, Education, and WASH.
  7. Procurement:
    1. Supporting the state in the development or updating of Fiscal Responsibility and Public Procurement Manual and legislation with a focus on soft skills in the areas of policies and strategies for the effective implementation of these laws.
  8. Auditing
    1. Assisting the Offices of Auditors General for State and Local Government to improve the quality and quantity of its performance and financial audits with a focus on Education, Health, and WASH spending/programs. This may require aligning state efforts with policies and reforms undertaken by the Auditor General of the Federation and other best practices promoted by International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).
  9. Internal Controls
    1. Improving the quality and functioning of systems of internal controls in Central Internal Audit Control (CIAD) department/office, including the full adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and the National Chart of Accounts (NCOA). This is to ensure fewer opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse of public funds, and a reduced chance of negative audit findings; and eventually promote appropriate use of funds leading to improved allocation and expenditure in key sectors of Health, Education, and WASH.
  10. Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM)
    1. Increasing DRM, particularly tax revenues, through the development of Revenue Enhancement/Expansion Strategy, and appropriate policies and a roadmap for implementation of the Strategy; and
    2. Encouraging the State Governments and LGAs to spend a significant portion of these increased revenues on the target social service sectors of Education, Health, and WASH.
  11. Monitoring and Evaluation
    1. Strengthening and improving the capacity of government (State and LGAs) to monitor and evaluate both their financial management, procurement and audit functions and the magnitude of impact of resulting improvements to service delivery.
    2. Conduct bi-annual PFM assessments across 7 pillars and 64 indicators using State2State PFM Assessment Tool and conduct other thematic assessments as required; prepare reports, identify gaps, and make recommendations.
  12. Debt Management
  13. Strengthening and improving the capacity of government (State Debt Management Agency/Department/Office/Unit) to analyze, report, publish, and improve the debt position of the State ensuring adherence to Debt Management and Fiscal Responsibility Laws, and using the Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA)-Debt Management Strategy (DMS), Arrears Clearance Framework (ACF), internal domestic expenditure arrears database, etc.;
  14. Supporting in carrying out debt sustainability analysis; and

  • El Balanceo de Componentes: Elemento Clave para un Desempeño Óptimo

    ¿Alguna vez has notado vibraciones extrañas en una máquina? ¿O tal vez ruidos que no deberían estar ahí? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como un desequilibrio en alguna pieza rotativa . Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte caro .

    El equilibrado de piezas es una tarea fundamental tanto en la fabricación como en el mantenimiento de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes, rotores y componentes de motores eléctricos . Su objetivo es claro: impedir oscilaciones que, a la larga, puedan provocar desperfectos graves.

    ¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
    Imagina que tu coche tiene una llanta mal nivelada . Al acelerar, empiezan los temblores, el manubrio se mueve y hasta puede aparecer cierta molestia al manejar . En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias aún peores :

    Aumento del desgaste en bearings y ejes giratorios
    Sobrecalentamiento de partes críticas
    Riesgo de averías súbitas
    Paradas imprevistas que exigen arreglos costosos
    En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, una mínima falla podría derivar en una situación compleja.

    Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
    No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:

    Equilibrado dinámico
    Ideal para piezas que giran a alta velocidad, como rotores o ejes . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en varios niveles simultáneos. Es el método más exacto para asegurar un movimiento uniforme .
    Equilibrado estático
    Se usa principalmente en piezas como neumáticos, discos o volantes de inercia. Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en un plano . Es rápido, sencillo y eficaz para ciertos tipos de maquinaria .
    Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
    Taladrado selectivo: se perfora la región con exceso de masa
    Colocación de contrapesos: tal como en neumáticos o perfiles de poleas
    Ajuste de masas: común en cigüeñales y otros componentes críticos
    Equipos profesionales para detectar y corregir vibraciones
    Para hacer un diagnóstico certero, necesitas herramientas precisas. Hoy en día hay opciones disponibles y altamente productivas, por ejemplo :

    ✅ Balanset-1A — Tu aliado portátil para equilibrar y analizar vibraciones
