It also includes setting project priorities, managing lifecycle stages, and rigorously monitoring performance metrics to ensure alignment with approved financial allocations and proj

Integral to the registry’s infrastructure are two principal databases: one dedicated to government investment projects and the other to public-private partnership initiatives, detailing both direct and indirect financial commitments associated with these projects.
The bylaw further mandates the formation of a specialized committee for government investment projects and delineates the responsibilities of a designated organizational unit within the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation.
