BACKGROUND: The process of developing a PRS varies greatly because it takes place in different countries, under different kinds of governments and circumstances. In general, though, the process can be thought of in terms of several phases, although certain elements, particularly participatory processes, may run throughout. It is important that the PRSP build on and provide consistency with other current government processes and resulting documents that set forth national or sectoral development plans and budgets. It is, therefore, also important to build on existing strategies and plans, as far as possible, at the sectoral and national level. Existing national strategies, or national development plans that would have been prepared in any case, provided that these are consistent with the guiding principles of the PSRP approach, may be considered to be the PRSP, as is the case in Uganda with the Poverty Reduction Eradication Plan and Mozambique\u2019s Plano de Ac\u00e7\u00e3o para a Redu\u00e7\u00e3o da Pobreza Absoluta (PARPA) [English translation: Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty], which also predated the PRSP initiative. It is important that PRSPs reinforce, rather than compete with and undermine, existing democratic institutions and processes. Therefore, PRSPs are expected to be fully based on the formally approved policies and budgets of governments, and their preparation should follow appropriate domestic channels, complemented as appropriate with a greater degree of openness and transparency than may have otherwise been the case. There are important linkages between implementation of the strategy and the annual budget cycle, Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks where they exist, and the iterative process by which results from the preceding year and ongoing dialogue are fed into policy and program redesign and annual progress reports. It is important that the PRSP become institutionalized in domestic budget preparation and policy and program formulation practices. The PRSP will be the primary instrument by which a country articulates a strategy around which external development partners could align their own programs of support. Development partners should also be involved to ensure that the poverty strategy has a realistic chance of being funded.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
