A project of the Montenegro SDG Acceleration Fund, the key objective of the Optimizing Development Coordination: Advancing Planning and Reporting through Information System Enhancement is to provide initial technical assistance for the improved functioning and increased and more effective use of the ISPI by the General Secretariat of the Government and all relevant government institutions and departments.

ISPI is a software solution designed for public administrations, companies, and large organizations to streamline work processes and improve planning predictability. It provides an overview of strategic documents, objectives, activities, KPIs, and assigns responsibilities, while integrating with budgeting modules. Widely used in the EU, ISPI has been partially operational in Montenegro, aligning with national policy methodologies. ISPI also supports gender mainstreaming by tracking data on gender-responsive strategies and budgets. The intervention will assess its current use, identify best practices, gaps, and areas needing improvement, with a focus on better resource coordination and data analysis.
