National Public Projects Implementation System (NPPIS)

I would like to know the key elements to be considered when designing a project to be implemented at that level. I accept any ideas.
According to Stanislaw Gasik in his book "National Public Projects Implementation Systems: How to Improve public projects delivery from the country level", a National Public Projects Implementation System (NPPIS) is the whole environment of public projects implementation in a given country. It may be perceived as an extension of the concept of Project Management Office for the country level. It consists of six basic areas:

1. The PUBLIC PROJECTS PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AREA is responsible for selecting, initiating and modifying the set of public projects in a given country.
2. The ORGANIZATIONAL UNITS AREA covers units engaged in implementing public project. It ranges from single PM agents through national level PMOs to advisory boards responsible for overseeing and improving the whole systems of public projects implementation.
3. The PROCESSES AND METHODOLOGIES AREA covers processes related to project management in given country. Its main components are processes of project implementation and processes for project assurance and governance.
4. The KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AREA is responsible for providing knowledge to public projects actors (trainings, knowledge exchange etc.) and for knowledge exchange with project stakeholders (e.g. communities of citizens).
5. ACTORS AREA: Public projects are implemented by their actors: the most important of them are project managers and vendors. The approach to managing them is covered by the Actors area.
6. The AREA OF DEVELOPMENT of the public projects implementation. It may range from establishing an NPPIS in countries where there is no such system to sophisticated NPPIS improvement processes.

Here in Burkina Faso, we focus on:
1. The regulation of projects and programs.
2. The project must be in line with the national development benchmark.
3. The relevance of the projects.
4. The mitigation of the various risks.

Has someone been a part of designing and/or working in the implementation of such development project system at the country level?

	A Conceptual Model of National Public Projects Implementation Systems Though this paper (see the reference website) is not a case study on direct implementation, it covers different concepts as you highlighted in your post. The following are its sub topics: Public Projects Governance Territory Execution Territory Portfolio Management Project Management Actors Management Stakeholders Management Development Territory Conclusions Reference: Stanisław Gasik, "A Conceptual Model of National Public Projects Implementation Systems

	NPPIS Turned to Governmental Project Implementation System (GPIS) Thank you for your posts on my works. Excuse me for answering so late, but I have only recently joined 12manage. In the meantime I have slightly changed the approach and recently call it "Governmental" - and not "National Public" Project Implementation System. A nation may be dispersed over several countries under different governments. And just government is an executive body which may act in any area, like project implementation. You may read more here. GPIS is more than a Project Management Office (PMO). A PMO is just one component of GPIS. PMO may be an executive unit of GPIS, but the most important decisions should be made by government-level politicians. For instance, in the process of governance, a national audit chamber may and should be included. Laws should be enacted by parliament. First, appropriate political body must define a policy in this area. I am very much interested in progress in the implementation of a government-level solution in Burkina Faso.
