About MDB Reform
MDB Reform is written by Parminder Brar, a former World Bank Lead Financial Management Specialist and Lead Governance Specialist with field postings in Liberia (2003–2008), Ethiopia (2011–2015), Nigeria (2019–2022), and Tanzania. He was a member of the original PEFA indicator design team. The platform draws on primary sources and two decades of direct field experience to make the case that the institutions we have are capable of doing substantially better — and that the people who depend on them most deserve nothing less.
