A Cabinet committee has reviewed the progress of the Government Performance Monitoring System (GPMS) and discussed plans to improve its implementation across ministries and government offices.

The meeting was held at the Ministry of Home Affairs at the Bangladesh Secretariat in Dhaka on Sunday, according to a press release.

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, chairman of the Cabinet Committee formed to oversee GPMS implementation, presided over the meeting.

Committee members Md Ismail Zabihullah, Prime Minister’s Adviser to the Ministry of Public Administration, and Md Abdul Bari, State Minister for Public Administration and Food, attended the meeting.

Cabinet Secretary Nasimul Ghani, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister A B M Abdus Sattar, Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs Manzur Morshed Chowdhury, and senior secretaries and secretaries from different ministries and divisions were also present.

The participants held detailed discussions on the overall progress of GPMS and strategies for its future implementation.

The committee reviewed the GPMS framework for the 2026-27 fiscal year across different ministries and divisions.

It also examined the overall evaluation report on the system’s implementation during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The meeting placed special emphasis on establishing good governance in government offices and preparing time-bound plans in line with government policies.

It also highlighted the need for effective monitoring and evaluation to ensure that government offices achieve their assigned targets.

Following the discussions, the committee decided to form a separate committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary.
