Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys
(PETS) can serve as a powerful tool to inform prevailing
public financial management (PFM) practices and the extent
to which government budgets link to execution and desired
service delivery objectives and beneficiaries. Since the
first PETS in Uganda in 1996, tracking exercises have now
been conducted in over two dozen other countries, often as
part of core analytical and advisory work related to PFM.
This note synthesizes the findings and lessons from a number
of recent PETS stocktaking exercises and indicates their
potential benefits for enriching PFM and sectoral policy
dialogues in a variety of country settings. Key findings
include: (i) PETS have proven to be useful as part of a
broader policy strategy aimed at improving service delivery
results; (ii) PETS has become a brand name for very
different instruments, but at its core there is a survey
methodology that requires skilled technical expertise and a
solid knowledge of budget execution processes; (iii) policy
impact in a variety of PETS experiences could be further
strengthened by stronger country ownership and effective
follow-up; and (iv) the Bank could enhance PETS results
through strategic partnering, and greater emphasis on
dissemination and communication strategies aimed at
involving actors who can foster actions on the ground. |
