| Summary: | This note presents an overview of the
results of various background work undertaken as part of the
Technical Assistance for Public Expenditure Management
(TAPEM) provided to the Government by the World Bank. This
note focuses on the first pillar of the Economic Development
and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS): growth for jobs and
exports. As a result, technical efficiency issues covered in
this note focus on the education (skills development),
agriculture and infrastructure sectors. The note addresses
issues of both effectiveness and efficiency. Technical
issues are discussed in the context of sector specific
constraints and effectiveness is tied to broader issues
related to reducing inequality and improving the
distributional impact of public spending. The rest of the
note proceeds as follows: section three outlines the
macro-fiscal context and the key factors impacting on
sustained growth and poverty reduction. Section four
presents an overview of completed Public Financial
Management (PFM) reforms and identifies areas in need of
reform looking forward. Section five discusses issues
pertaining to efficiency in three key sectors linked to the
first pillar of the EDPRS (growth for jobs and exports):
education, agriculture and infrastructure. Section six
discusses the issue of evidence based planning and budgeting
and the role of institutionalized Public Expenditure Review (PERs). |
