To help address these challenges the Ministry of Finance (MoF) requested analytical and advisory support from the World Bank. Such support was intended to identify spending pressures and potential efficiency and effectiveness gains in waste management.

A secondary objective is for this SR to help increase the transparency of spending on waste management, as information on spending categories by activity and municipality has not been analyzed until now. 2019-02-08T17:06:36Z 2019-02-08T17:06:36Z 2019-01-30 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/177091548920144916/Bulgaria-Spending-Review-Improving-Efficiency-and-Effectiveness-of-Waste-Management-Spending http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31244 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Public Expenditure Review Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Bulgaria
