The 2012 Public Expenditure Review (PER) is the first in a planned series of annual PERs (APERs). The objective of APERs is to provide decision makers in the Nigerien government, domestic stakeholders, as well as Niger's development partners with regular information and analysis on budgetary developments. The APER process aims to meet information requirements of interested stakeholders while minimizing the transaction cost for government. In the absence of a regularly published APER, the authorities are confronted with frequent and often duplicative requests for information, which claim significant staff time in an already very capacity constrained public sector environment. It is envisaged that a "one assessment - one process" approach will help to reduce transaction costs for government while meeting information requirements of interested stakeholders. The APERs will consist of three main parts. The first part will monitor public expenditure performance and the implementation of public financial management reforms. The second part will focus on sectoral public expenditure issues, and the third part will analyze selected public expenditure issues in detail. In the context of the annual PER process, every second year a public expenditure and financial accountability (PEFA) will be carried out. Public expenditure management reform action plan has been adopted in 2012 and provides a road map for reforms and helps coordinate donor support in this area. The Bank is supporting the strengthening of public financial management systems through a technical assistance grant. This PER covers the following topics: introduction in the first chapter. The review's macroeconomic context in the second chapter, an assessment of public expenditure trends and composition in the third chapter, and a review of the volume, modalities, and allocation of official development assistance in the fourth chapter. Public expenditure developments in the health, education, and rural development sectors are reviewed in the fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters, respectively. At the end, chapter eight focuses on strengthening Niger's public expenditure review process. 2014-01-29T22:28:51Z 2014-01-29T22:28:51Z 2013-12-27 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/12/18836366/niger-public-expenditure-review-2012 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16701 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Public Expenditure Review Economic & Sector Work Africa Niger |

The Government's Plan for Economic
and Social Development (PESD) 2012-2015 outlines an
ambitious public expenditure program to foster sustainable
inclusive growth and to improve public service delivery. The
2012 Public Expenditure Review (PER) is the first in a
planned series of annual PERs (APERs). The objective of
APERs is to provide decision makers in the Nigerien
government, domestic stakeholders, as well as Niger's
development partners with regular information and analysis
on budgetary developments. The APER process aims to meet
information requirements of interested stakeholders while
minimizing the transaction cost for government. In the
absence of a regularly published APER, the authorities are
confronted with frequent and often duplicative requests for
information, which claim significant staff time in an
already very capacity constrained public sector environment.
It is envisaged that a "one assessment - one
process" approach will help to reduce transaction costs
for government while meeting information requirements of
interested stakeholders. The APERs will consist of three
main parts. The first part will monitor public expenditure
performance and the implementation of public financial
management reforms. The second part will focus on sectoral
public expenditure issues, and the third part will analyze
selected public expenditure issues in detail. In the context
of the annual PER process, every second year a public
expenditure and financial accountability (PEFA) will be
carried out. Public expenditure management reform action
plan has been adopted in 2012 and provides a road map for
reforms and helps coordinate donor support in this area. The
Bank is supporting the strengthening of public financial
management systems through a technical assistance grant.
This PER covers the following topics: introduction in the
first chapter. The review's macroeconomic context in
the second chapter, an assessment of public expenditure
trends and composition in the third chapter, and a review of
the volume, modalities, and allocation of official
development assistance in the fourth chapter. Public
expenditure developments in the health, education, and rural
development sectors are reviewed in the fifth, sixth, and
seventh chapters, respectively. At the end, chapter eight
focuses on strengthening Niger's public expenditure
review process. |
