Reallocating resources towards maintenance services, while encouraging outsourcing practices is another cross-cutting theme. Regarding equity, there is a need in all sectors to improve targeting mechanisms in the allocation of public subsidies.

Improving institutional capacity, governance, and accountability is also a precondition for higher efficiency and equity. One of the most important recommendations from the review is the need to pursue structural reforms to promote growth, while changing the focus of public expenditure management from driving growth to ensuring stabilization and an efficient supply of public goods. The role of public expenditure in the social sectors should be to guarantee necessary investments in human capital to support growth. 2015-11-06T15:24:02Z 2015-11-06T15:24:02Z 2002-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/10/1718699/algeria-public-expenditure-review-social-sector-vol-2-annexes http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22900 English en_US 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 Middle East and North Africa Algeria
