| description |
This paper synthesizes the findings from
a series of case studies on the interaction between the PRSP
process and the budget. The five studies, Bolivia, Burkina
Faso, Cambodia, Tanzania and Vietnam aim to assess the
extent to which public finance management and budget
allocations reflect the principles and content of the
Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper PRSP, hence providing
insights into progress in PRS implementation. The cases also
shed light on whether the PRSP process itself has fostered
more accountable, efficient and pro-poor budget processes
and allocations as of 2003.The PRSP process, with its focus
on data and information for evidence-based policy-making,
open and participatory policy-making processes, poverty
results and country-led donor coordination, alignment and
harmonization has the potential to significantly improve the
pro-poor focus and general accountability of budgeting
processes.The cases confront a number of methodological
challenges. First, in some countries and sectors, lack of
appropriate data constrained the extent to which the
research questions could be fully answered. Second, the PRSP
remains a relatively recent innovation in all the countries
studied and we recognize that many of our findings are
preliminary, and require additional confirmation over time.
Third, any assessment of the value added of the PRSP
approach needs to be cognizant of the initial conditions in
country, both to avoid ascribing successes to the PRSP which
pre-date its existence, and to temper expectations about
what the approach can deliver in a relatively short space of
time given the starting point of each country. To address
this last challenge, the case studies explicitly acknowledge
the pre-existing situation in-country and try to assess the
value added of the PRSP process.The four countries studied
have a number of common features.Finally, and perhaps most
importantly, all five countries share a high-level political
commitment to addressing poverty, although the extent to
which this commitment permeates throughout government
agencies varies from country to country.The five countries,
however, also display many distinctive features. Bolivia and
Cambodia, for example, both suffer from high degrees of
political fragmentation, which in Bolivia has manifested
itself as civil unrest on a number of occasions in the last
two years. Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and Vietnam, on the other
hand, benefit from more stable political systems and an
inherited commitment to pro-poor policies from socialist governments. |
