| Summary: | The book identifies four categories of
performance budgeting, namely direct performance budgeting,
performance informed budget (PIB), opportunistic performance
budgeting and presentational performance budgeting. While
the Conference papers often refer to performance budgeting
broadly defined, much of the book focuses on PIB, the most
common category of performance budgeting adopted to date,
making the argument that this is likely to be the most
applicable in many Latin American countries. The book
combines two seemingly diverse governance topics, adopts
contrasting analytic styles to address these, and seeks to
draw out their inter-connections, with particular reference
to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) and Latin American countries. The first topic is PIB,
which is discussed largely from the practical perspective of
policy makers and practitioners, reflecting that it is a
major public administration reform that has been underway
for several decades. The second topic is the trust of
citizens and firms in government. This book is divided into
seven chapters. Chapter one provides an overview of PIB,
building on two decades of experience and lesson-learning,
and sets out the key themes that provide the basis for the
discussions in the subsequent chapters. Chapter two
introduces the concept of trust in government, particularly
in OECD and Latin American countries, and explores why this
matters for development. Chapters three, four, and five
explore key dimensions of PIB, including the institutional
foundations, the production of performance information, and
the uses of performance information. Chapter six considers
the impact of performance improvement on trust in government
in OECD and Latin American countries. Chapter seven provides
a guide for practitioners on PIB. |
