| Summary: | This Public Expenditure Review is
focused on the quality and sustainability of public
spending. The key objective of this Public Expenditure
Review (PER) is to assess the quality of public spending, by
evaluating its efficiency and effectiveness, while also
delving into sustainability considerations, by gauging
domestic revenue mobilization and the fiscal implications of
current spending levels. This work aims to strengthen the
evidence base for decision-making on public expenditure and
revenue management. Its scope does not include a strong
focus on equity, owing to the lack of a recent household
survey, the last survey of livings standards was conducted
in 2014. Nonetheless, equity dimensions are considered
whenever possible and relevant evidence is mentioned.
Overall, the analysis underscores the need for prioritizing
and improving the quality of public investments,
rationalizing undue recurrent spending and enhancing revenue collection. |
