| Summary: | The main purpose of this Guiding
Framework document is to present the key elements of a
Nutrition Public Expenditure Review (NPER) and offer
guidance, practical steps, and examples on carrying out an
NPER. It targets a wide-ranging audience, including country
nutrition policy makers, development partners (DPs),
government technical staff, and advocates and practitioners
who are tasked with carrying out NPERs (who are also the
main target audience). The Guiding Framework draws upon good
practices from the growing body of NPERs as well as common
practices and expertise from Public Expenditure Reviews
(PERs). However, given the limited number of existing NPERs,
this document should be considered as a starting point, or a
‘living document,’ and is not meant to provide a
comprehensive coverage of a standard methodology for NPERs,
as this would require further work and analysis.
Specifically, this Guiding Framework aims to be a useful
tool for practitioners involved in developing an NPER. It
does this by: (i) situating NPERs within the context of
other similar efforts such as a nutrition budget analysis or
sector-specific PERs; (ii) presenting the literature of
existing NPERs and related literature to serve as reference;
(iii) providing guidance on preparatory work before
beginning an NPER (i.e., defining the scope, setting up an
NPER team, and identifying data sources); (iv) providing
guidance on conducting the core analysis (i.e.,framing the
analysis, analyzing the institutional framework, and linking
the analysis to the policy dialogue); and (v) clearly
identifying knowledge gaps and necessary additional work to
enhance the robustness of future NPER analysis. |
