| Summary: | The Public Expenditure Review (PER) in
Benin is considered an integral component of the structural
adjustment program. The process is multi-year and
multi-sectoral, in order to allow the government to
thoroughly analyze every sector's expenditures for
consistency with its corresponding sector strategy and the
general macroeconomic framework. Four main issues were
addressed: a) the role of the state vis-a-vis the private
sector; b) the efficiency of expenditures as measured by
results achieved and their coherence with the sector
strategy targets; c) the equity of expenditures measured by
their contribution to promote more equal distribution of
revenues and welfare; and d) budgetary procedures and
institutional arrangements. |
