Public Expenditure Reviews

The discipline that separates fundable strategies from wish lists.

THE CHALLENGE

Governments spend large sums without a clear view of whether that spending is allocated to the right priorities, executed efficiently, or delivering value. Without periodic, rigorous review, misallocation and inefficiency compound year after year.

OUR APPROACH

We conduct public expenditure reviews, full and rapid (PER-Lite), that analyse the level, composition, efficiency, and equity of public spending in a sector or jurisdiction. We benchmark allocations against need and against peers, identify inefficiencies and leakages, and recommend reallocations that improve value for money.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Full and rapid public expenditure reviews ·
Allocative and technical efficiency analysis ·
Equity and benefit-incidence analysis ·
Value-for-money diagnostics and reallocation options ·

TYPICAL OUTPUTS

Public expenditure review reports, efficiency analyses, and reallocation recommendations with quantified impact.

WHY IT MATTERS

A public expenditure review is how a government learns whether its money is buying the results it intends, and where it can do better without spending more.
