Abstract
One of the World Bank's key
advisory roles is to assist its partner countries to make
strategic decisions about the use of their public funds.
Governments and the Bank together assess the public
sector's potential role as a provider, financier, or
regulator of services, or simply as a catalyst for private
sector activity. The Bank's traditional vehicle for
contributing to this kind of analytical work is the Public
Expenditure Review (PER). The Africa Region undertook a
survey of 20 task managers of PERs in 1997/98. This Note
summarizes the main survey findings and key recommendations.
