Abstract
An accurate estimate of public
expenditure flows must start from the distribution and
recording systems which would permit accurate tracking.
While the strategies to improve these systems in Ghana are
beyond the scope of this study, it presents here the
problems encountered while trying to track public
expenditures. Hopefully, this will provide an entry point
for relevant parties to discuss the best ways to increase
the efficiency of public expenditure distribution. Estimated
resource flows are also presented. Although the accuracy of
estimates is not claimed in absolute terms, the patterns of
the public expenditure distribution revealed by these
estimates were consistent with the perceptions of district
level education and health officers, to whom these results
were presented at a workshop in Ghana.
