Abstract
Cambodia has made substantial progress in economic reconstruction since the 1993 elections helped return peace to the war ravaged country. The report is organized as: the remainder of chapter one presents the strategic background, including macroeconomic and fiscal developments. The chapter concludes with options for restoring and expanding the government's fiscal space. Chapter two discusses the level and composition of public spending. Chapters three, four and five discuss the level, composition and effectiveness of government spending on agriculture, health, and education, respectively. The analysis suggests that government spending in these areas is lower relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) than in countries with similar levels of income per capita. Chapter six discusses Cambodia's progress and challenges in reforming public expenditure policy and public finances. The chapter underscores the key areas where additional attention is needed to help advance the reform agenda.

Publication Cambodia - Enhancing Service Delivery through Improved Resource Allocation and Institutional Reform : Integrated Fiduciary Assessment and Public Expenditure Review(Washington, DC, 2003-09-08)Since 1999 Cambodia has made significant headway in reforming public expenditure policy and management, yet in order to implement its development agenda, Cambodia will have to make much more progress on four principal fiscal, fiduciary, and institutional challenges. First, Cambodia will have to improve resource mobilization to ensure aggregate fiscal sustainability. Second, to reduce the fiduciary risk to public funds, the Government will have to engage in comprehensive reform o f budget execution, cash management, and public financial control systems. Third, the Government will have to rationalize public expenditure policy and management further to carry out both its Second Socioeconomic Development Plan (SEDP) and its National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NF'RS). Last, Cambodia will have need to undertake comprehensive civil service reform-focusing on pay and employment issues-in order to deliver poverty-reducing services. The following sections elaborate on these four core challenges and provide an outline of proposed solutions.Publication Vietnam : Managing Public Expenditure for Poverty Reduction and Growth, Public Expenditure Review and Integrated Fiduciary Assessment, Volume 1, Cross Sectoral Issues(Washington, DC, 2005-04)This Public Expenditure Review and Integrated Fiduciary Assessment (PER-FA) reviews and assesses the contribution that public expenditure has made to poverty reduction, and growth in Vietnam in recent years, and, identifies priorities and actions for strengthening that contribution over the coming years, through better resource allocation, and better public expenditure management. Fiscal trends have been positive, both in terms of revenue collection and expenditure outturns, resulting in a sustainable fiscal balance. Nevertheless, a number of threats to fiscal sustainability exist, and require attention over the coming years. The Government should restrict further off-budget bond issuance, channeling all Government borrowing through the budget. It should take urgent action to resolve the current expenditure arrears, largely associated with public investment in the transport and agriculture sectors-and prevent their further build up. It should strengthen arrangements for the monitoring, and management of fiscal risk, initially with better recording of domestic debt and credit, through the Development Assistance Fund (DAF). It should rapidly implement the plan to prepare a realistic and sustainable Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) as part of every budget cycle. On reviewing the composition of public expenditure, the report states that the shares in total capital spending and total aggregate expenditure of Education and Training, and of Science and Technology, have increased significantly over the review period. Successful efforts have been made to make the transfer of resources between provinces more pro-poor, resulting in an inter-provincial transfer and revenue sharing formula, which indeed benefits poorer provinces. However, non-wage operations and maintenance expenditure fell to by 2002, while the share of capital expenditure (including major repairs) increased somehow. It is necessary to take urgent action to address an imminent maintenance crisis, and strike a balance between capital and recurrent spending. Moreover, regarding institutional aspects, further reforms are required. Efforts are required to strengthen joint working between the Finance and Planning functions at every level. The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) should collaborate actively with sector ministries, and provinces in the preparation of Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks (MTEFs), building on the experience, and success of sectoral pilots. Additionally, the Government should further rationalize the roles and responsibilities of the audit and inspection functions, while appropriate monitoring measures should be implemented to ensure that fiscal transparency and reporting regulations are properly implemented at all levels of government, and by all spending units. Increased delegation to spending units is one of the key developments in public expenditure management in Vietnam in recent years. However, such delegation needs to be managed carefully if it is to result in better service delivery, and if it is to support, rather than jeopardize, equity and poverty reduction. Finally, public investment management is a critical part of public expenditure management; in Vietnam, it is particularly critical to the extent that State Budget-financed investment has grown rapidly, and now constitutes about 40 percent of the total State Budget. Analysis of recurrent costs should be built in to investment selection, and the MTEF approach should be used as a way of balancing and ensuring consistency between recurrent and capital costs.Publication The Republic of Uganda : Country Integrated Fiduciary Assessment 2004, Volume 2. Public Expenditure Review 2004 - Promoting the Efficient Use of Public Resources for Poverty Eradication(Washington, DC, 2004-06-15)The Uganda Country Integrated Fiduciary Assessment (CIFA) consolidates (in five volumes) the results, and recommendations of various diagnostic processes, including the Public Expenditure Review (PER), the Country Financial Accountability Assessment (CFAA), the Country Procurement Assessment report (CPAR), the Tracking Poverty, Reducing Spending Assessment, and the Local Government Integrated Fiduciary Assessment (LGIFA). This integrated approach is designed to address comprehensively the budgetary, financial accountability, and transparency challenges that Uganda is facing. CIFA marks a first step toward adopting a single standard assessment of Uganda's public financial management (PFM) systems for all levels of government. The report provides the Government of Uganda (GoU), its development partners (DPs), and other stakeholders with a candid review of the public sector challenges, and an assessment of the key fiduciary risks, and opportunities for corrupt practices. Fiduciary risk is defined as the risk that expenditure is not properly accounted for, that it is not used for its intended purposes, and that it does not represent value for money (VFM). The assessment shows that in the last four years the GoU has made significant progress in strengthening, and updating the legal framework, and regulatory environment for PFM, thus reducing the risk associated with a lack of clear rules and regulations. In addition, the GoU has reduced the fiduciary risks associated with poor budget formulation, and preparation through the PER process. The quality of information provided in the annual accounts also has improved. Notwithstanding, there remains high fiduciary risk, associated with: the enforcement of procurement, and payroll rules and procedures; the incompleteness of data on debt and contingent liabilities; weak independent oversight; and, the timeliness and effectiveness of legislative and public scrutiny. The Local Government Integrated Fiduciary Assessment (LGIFA) highlights the considerable progress made over the last decade in providing services at the local level; from this base, however, it notes with concern that the budgeting and planning processes at LGs are poor at articulating specific local needs within overall national objectives, and policies. The assessment also raises concerns over the ability, desire, and willingness of local residents, and politicians to hold their administrations to account for their performance.Publication Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe : Country Integrated Fiduciary Assessment, Volume 2. Public Expenditure Review(Washington, DC, 2007-06)This Integrated Fiduciary Assessment is the first of its kind for Sao Tome and Principe. It combines the analysis and policy recommendations from a public expenditure review (PER), a country financial accountability assessment (CFAA), and a country procurement assessment review (CPAR). The goal of the report is to identify the major challenges facing the country in the prepetroleum era (the next three to five years) in public finance management (including public enterprises) as it attempts to implement its National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NPRS) with a tight resource envelope. This executive summary presents recent economic developments and fiscal sustainability analysis that takes into account petroleum and no-petroleum scenarios, with corresponding analysis on which of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are reachable. The summary reports on revenue and expenditure performance since 2000-01, issues related to the implementation of the public investment program (PIP) and its coordination with the NPRS, and the budget process, including findings from the Health PER, which highlights a lack of allocative efficiency. The summary reports on the financial fragility of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and the possible fiscal consequences for the central budget, especially regarding the implicit subsidies and tax breaks to (and the hypothetical tariff increases of) the electricity and water company. The summary of reports on the status of the public finance management system (budget preparation, execution, control, governance, and human resources) and the reform process that may address many of the concerns it rises. Finally, the summary presents the findings related to the procurement process, including the legislative and regulatory framework, institutional framework and management capacity, procurement operations and market practices, and integrity and transparency of the system.Publication Lao PDR : Public Expenditure Review Integrated Fiduciary Assessment(Washington, DC, 2007-05-15)The key challenge of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is to make full use of both physical and human assets to accelerate growth and improve the living standards of the population. To achieve the country's development goals, laid out in the sixth National Socioeconomic Development Plan (NSEDP) and the National Growth and Poverty Eradication Strategy (NGPES), improvements in public financial management and public expenditure policy aimed at increased efficiency, equity, and accountability - will be critical. This report assesses the current situation and provides a way forward. The report looks at public expenditure in the agriculture, roads, education, health, and environment sectors.

Publication Morocco Economic Update, Winter 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-03)Despite the drought causing a modest deceleration of overall GDP growth to 3.2 percent, the Moroccan economy has exhibited some encouraging trends in 2024. Non-agricultural growth has accelerated to an estimated 3.8 percent, driven by a revitalized industrial sector and a rebound in gross capital formation. Inflation has dropped below 1 percent, allowing Bank al-Maghrib to begin easing its monetary policy. While rural labor markets remain depressed, the economy has added close to 162,000 jobs in urban areas. Morocco’s external position remains strong overall, with a moderate current account deficit largely financed by growing foreign direct investment inflows, underpinned by solid investor confidence indicators. Despite significant spending pressures, the debt-to-GDP ratio is slowly declining.Publication World Development Report 2006(Washington, DC, 2005)This year’s Word Development Report (WDR), the twenty-eighth, looks at the role of equity in the development process. It defines equity in terms of two basic principles. The first is equal opportunities: that a person’s chances in life should be determined by his or her talents and efforts, rather than by pre-determined circumstances such as race, gender, social or family background. The second principle is the avoidance of extreme deprivation in outcomes, particularly in health, education and consumption levels. This principle thus includes the objective of poverty reduction. The report’s main message is that, in the long run, the pursuit of equity and the pursuit of economic prosperity are complementary. In addition to detailed chapters exploring these and related issues, the Report contains selected data from the World Development Indicators 2005‹an appendix of economic and social data for over 200 countries. This Report offers practical insights for policymakers, executives, scholars, and all those with an interest in economic development.Publication Argentina Country Climate and Development Report(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2022-11)The Argentina Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) explores opportunities and identifies trade-offs for aligning Argentina’s growth and poverty reduction policies with its commitments on, and its ability to withstand, climate change. It assesses how the country can: reduce its vulnerability to climate shocks through targeted public and private investments and adequation of social protection. The report also shows how Argentina can seize the benefits of a global decarbonization path to sustain a more robust economic growth through further development of Argentina’s potential for renewable energy, energy efficiency actions, the lithium value chain, as well as climate-smart agriculture (and land use) options. Given Argentina’s context, this CCDR focuses on win-win policies and investments, which have large co-benefits or can contribute to raising the country’s growth while helping to adapt the economy, also considering how human capital actions can accompany a just transition.Publication Lebanon Economic Monitor, Fall 2022(Washington, DC, 2022-11)The economy continues to contract, albeit at a somewhat slower pace. Public finances improved in 2021, but only because spending collapsed faster than revenue generation. Testament to the continued atrophy of Lebanon’s economy, the Lebanese Pound continues to depreciate sharply. The sharp deterioration in the currency continues to drive surging inflation, in triple digits since July 2020, impacting the poor and vulnerable the most. An unprecedented institutional vacuum will likely further delay any agreement on crisis resolution and much needed reforms; this includes prior actions as part of the April 2022 International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff-level agreement (SLA). Divergent views among key stakeholders on how to distribute the financial losses remains the main bottleneck for reaching an agreement on a comprehensive reform agenda. Lebanon needs to urgently adopt a domestic, equitable, and comprehensive solution that is predicated on: (i) addressing upfront the balance sheet impairments, (ii) restoring liquidity, and (iii) adhering to sound global practices of bail-in solutions based on a hierarchy of creditors (starting with banks’ shareholders) that protects small depositors.Publication Classroom Assessment to Support Foundational Literacy(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-03-21)This document focuses primarily on how classroom assessment activities can measure students’ literacy skills as they progress along a learning trajectory towards reading fluently and with comprehension by the end of primary school grades. The document addresses considerations regarding the design and implementation of early grade reading classroom assessment, provides examples of assessment activities from a variety of countries and contexts, and discusses the importance of incorporating classroom assessment practices into teacher training and professional development opportunities for teachers. The structure of the document is as follows. The first section presents definitions and addresses basic questions on classroom assessment. Section 2 covers the intersection between assessment and early grade reading by discussing how learning assessment can measure early grade reading skills following the reading learning trajectory. Section 3 compares some of the most common early grade literacy assessment tools with respect to the early grade reading skills and developmental phases. Section 4 of the document addresses teacher training considerations in developing, scoring, and using early grade reading assessment. Additional issues in assessing reading skills in the classroom and using assessment results to improve teaching and learning are reviewed in section 5. Throughout the document, country cases are presented to demonstrate how assessment activities can be implemented in the classroom in different contexts.
