Abstract
This report concerns about policy
briefing and outlines the main findings and policy options
associated with the analysis of public spending in terms of
equity and allocative efficiency. This Public Expenditure
Review (PER) covers the sectors of Education, Health,
Agriculture, and the area of decentralization. The main
objective of this Public Expenditure Review is to examine
the allocative efficiency and equity of public spending in
Angola. Five cross-cutting messages are drawn from the
analysis of public spending and fiscal management in the
context of this Public Expenditure Review: (i) the need to
prepare public spending plans within a multiyear
perspective; (ii) the need to improve the efficiency of
public spending; (iii) the need to improve the quality of
the data on social indicators and on the budget; (iv) the
need to observe equity considerations in the preparation of
the budget ; and (v) the need for steady progress with
decentralization. The first volume, a policy briefing,
outlines the main findings and policy options associated
with the analysis of public spending in terms of equity and
allocative efficiency. The second volume presents a fuller
assessment of each sector and on decentralization
