Abstract
This study examines Public Expenditure
Tracking Survey (PETS) and Quantitative Service Delivery
Survey (QSDS) carried out in Africa with the objective of
assessing their approaches, main findings, and
contributions. Section 2 investigates the context,
motivations, and objectives of PETS and QSDS that have been
carried out in Sub-Saharan Africa. Section 3 examines the
institutional arrangements for resource allocation and
service delivery in social sectors. Section 4 presents some
of the main findings of tracking surveys. Section 5 analyzes
methodological approaches used in previous tracking surveys
in order to identify factors that could explain the
difference in past surveys' success, and identify
potential methodological harmonization. Section 6 presents a
series of good practice principles that arise from past
experience, and discusses how they could be implemented.
Section 7 proposes potential future surveys and endeavors.
