The Government suggested reviewing public expenditures at the regional level, starting with three regions. This public expenditure review (PER) marks the first explicit attempt at Regional PERs. This integrated report draws on draft reports from the January-April 2000 mission as well as from a workshop held in Addis Ababa during September 17-18, 2001. The theme amd the focus topics for this PER emerged out of consultations between the Ethiopian governmentand a core donor group at a workshop in Brussels organized by the European Commission in November 2000. This PER is set on three premises: 1) It is thematically set in the context of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries document; 2) It focuses on getting a better understanding of the budgetary institutions, systems and processes at the regional level; and 3) the PER analysis and recommendations are intended to harmonize with the sequence and pace of the Government of Ethiopia's Expenditure Management and Control Program.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGAUTHORITYBLOCK GRANTSBUDGETARY INSTITUTIONSCADRESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL PROJECTSCDFCONCESSIONAL LOANSCONSENSUSCONSTITUTIONCONSULTATION PROCESSCOUNCILSCURRENCY UNITDEBTDEBT RELIEFDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION-MAKERSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDONOR COMMUNITYDONOR RESOURCESECONOMIC CONTEXTECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEFFECTIVE USEEXECUTIONEXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITIESEXPENDITURE SURVEYFEDERAL GOVERNMENTFEDERALISMFEDERATIONSFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL POLICIESFISCALFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL FEDERALISMFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL PERFORMANCEFISCAL POLICYFISCAL SITUATIONFISCAL STANCEFOREIGN ASSISTANCEFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVESGNPGOVERNMENT FINANCEGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT'S DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SURVEYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN RIGHTSIMPORTSINCREASED DEMANDINFLATIONJUDICIARYLONG TERMMACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCEMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMEMBERS OF PARLIAMENTMINISTRIES OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF FINANCEMONITORING SYSTEMNATIONSNATURAL RESOURCESOILPARTICIPATORY POVERTYPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY MEASURESPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL CONTEXTPOOR COUNTRIESPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY FOCUSPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTORSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYPUBLIC SPENDINGRADICALISMREGIONAL PLANNINGREHABILITATIONRELATIVE IMPORTANCEREPRESENTATIVESRESEARCH INSTITUTERESOURCE ALLOCATIONREVENUE PERFORMANCEROADSRURAL APPRAISALSAVINGSSECTOR MINISTRIESSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE QUALITYSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SECTOR EXPENDITURESSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSTRUCTURAL REFORMSTASK TEAM LEADERTAXTAX POLICYTAX REFORMTAX REVENUETEAM MEMBERSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERMS OF TRADEWATER RESOURCES PUBLIC EXPENDITURESFISCAL ADMINISTRATIONFISCAL SUSTAINABILITYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESHEAVILY INDEBTED POOR COUNTRIESBUDGETARY PROCESSFISCAL FEDERALISMTAX POLICYREGIONAL PLANNINGFISCAL FEDERALISMDISBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENTSGOVERNMENT SPENDING POLICYEXPENDITURE PATTERNSEXPENDITURE ANALYSISCAPACITY BUILDINGREGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POVERTYREGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTREGIONAL POVERTYREGIONAL TARGETINGWorld Bank10.1596/15429
