A number of major channels will be examined. The first is the extent to which expenditure is well allocated across sectors, sub-sectors, expense categories, jurisdictions and geographic areas. The second is the extent to which there is scope for improving efficiency by enhancing the operational performance of state owned enterprises (SOEs), restoring adequate levels of maintenance, or improving the selection and implementation of investment projects. The third is the extent to which user charges are applied and set at levels consistent with cost recovery. The fourth is the extent to which private sector participation has been fully exploited as a vehicle for raising investment finance. While it is difficult to evaluate these things very precisely, a number of proxy indicators are used to shed light on the matter.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGAGGREGATE SPENDINGAIRAIR TRANSPORTAIRPORTAIRPORT OPERATORSAIRPORTSALLOCATION OF FUNDSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANNUAL REPORTSBUDGET ALLOCATIONSBUDGET COVERAGEBUDGET CYCLEBUDGET DEFICITSBUDGET ENVELOPEBUDGET ESTIMATESBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET FRAMEWORKBUDGETARY INCENTIVESCAPITAL BUDGETCAPITAL COSTSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL EXPENSESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL PROJECTSCAPITAL SPENDINGCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENT BUDGETCENTRAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURECENTRAL GOVERNMENT SPENDINGCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONTINGENT LIABILITIESCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECOST OF CAPITALCOST RECOVERYCURRENT EXPENDITURESDATA AVAILABILITYDATA COLLECTIONDATA COLLECTION EFFORTDATA COLLECTION PROCESSDEBTDUAL BUDGETINGDUE DILIGENCEECONOMIC CLASSIFICATIONECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY GAINSEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSEFFICIENCY OF INFRASTRUCTUREEFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC SPENDINGELECTRICITYEQUITY ANALYSISEVALUATION OF PROJECTSEVASIONEXPENDITURE CATEGORIESEXPENDITURE DATAEXPENDITURE LEVELSEXPENDITURE PROCESSEXPENDITURE TRACKINGEXPENDITURESEXPENSE CATEGORIESFINANCIAL CONDITIONSFINANCIAL CORPORATIONSFINANCIAL COSTSFINANCIAL PROGRAMMINGFINANCIAL PUBLIC CORPORATIONFINANCIAL PUBLIC CORPORATIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATISTICSFINANCIAL TERMSFISCAL ANALYSISFISCAL CONSTRAINTSFISCAL COSTSFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL ENVELOPEFISCAL STABILIZATIONFISCAL TRANSFERSFUELFUEL PRICEGOVERNMENT ACCOUNTSGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT FINANCEGOVERNMENT FINANCE STATISTICSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE EXPENDITUREINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE PERFORMANCEINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE SECTORINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURESINVESTMENT BUDGETLEVEL OF PUBLIC SPENDINGLEVELS OF EFFICIENCYLEVIESLOCAL GOVERNMENT SPENDINGLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOW INCOMEMAINTENANCE OF INFRASTRUCTUREMARKET PRICESMEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORKMINISTRY OF FINANCEMONETARY UNIONMULTIYEAR PROJECTSMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL RESOURCESOIL PRICESOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYOPERATIONAL INEFFICIENCIESOPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPOLICY DECISIONSPOPULATION DENSITYPRESENT VALUEPRIVATE FINANCEPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPROGRAMSPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC BUDGETSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE ANALYSISPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWSPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR BORROWINGPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC SUBSIDIESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC WORKSQUALITY OF PUBLIC SPENDINGRAILRAIL COMPANYRAIL SYSTEMSRAILWAYRAILWAYSRECURRENT EXPENDITURERESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONSRESOURCE AVAILABILITYREVENUE COLLECTIONROADROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD FUNDROAD FUNDSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD TRANSPORTROAD USERROAD USER CHARGESROADSROUTERURAL INFRASTRUCTURESALESSANITATIONSECTORAL ALLOCATIONSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSMALL MUNICIPALITIESSOCIAL BENEFITSSPENDING LEVELSSTABILIZATION PROGRAMSSTATE OWNED ENTERPRISESSUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTSTAXTAX REVENUESTELECOMMUNICATIONSTOLLTOLL ROADTOTAL PUBLIC SPENDINGTOTAL SPENDINGTRANSITTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SECTORUTILITIESVALUABLEVEHICLEWAGEWAGESWEALTHWorld Bank10.1596/7910
