Summary: | Mexico, like other Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) governments, is committed to
improving the performance of the public sector. An important
first step is to gather objective information that enables
governments to measure progress towards achieving their
policy and program goals. As well as potentially improving
decision making by politicians and civil servants provided
with higher quality information on the performance of
departments/agencies and programs, this information can
enhance transparency and accountability to the public and
the legislature. The Government of Mexico (GoM)'s new
results-based budgeting initiative is anchored in a new
legal framework, establishing the Performance Evaluation
System or Sistema de Evaluacion del Desempeno (SED) that
will provide data on the performance of publicly-financed
programs and organizations as inputs to the budget cycle.
These performance data include consolidated data from
program evaluations or other sources on the outputs and
impact/effectiveness of public expenditures; and data on the
quality of public management, which is the focus of a new
Management Improvement Program. |
