Summary: | This Public Expenditure Review (PER) for
FY00, provided support to the Government of Tanzania in the
preparation of its budget, and Medium Term Expenditure
Framework (MTEF), and performed as well an external
evaluation of the country's budget performance. The
report contains two volumes, the Main Report (v. I) first
describes the main features of the PER process, to then
present the main findings emerging from a review of fiscal
performance, and public expenditure management in Tanzania.
A discussion of systemic fiscal issues, critical to
enhancing the effectiveness of public expenditure follows,
to reach a series of updated sectoral expenditure reviews,
prioritizing on education, health, water, agriculture,
works, land and justice. Volume II, presents the
Government's MTEF for FY-01/03, in which the
macroeconomic context is described, providing a cross
sectoral MTEF within the priority sectors. In addition, a
detailed discussion of the public sector reform program is
presented, including discussions on the HIV/AIDS epidemic,
identified as a key challenge to development efforts,
requiring a multi-sectoral approach to contain its spread.
Despite progress in consolidating the budget process, and
macroeconomic policy, the transitional status of the
country's economy, makes macroeconomic management
particularly difficult. The report suggests rethinking the
MTEF's contingency plans, within a flexible framework
to further improve the linkages between prioritization, and
the budgetary process. |
