Summary: | This public expenditure review (PER
2013) is prepared in response to a request by the Government
of Malawi (GOM). It is aligned with the fifth country
assistance strategy (CAS) FY2013-FY16. The PER offers
policies to improve public expenditure efficiency defined in
the context of Malawi as delivering similar or improved
level and quality of government services with constrained
overall resource envelope as described in the new GOM fiscal
framework. The PER has four main objectives. First, it
supports the government to enhance the quality and
efficiency of public financial management and provide inputs
to the preparation of its budget. Second, it complements the
on-going public finance and economic management (PFEM)
reforms. Third, it provides development partners in Malawi
with analytical inputs into their operations. Fourth, the
PER is expected to become a crucial component of the
implementation of the fiscal framework, underpinning the new
extended credit facility (ECF) agreed with the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) in July 2012. The PER 2013 consists of
seven chapters. The first two chapters focus on the overall
macro-fiscal framework, planning, and budgeting processes.
Chapters 3 to 7 analyze the allocative, technical
efficiency, and equity of sectoral public expenditures in
agriculture, transport, education, health, and social
protection respectively. |
