| Summary: | The World Bank has been collaborating
with parliamentary finance, budget, and public accounts
committees in the Western Balkans as part of a knowledge
partnership focusing on strengthening financial oversight
practices. Many parliaments recognize the critical role they
play approving the budget and ensuring it achieves its
stated goals in an efficient and effective manner consistent
with parliament’s appropriations. A gap persists between the
international standards that touch upon the role of the
parliament in the budget process - which have been developed
by the global public finance community - and parliamentary
assessment frameworks that speak to the performance of
parliament, generally. The World Bank used international
financial management standards and parliamentary assessment
frameworks as the starting point for a multi-year initiative
aimed at distilling and building consensus around financial
oversight practices, reforms, successes, and challenges
within the Western Balkans. |
