public expenditure review

Knowledge | Forest Sector Public Expenditure Reviews (Toolkit)

In assessing the ways in which public expenditures are allocated, two questions are relevant: what is money being spent on, and how well is money being spent? PROFOR financed an effort to develop guidelines for carrying out public expenditure reviews in the forest sector. Credible public expenditure reviews should help policymakers and donors better align forest policy and public spending at a time when carbon finance raises the prospect of increased financial flows.
