Using performance information for management - Eneken Lipp, EstoniaOECD Governance
The document discusses performance-based budgeting reforms in Estonia. It outlines the challenges that triggered reforms, including a lack of cooperation between planning and budgeting. Estonia is now using performance budgeting, with 2/3 of ministry budgets connected to public services. The concept of performance-based budgeting in Estonia ties resources to outcomes through program budgeting, defining all government costs as services, and service cost accounting. New legal amendments effective in 2020 will integrate strategic planning documents with the budget at the program level, allowing some flexibility in reallocating costs. The reform aims to increase efficiency, transparency, and cooperation through unified performance planning and budgeting systems.

Recent Development in Public Finance in European union countriesREJAY89
This document discusses recent developments in public internal financial control in Turkey and its relations with the European Union. It outlines Turkey's public financial management system, including budgeting, resource allocation, and control/audit mechanisms. It notes criticisms of Turkey's narrow system and lack of transparency.

The strategy establishes clear monitoring and reporting processes to track progress. Key aspects of reform include sustainable fiscal planning, improved financial reporting, effective oversight of public finances, and strengthened internal controls. Reform progress is measured using indicators in areas such as budget credibility, revenue collection, public investment, and public administration. The first annual report found most indicators were met, demonstrating progress in implementing needed reforms to Albania's public financial management
Budget for Outcomes - Stefan Kiss, Slovak RepublicOECD Governance
The document summarizes Slovakia's spending review process and goals of increasing efficiency and value for money in public expenditures. Key points include:
- Spending reviews target specific sectors (education, health) or functions (IT, wages) and aim to cut inefficient spending and promote high-value programs.
- Reviews are led by the Ministry of Finance but involve analytical units within line ministries to supplement existing budgeting processes.
- Measures identified in reviews become part of budget negotiations and documentation and some are incorporated into the annual state budget. Outcome indicators track progress in priority areas.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Financial audit of the State Consolidated Annual
Accounts and performance audit aspects
a separate performance audit «Efficiency of Budget Management System»
Thus we decided to go the Parliament and ask their opinion… The SAO survey in
2015 revealed discontent by the MPs with the overall budget management system:
67% : not satisfied with overall satisfaction with
the budget structure, planning process and the
information availability for the achievement of
goals,
83% : the state budget does not provide MPs with
sufficient and understandable information on the
effective allocation and expenditure of the budget funds
for the benefit of the society
we thought – what if everybody else is satisfied and we «just don’t get it»?
the measures taken by the Government towards implementation were merely formal
SAO has repeatedly concluded that the State budget does not serve as means for the
implementation of the State policy, i.e., the goals and funds live their own lives
Since 2009 the SAO has issued several recommendations
regarding budget management system-
still not implemented: on necessity to evaluate the reasoning of budget requests, to assess the
level of detail of the information in the Budget Law, to review budget flexibility tools, etc.

Still the budget package lacks essential information:
what has and will be done to attain the goals of the State’s National Development Plan;
what amount of expenditure actually ensures the fulfilment of functions of ministries
and central institutions at an unchanging level;
what is the total amount of development expenditure;
detailed information on public investments so that balanced decisions can be taken.

Significance of Team Work in the Budgeting
Management (1)
Budget
planning
is a team work
with the
common goal
Parliament -
requests high-
quality
information
Cabinet of
Ministers - creates
a clear and
understandable
system
Ministry of
Finance -
develops a draft
budget law
Budget units -
observe the
procedures and

Significance of Team Work in the Budgeting
Management – identified shortcomings (2)
The main budgeting
regulating law - On
Budget and Financial
Management, has
crucial shortcomings
Inconsistent
approach to the
harmonisation of
basic expenditure at
similar circumstances
Lack of clear
information about
amount of public
investments
Crucial budget
decisions are in fact
adopted by the working
group of the coalition
parties
The fiscal space is
increased each year,
despite no funds
available
No centralised
management of large
public investment
projects
National development
planning and budget
planning are separate

Lack of Long-Term Thinking
Fiscal discipline
• the optimal and country-specific national debt level has not been
assessed and economically substantiated
• daily expenses are currently funded by budget deficit and,
respectively, by an increase of the general government debt
• 48% of 42 recommendations given by the Fiscal Discipline
Council have not been implemented or have just started to be
implemented
Budget planning for the State development in the long term
• it is not assessed at any stage of the budgeting process whether and
to which extent the goals of national development planning
documents are to be achieved
• the current government action plan covers only 55% of
measured indicators of the long-term development strategy of
Latvia and approximately 68% of indicators of the National
Development Plan

Conclusions
The Supreme
Audit Office
of Latvia
is
contributing
to promoting
the quality of
budget
management
system
in Latvia
through annual financial audits in ministries, state
agencies and local governments
- impact will be enhanced when all reports will be
published (in July) before the annual main budget
planning discussions in government (in August)
using an integral approach for how we set themes and
questions of audits:
- approaching the identified problems in a complex manner;
- evaluating problems over periods of several years;
- deciding what to evaluate in financial audit, what – as a
compliance issue in a financial audit, what – as a separate
compliance or performance audit
audit findings are used by the MoF for base expenditure
review
through communication and explaining relevance of audit
findings and issued recommendations to our stakeholders –
society and the Parliament
