Public-private partnerships (PPPs) allow governments to leverage private sector expertise and financing to achieve development goals. The document discusses examples of PPPs in Bangladesh in various sectors like health, infrastructure, social development, and education. In health, PPPs have expanded immunization programs and addressed nutrition issues. Infrastructure PPPs aim to improve funding, transparency, and attract private investment. Social development PPPs target socioeconomic progress. Educational PPPs have established schools and universities through private partnerships. Recommendations include developing a clear PPP policy and oversight body to better implement such projects going forward in Bangladesh.
- According to the Open Budget Survey 2017, Bangladesh's budget transparency score declined from the highest in South Asia in 2015 to 41% in 2017, indicating limited public access to budget information.
- The study evaluated how governments make key budget documents available to the public and provide opportunities for civic participation in the budget process. Bangladesh provided few such opportunities.
- To improve transparency and accountability, the document recommends strengthening the audit institution's independence, establishing an independent fiscal institution, simplifying budget documents, and increasing public participation in the budget process.
TESTING NEW SOCIAL INNOVATION POLICIES ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL LEVELarmelleguillermet
This document provides guidance on testing social innovation policies at the local and regional levels. It discusses defining the policies and interventions to be tested, specifying a theory of change, defining outcomes and indicators to measure impact, estimating the counterfactual, analyzing effects, disseminating findings, and applying lessons locally and more broadly. Key steps include carefully selecting relevant policies to evaluate, considering macro vs micro evaluations, and using a theory of change to map the path from intervention to desired outcomes. The overall aim is to build an evidence base on what policies are effective in creating positive social change.
In many countries inequality is growing as the benefits of economic growth go to the richest members of society. Inclusive Growth is all about changing the rules so that more people can contribute to and benefit from economic growth.

This document discusses budget transparency and the Open Budget Index. It provides information on:
- Why budget transparency and accountability are important, such as for fiscal discipline and identifying spending leakages.
- How the Open Budget Index is calculated, through surveys of over 100 countries that evaluate public access to budget documents and oversight opportunities.
- The key budget documents that are assessed, such as pre-budget statements, enacted budgets, and audit reports.
- How scores on the index are assigned and interpreted, with higher scores indicating more extensive information provided to citizens.
- Trends from the last 6 years of Open Budget Index surveys showing some countries improving transparency significantly.
The document summarizes Kenya's process of engaging the private sector in public-private partnerships (PPPs) for healthcare over the past decade. It outlines a 4-step process: 1) assessing the private health sector, 2) holding public-private dialogues to develop a shared vision, 3) reaching agreements on a PPP framework and roadmap, and 4) taking actions to implement PPPs. Key achievements include institutionalizing ongoing dialogue, growing political support, and establishing a PPP unit in the Ministries of Health. Moving forward, priorities are creating an enabling environment for PPPs through policies and guidelines, strengthening ministry capacity to manage PPPs, and implementing initial partnership projects.

The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.
The document summarizes a review of progress made in implementing commitments under the International Health Partnership (IHP+), including:
1) Partners have taken initial actions towards IHP+ goals but it is too early to assess long-term impacts. Coordination is increasing but cooperation and collaboration need more work.
2) Country compacts are being developed but need to balance specificity and inclusiveness. Financing expectations may not be met given challenges in increasing funding.
3) Institutional reforms are needed within partner organizations to change incentives and empower staff to work differently. Civil society engagement also needs strengthening.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

This presentation provides an overview of Ghana's Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) initiative, which aims to improve access to primary healthcare. The initiative shifts healthcare delivery from facilities to communities through resident nurses. It is scaling up a successful model tested in Navrongo. While progress has been made with over 2,500 operational CHPS compounds, full national coverage requires around 6,500 compounds. The initiative faces challenges of slow deployment, inadequate funding, and minimal community engagement. It outlines strategies for expanding financing from government, private partners, and health insurance to fully implement the community-based primary healthcare program.

The document summarizes the process of revising Nigeria's national population policy. The original 1988 policy had unrealistic targets due to a lack of reliable data and weak implementation structures. The revised policy involved extensive multi-stakeholder consultation, use of demographic data and models to inform targets, and established a new coordinating agency to facilitate implementation. This resulted in improved coordination of population programs and increased funding.

This document discusses 11 projects funded by a CDC-PEPFAR grant administered by the University of the Western Cape Centre for Research in HIV and AIDS since 2008. It provides background on the shift towards promoting country ownership and integration from 2010. It then analyzes the impact of this focus on the projects, questions that arose as they attempted to incorporate with the South African government, and identifies 3 key areas for the future: what relation funding has to decision-making power, what level of government holds "ownership", and how local governments can sustain externally funded projects in resource-poor settings.

Giovanni Tonutti recently spoke at the Imagining Digital Future workshop organised by the Center for Knowledge and Innovation Research at Aalto University in Helsinki.
Giovanni's delivered a session, Catching up or slipping behind? Are policy makers embracing the potential of data analytics? His presentation focused on Policy in Practice's work promoting the smart use of data to improve the way social policy is designed and delivered.
The event looked at some of the challenges policy makers face in unlocking the potential of administrative data, and Giovanni shared how we have been able to help overcome them by combining our policy expertise and unique analytical capabilities.
Giovanni said "To be invited to such a high profile international event is testament of the impact that Policy in Practice's work is having, and equally it is a great opportunity to confront ourselves with the work and the challenges that similar organisations face in the wider European context."

This document presents a study of the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES). IGEES seeks to improve policymaking in Ireland by providing economic and analytical expertise across government departments. The study analyzes how IGEES has contributed to more evidence-informed policymaking. It finds that IGEES has helped strengthen analytical capacity and build an evidence base, producing many outputs. However, data availability and use needs improvement, as does leadership for analytical work. The report recommends greater IGEES governance coherence, developing skills and a policymaking community, leveraging IGEES to improve evaluation quality, and broadening dissemination of IGEES work.

Examination of shared services in PS (Ireland)Jacek Szwarc
The document provides an examination of shared services in the Irish public service and internationally. It finds that the Irish public service has made significant progress in implementing shared services centers in a short time period, especially in the civil service and health sectors. While benefits have yet to be fully realized, international experience and business cases prepared by the sectors indicate shared services can provide substantial quantitative cost savings as well as qualitative benefits like improved efficiency and service delivery. Critical success factors for shared services include maintaining government support, tracking and realizing planned benefits, and evolving the shared services vision in line with stakeholder needs.
The document provides an overview and assessment of South Africa's 2015 Appropriation Bill. It summarizes the bill's general provisions, analyzes spending baselines and outcomes, and assesses the bill's impact on key government priorities like economic growth, infrastructure, education, health, and improving efficiency. The Financial and Fiscal Commission response commends efforts to balance fiscal stability with priorities, but calls for continued efforts to rein in the public wage bill and boost infrastructure investment through cost-reflective user fees.
This document summarizes two policy documents: Program-for-Results Financing from the World Bank, and Consultative Guidelines for Sustainable Urban Development Cooperation from the European Commission.
The Program-for-Results Financing provides a new lending instrument to support government programs through results-based disbursements. The Consultative Guidelines provide a framework for sustainable urban development cooperation, focusing on issues like transport, water, and employment.
While both aim to advance development goals, the Program-for-Results Financing provides stronger implementation mechanisms and measurable targets, whereas the Consultative Guidelines lack implementation details and quantifiable targets.
Enhancing Accountability in Public Finance through Performance in Bangladeshicgfmconference
The document discusses enhancing accountability in public finance in Bangladesh through linking performance to accountability. It outlines Bangladesh's progress in public financial management reforms over 15 years, including establishing a macroeconomic framework and institutional support for planning and budgeting. While Bangladesh has made progress, public opinion polls are not yet a reality due to limited public awareness of financial processes and nascent performance budgeting systems. Intermediate steps are being taken to evolve performance orientation and accountability, such as pre-budget consultations and training programs to strengthen performance monitoring.
Sample Research in Managerial Economics.pdfFroilanBanal1
The document discusses a graduate course on public fiscal management and accountability. It aims to describe government budgeting in various countries, assess effectiveness and efficiency of public spending, and determine industries receiving government funds for economic growth. It provides an introduction to government budgets outlining resources and planned usage. The importance of budgeting for achieving socio-economic goals is discussed. Later sections provide methodology for analyzing literature on government expenditure, effectiveness of budgeting, spending, and expenses. Examples from the Philippines are given on budgeting systems and participatory budgeting initiatives. Tables summarize journals on related issues like planning, budgeting, and socio-development goals.
Budget is a financial and non-financial framework in terms of cash flows that guides governments, private organizations and individuals in achieving their desired objectives in a particular period if it is properly, adequately and realistically prepared. The long standing and familiar incremental budget has been faulted by various stakeholders hence, the contemplation for an alternative system known as zero-based budgeting (ZBB). The first objective of this study is to find out whether or not the theoretical benefits accruable to ZBB can motivate the governments’ ministries, departments and agencies to adopt and implement the proposed new system? The second objective is to determine whether or not the budgeting system has any relationship with budget implementation. Questionnaire was used in collecting data from the budget stakeholders. Descriptive statistics and simple regression were adopted in analyzing the data. It is established that the theoretical benefits accruable to ZBB can influence the adoption and implementation of the proposed ZBB. It is also revealed that the proposed budgeting system has a strong relationship with implementation. The study recommends that, despite the support for the ZBB, the current incremental budgeting system would have to be reviewed for reference into adopting and implementing the ZBB since it will be the basis for the new system. It is also recommended that the coming into operation of the new system should be a gradual process in the form of test running it to address the acknowledged challenges in the proposed system before it can be fully implemented. In addition, there should be seriousness in the whole exercise.

Under this model, private investors provide upfront capital to social service organizations to deliver services meeting pre-defined outcomes. The government only pays investors if the program achieves success metrics like reducing recidivism. This focuses funding on results rather than inputs, speeds adoption of proven solutions, and transfers risk of failure to investors, not taxpayers. However, challenges include identifying interventions with sufficiently large benefits, measurable outcomes, well-defined populations, credible impact assessments, and contingency plans if performance falls short.

1) Yemen performs poorly on budget transparency according to the Open Budget Survey, scoring 11 out of 100 in 2012.
2) Key issues include the lack of a legal framework for budgeting, lack of consultation with parliament, and lack of important technical information in budgets like performance information.
3) Public participation in budgeting in Yemen is very limited. Mechanisms for participation during budget planning and implementation are largely unavailable, as are reports on budget hearings and how public inputs are used.
The document presents an overview of different approaches to budgeting in the public sector, including incremental budgeting which is currently used in Northern Ireland. It discusses recommendations from reports to move towards budgeting approaches that more explicitly link budgets to performance and outcomes. Alternative approaches described include zero-based budgeting, priority-based budgeting, and performance-based budgeting. The document provides details on the advantages and disadvantages of different budgeting methods.
The document provides an overview of operating budget concepts and processes for local governments. It discusses key relationships between operating budgets and other financial planning aspects such as capital investment plans, strategic planning, accounting, and more. The document also examines characteristics of effective operating budget systems and the roles and responsibilities of various actors such as citizens, governing bodies, department heads, and chief executive officers in the budget preparation and implementation process.

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.

• Public Participation in National Budget Process
• Findings from the Open Budget Survey 2015 on Public
Participation
• Revising the Open Budget Survey Indicators on Public
Participation
3. 3
• Access to budget information is a necessary but insufficient condition
to increase the level of accountability for governments to raise and
spend public funds efficiently and effectively
• For this to happen, transparency needs to be accompanied by
meaningful opportunities for the public to participate in the budget
process
• For this reason, over the last five years, IBP has been working on a set
of indicators on public participation for the Open Budget Survey (OBS)
that could complement existing indicators on transparency
Public Participation in National Budgeting
4. 4
• Indicators on public participation in the national budget process
introduced in the OBS 2012 were the first attempt to articulate a set of
guidelines on how public participation in the national budget process
ought to be structured
• Indicators were based on six principles:
– Participationshould occur throughoutthe budget process
– Participationshould occur with all parts of the government
– Participationshould have a legal basis
– The purposes of for publicengagement should be publicized in advance
– Multiplemechanisms for public engagement should be implemented
– The publicshould be providedwith feedback on their inputs
• Indicators were implemented in the OBS 2012 and OBS 2015
OBS 2012/2015 Indicators on Public Participation
5. 5
• Most countries do not provide adequate opportunities for public
participation. Globally, the average score is only 25 out of 100. Within
the region, the results are more encouraging, with an average of 35 out
of 100.
Findings from the OBS 2015 on Public Participation

• A growing international consensus has emerged that public
participation is an essential component of a well-functioning,
accountable budget system
• GIFT’s pioneering work on principles for public participation now serve
as a basis for widely accepted norms around what public participation
and gives guidance on what should be measured, offering a good
moment to revise the OBS indicators on public participation
• IBP welcomes feedback on the revised indicators, in particular around
those on the executive’s engagement with the public
