Toward Next-Generation Performance Budgeting: Lessons from the
Experiences of Seven Reforming Countries analyses the difficulties
that national governments have had in linking measurement of
performance and results to the annual budget process. The book is
based on intensive reviews of four advanced countries that were
early reformers and three pioneers in Central and Eastern Europe.
In addition to looking at their current systems, Toward
Next-Generation Performance Budgeting looks at how their approaches
have evolved over time. This book attempts to fill a gap between
survey-based self-assessments and best-practice guides. It was
compiled in response to the concerns of budget departments in
countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, many of which are
committed to adopting some form of performance-based budgeting and
are seeking to learn from the experiences of previous reformers
what the practical challenges are and how they can adapt
best-practice approaches to a messy reality. The case studies
demonstrate a general pattern of disappointment with the results of
performance budgeting, balanced by a strong belief in the
underlying logic, which has resulted in repeated efforts to modify
approaches to tighten the links between budgeting and performance.
These efforts have resulted in significant variation in how
countries have implemented performance budgeting and in the
benefits they have derived. These variations offer guidance for
models of next-generation performance budgeting, avoiding classic
pitfalls, and incorporating modifications introduced by those who
have used it longest and found it useful.
