Huther, Jeff,

Public expenditure reform under adjustment lending : lessons from World Bank experiences - Washington, D.C. : World Bank, c1997. - viii, 55 p. : illustrations ; - World Bank discussion papers, .

This paper argues that the World Bank should follow a systemic approach to developing guidance on public expenditure reform. Suggested approaches are to: determine an appropriate role for government and its various agents and specify their partnership with the civil society and the private sector; clarify the goals of reform and specify performance monitoring and evaluation indicators; target unproductive and inequitable expenditures from elimination; emphasize poverty alleviation; and promote equity and adopt general guidelines on policy environment goals for external assistance.
