This paper provides a methodological
 tool to support the collection and preparation of
 standardized, comprehensive data regarding public spending
 on infrastructure services that can be rigorously compared
 across countries. Infrastructure is defined to cover six
 sectors: irrigation, energy (primarily power), transport,
 communication, wastewater management, and water supply. The
 guide is designed to provide a much richer and more complete
 measurement of infrastructure spending than the limited
 highly aggregated data currently available through the IMF
 Government Financial Statistics. Originally developed for
 Africa, the methodology is relevant and readily applicable
 to any developing country. With the aim of being as
 comprehensive as possible, the methodology covers central
 and sub-national government expenditures, non-budgetary
 vehicles (such as road funds), state-owned enterprises
 (SOEs), and public-private partnerships (PPPs). While the
 methodology focuses on collecting quantitative data on the
 level and composition of spending, this is complemented with
 qualitative data that provides the institutional context.
 Importantly, the methodology allows for cross-classification
 of infrastructure spending by purpose (power, roads, etc)
 and by function (operational versus capital spending). This
 guide provides practical guidance -- including concepts,
 definitions, and classifications -- for each of the three
 stages of work, namely: (i) pre-field, (ii) field, and (iii)
 back office.Date

People's Democratic Republic of Algeria - Public Expenditure Review : Assuring High Quality Public Investment, Volume 1. Main ReportWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2012-06-12)The fiscal space generated by a prolonged oil windfall has enabled Algeria to embark on a massive public investment program for 2005- 09, Programme Complementaire de Soutien a la Croissance (PCSC). Taking advantage of the current macroeconomic and fiscal opportunity, the country could institutionalize high-quality public expenditure that would contribute social benefit far into the future. This Public Expenditure Review (PER) is an exercise to help the Government toward that end. The objectives of this PER are to assist the government in the following: evaluate fiscal sustainability in light of the country's fiscal push that PCSC represents; set high technical standards for public investment management; draw lessons from the on-going budget modernization reform in order to support the overall implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of projects; support the preparation of a medium-term expenditure framework and improve the efficiency and cost-benefit of investments in four key sectors, transport and public works, water, education, and health.

Financing Public Infrastructure in Sub-Saharan AfricaFoster, Viven; Smits, Karlis; Briceño-Garmendia, Cecilia (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2017-09-08)To be credible, any plan for scaling up
 infrastructure in Africa must rest on a thorough evaluation
 of how fiscal resources are allocated and financed. Because
 in every plausible scenario the public sector retains the
 lion's share of infrastructure financing, with private
 participation remaining limited, a central purpose of such
 an evaluation is to identify where and how fiscal resources
 can be better used if not increased without jeopardizing
 macroeconomic and fiscal stability. The stakes are high,
 because the magnitude of Africa's infrastructure needs
 carries a commensurate potential for misuse of scarce fiscal
 resources. The authors analyze recent public expenditure
 patterns to identify ways to make more fiscal resources
 available for infrastructure. The authors do this in three
 ways. First, we quantify the level and composition of public
 spending on infrastructure so as to match fiscal allocations
 to the particular characteristics of individual subsectors
 and to countries' macroeconomic type (low-income
 fragile, low-income no fragile, oil-exporting, and
 middle-income). Second, the authors evaluate public
 budgetary spending for infrastructure against macroeconomic
 conditions to get a sense of the scope for making additional
 fiscal resources available based on actual allocation
 decisions in recent years. And, third, the authors look for
 ways to make public spending for infrastructure more
 efficient, so as to better use existing resources. Any
 exercise of this kind encounters data limitations. First,
 because it was not feasible to visit all sub national
 entities, some decentralized infrastructure expenditures
 probably have been underrepresented, with particular
 implications for the water sector. Second, it was not always
 possible to fully identify which items of the budget are
 financed by donors, and contributions by nongovernmental
 organizations (NGOs) to rural infrastructure projects are
 likely to have been missed completely. Third, it was not
 always possible to obtain full financial statements for all
 of the infrastructure special funds that the authors
 identified. Fourth, accurate recording of annual changes in
 fixed capital formation (capital expenditure) of State-owned
 enterprises (SOEs) remains a methodological challenge.
 Fifth, accurate measurement of existing public
 infrastructure stock will require further methodological development.

Seychelles Programmatic Public Expenditure Review Policy Notes : Health, Education, and Investment ManagementWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-08-14)Since 2008, the Government of Seychelles
 has successfully undertaken major reforms to secure
 macroeconomic stability and create conditions for
 sustainable, private sector-led growth. The continuous
 strengthening of Seychelles' public financial
 management (PFM) system plays a central role in facilitating
 fiscal consolidation and improving the delivery of
 government services. Over the past few years, the government
 has implemented a series of reforms to address public sector
 governance, including: (i) modernizing the public sector and
 improving the alignment of institutions with policy and
 service delivery mandates; (ii) rolling back the
 government's role in commercial activities by reducing
 the large number of parastatals, improving management, and
 introducing a new wage bill together with the private
 sector; and (iii) redefining the accountability structure
 between the government agencies responsible for service
 delivery. Despite the government's ambitious
 macroeconomic reform program and its efforts to strengthen
 the PFM system, measures to improve the efficiency of public
 investment management (PIM) have received only limited
 consideration. Challenges to the efficient use of public
 resources hamper the government's ability to meet
 urgent social needs and improve access to basic services.
 This note aims to provide an objective assessment of the
 strengths and weaknesses of Seychelles' PIM system and
 to recommend measures for improving the quality of capital spending.
