Results, Performance Budgeting and Trust in GovernmentThe book identifies four categories of
 performance budgeting, namely direct performance budgeting,
 performance informed budget (PIB), opportunistic performance
 budgeting and presentational performance budgeting. While
 the Conference papers often refer to performance budgeting
 broadly defined, much of the book focuses on PIB, the most
 common category of performance budgeting adopted to date,
 making the argument that this is likely to be the most
 applicable in many Latin American countries. The book
 combines two seemingly diverse governance topics, adopts
 contrasting analytic styles to address these, and seeks to
 draw out their inter-connections, with particular reference
 to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
 (OECD) and Latin American countries. The first topic is PIB,
 which is discussed largely from the practical perspective of
 policy makers and practitioners, reflecting that it is a
 major public administration reform that has been underway
 for several decades. The second topic is the trust of
 citizens and firms in government. This book is divided into
 seven chapters. Chapter one provides an overview of PIB,
 building on two decades of experience and lesson-learning,
 and sets out the key themes that provide the basis for the
 discussions in the subsequent chapters. Chapter two
 introduces the concept of trust in government, particularly
 in OECD and Latin American countries, and explores why this
 matters for development. Chapters three, four, and five
 explore key dimensions of PIB, including the institutional
 foundations, the production of performance information, and
 the uses of performance information. Chapter six considers
 the impact of performance improvement on trust in government
 in OECD and Latin American countries. Chapter seven provides
 a guide for practitioners on PIB.
