The Public Expenditure Survey Sample Clauses

The Public Expenditure Survey. A PETS assesses if the allocated budget for services is actually spent as intended: to deliver quality services to all citizens, especially vulnerable groups. Government mobilises fees, taxes and financial assistance from various sources to deliver services. These resources must reach frontline service providers and ultimately citizens, and not be misappropriated or get misused along the way. This SA tool involves citizen groups in tracking how the local government and service providers actually spend funds, with the aim of identifying bottlenecks and/or leakage in the flow of resources, which can be money or other inputs (e.g. drugs, school books, construction materials). A PETS thus enables local government officials, service providers and ordinary citizen to understand their budget entitlements and to use these for the intended purpose. In the case of ESAP2, at the national and regional levels, PETS are limited to understanding the amount of budget allocated to the Woreda, the actual transfers, and possible delays in the transfers. Box 1 explains the decentralised block grants system in Ethiopia, which is the main source of budget for the Woreda administration. Other sources of Woreda budget are internal revenue, community contribution and private donations. The latter two sources of funds are actually ‘off-budget” and spending of these resources has proven difficult to track. PETS sets out to answer the following questions: • What are the service delivery objectives? • What is the objective and scope of PETS? • What is the amount of resources allocated (capital and recurrent) for service delivery, or for a specific part thereof (such as provision of books to schools, vaccinations to health centers, agricultural inputs to extension sites)? • Do the funds and material resources reach the intended users? 2 In the Gregorian calendar this is 2013/2014 and 2012/2013 respectively. • What are the processes and procedures involved in budget planning, allocation, disbursement, execution and evaluation? • How efficient and effective is the budget execution process? • What is the amount of money spent at each level and how? • Is there any leakage or diversion of funds or other resources? • What is the impact of the budget on the service delivery objectives?
