Public Expenditure Review June 2001
The main objective of the PER is to assess and improve the quality and
content of public expenditure in Malawi, leading to an improvement in
social indicators through three main channels. Firstly, by helping to
maintain fiscal stability and therefore facilitating growth and poverty
reduction. Secondly, by raising real returns to public expenditures and
thirdly by ensuring that expenditures are directed to goods and services
that are mostly used by the poor.
This PER was a joint exercise conducted by the Government of Malawi and
the World Bank. On a macro level, the PER analyses overall trends in expenditure,
the institutional framework for expenditure management and finally, the
development budget. On a sectoral level, this PER analyses the four key
sectors of education, health, agriculture and roads.
