Expenditure tracking has become a popular activity among civil society organisations engaged in accountability issues at the local level. This U4 Issue Paper takes a critical look at the experience of expenditure tracking, argues that its successes may have been overstated, and proposes some principles of engagement on how to track expenditures more effectively.
Not much has been written about the less successful PETS experiences. This brief presents the Tanzanian experience, which clearly shows that PETS is not a silver bullet as vested interests can easily derail the process. |
These pages are based on inputs from Bertil Tungodden (Norwegian Business School and Chr. Michelsen Inst.) and Ottar Mæstad, Chr. Michelsen Inst.
