Managing Modern Government and Performance-Based Budgeting

Budgeting in public institutions moved away from a tool of expenditure control to a mechanism fostering value creation and results achievement. The aim is to prove programme effectiveness, managerial efficiency and support of institutional funding prioritization. This seminar looks at medium-term planning and performance-based budgeting as strategic planning and reporting tools that put the focus on expected results and the measurement of performance achievement.
