PUBLIC EXPENDITURE TRACKING SURVEY (PETS)QUANTITATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY SURVEY (QSDS)
A more typical situation…
Lack of clarity about how resource allocation relates to policies and priorities
- budget not comprehensive- classification system
Political economy
Nontransparent process- Poor reporting on execution
- High level of aggregation- Discretion in allocation
Weak service delivery- Accountability
- Efficiency- Quality
Inherently difficult to assess- Household surveys
- Participatory approaches- Social Impact Assessment
Unclear policy framework
Weak management information systems- limited coverage- poor data quality
- late and scattered reporting

The Key Social Accountability issues. Weak societal actors to play central role in SA in
terms of funding and organization. Incentive structure inclined to punishment. Problems
exist in enforcing punishment and sanctions in decentralized setting.
Rewards and political patronage. Rule following is the focus. Performance based SA is
new. Low level of institutionalization and methods in use
are not inscribed in the law Early external involvement with limited external
participation at the end of the process. Elitist involvement with the executive branch of
government.
