Information about public sector performance is always in demand, both by politicians and the general public. Should performance information be linked to resources? This is an ongoing debate in OECD countries. This book reviews the experiences of eight OECD countries which have developed and used performance information in the budget process over the past ten years: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Korea, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States. The book offers guidelines and recommendations on adapting budget systems to promote the use of performance information.

The OECD Journal on Budgeting, Volume 6, Number 2 (2006) contains selected case studies and papers based on presentations at the annual CABRI budget reform seminars in 2004 and 2005. One of the aims of the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative is to contribute to a common African resource base for African officials on public financial management in Africa. Co-operation between CABRI and the OECD network of Senior Budget Officials draws on contributions by the SBO at the CABRI seminars and through insights on how a senior budget officials network can operate.
