    Reimagining Public Finance- The Blog

    Read our first blog introducing the Reimagining Public Finance Initiative - the why, the what and the how - we would love your feedback on the proposed outcome-led approach.

This website sets out the Outcome‑Led Approach to Public Financial Management (PFM) Reform that starts from governments’ policy and service delivery goals—such as health, education, and economic resilience—and works backward to how public finance systems shape, support, or constrain progress toward those objectives, helping to identify areas where changes in public finance arrangements may better support how public resources are used to deliver services and outcomes that matter to people. It sets out the principles of effective PFM reform and a practical five step process to diagnose, design and implement outcome led reforms.
