  4. Strengthening public financial management in post-conflict countries

    Publication - Briefing papers - 28 April 2011
    Economic Premise 54
    Verena Fritz, Edward Hedger, and Ana Paula Fialho Lopes

A new cross-country study of public financial management reforms in post-conflict situations shows that substantial progress is possible even in difficult circumstances, while showing a pattern of sequencing and progress that differs from standard assumptions. However, the impact on state building remains less than what might be hoped. That impact could be strengthened by persistently targeting sustainable capacity, challenging areas such as procurement, greater public awareness, and more rapid coverage of line ministries and sub-national levels.
