| What’s behind the budget? Politics rights and accountability in the budget process |
| This paper was commissioned by the Department for International Development UK (DFID) as part of the programme of work to take forward the human rights strategy as outlined in the document Realising Human Rights for Poor People (2001). The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the evolving understanding of public expenditure management as a political rather than a purely technical process. The paper identifies issues partners tools and methods that may help development actors to support citizen accountability and a pro-poor gender-equitable focus in public expenditure management. The paper aims to take this debate forward by looking at the ways in which a rights approach can contribute to strengthening pro-poor voice and outcomes in budget processes. The paper argues that integrating a rights perspective with a good understanding of the mechanics and politics of public expenditure management has potential for advancing understanding of the key question of how a pro-poor focus can be encouraged and fostered in the mainstream of public policy. |
