http://blog-pfm.imf.org/pfmblog/2011/03/asian-regional-seminar-promoting-fiscal-sustainability-through-improving-the-efficiency-and-effectiv.html Asian Regional Seminar: Promoting Fiscal Sustainability through Improving the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Public Spending'The central theme of this three-day seminar was how advanced budget reforms, such as medium-term expenditure frameworks, performance budgeting, and spending reviews, can promote fiscal sustainability through improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending. The seminar was not about reform models and theories but reform reality. Reform practitioners and implementers from Asian countries and a selection of OECD countries presented and discussed their experiences of developing and implementing these reform initiatives. The seminar promoted the exchange of experiences among governments in the region and between participating OECD and Asian countries.'
Unfortunately the links to the PP presentations appear to have problems. The zip files are not opening corretly in my computer after download.
Can any computer-savvy PFMBoarder help on this?
