ABSTRACTCommunity-based natural resource management (CBNRM), which is aimed at ensuring meaningful participation of rural communities in decision-making and promoting sustainable utilisation of natural resources, has been criticised for excluding local communities from decision-making. Using the concept of social exclusion and a qualitative approach, the study's main objective was to analyse the exclusion faced by the minority Doma ethnic group in the Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) programme in northern Zimbabwe. Findings showed that the Doma were excluded from decision-making related to wildlife management by powerful stakeholders, who included political elites, local authority officials, government conservation authorities, and the safari operator. The crux of this exclusion revolved around the large differences between their livelihood practices and those of the other stakeholders, their low-status position and peripheral location. The Doma also participated in their exclusion as they decided to take an indifferent approach to CAMPFIRE.KEYWORDS: CAMPFIRECBNRMDomasocial exclusionZimbabwe AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank the Nelson Mandela University Department of Research Capacity Development for funding this research and the people of Chapoto for responding to the interviews.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Nelson Mandela University Department of Research Capacity Development.
摘要以社区为基础的自然资源管理(CBNRM)旨在确保农村社区有意义地参与决策,促进自然资源的可持续利用,但由于将当地社区排除在决策之外而受到批评。利用社会排斥的概念和定性方法,这项研究的主要目的是分析津巴布韦北部土著资源公共地区管理方案(CAMPFIRE)方案中少数民族多玛族面临的排斥。调查结果显示,Doma被包括政治精英、地方当局官员、政府保护当局和野生动物园经营者在内的强大利益相关者排除在与野生动物管理相关的决策之外。这种排斥的关键在于他们的生计实践与其他利益相关者之间的巨大差异,他们的低地位和外围位置。Doma也参与了他们的排斥,因为他们决定对CAMPFIRE采取冷漠的态度。我们要感谢纳尔逊·曼德拉大学研究能力发展系为这项研究提供资金,并感谢Chapoto人民对访谈的回应。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。这项工作得到了纳尔逊·曼德拉大学研究能力发展系的支持。

ABSTRACTThis article analyses a subset of eight youth employability programmes (YEPs) operating across South Africa using a panel survey of participants. It assesses the features of these YEPs and their links to subsequent employment while controlling for individual characteristics. Each YEP delivered technical and soft skills training, alongside other programme features offered in different combinations. Additionally, a financial capability intervention comprising financial literacy and access to a savings product was randomised to half of the training sites. Job matching, soft skills training, and financial capability are all strongly associated with better employment odds. The strength of these associations depends on how different training components are combined, and on graduates’ education level and area of residence. The findings have implications for the design of active labour market policies in developing countries with large youth unemployment and fast-changing labour markets.KEYWORDS: Active labour market programmesyouth unemploymentfinancial capabilityskills training Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ford Foundation [grant number 0140-0188]; The National Treasury’s Government Technical Advisory Committee (no grant number); the British Academy Newton Fund [grant number AF140164]; the National Youth Development Agency (no grant number); the University of Johannesburg’s University Research Committee (no grant number); and the Department of Science and Technology/National Research Foundation South African Research Chair Initiative (SARCHi) through the SARCHi for Welfare and Social Development (no grant number).

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the short-term impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on firms in a developing country i.e. Zambia. This is motivated by the characteristics of the Labour market in developing countries where informality dominates, and female workers form a larger proportion of the informal workforce. The Zambian version of the World Bank Enterprise Survey conducted just before the pandemic (September 2019 to March 2020) and during the pandemic (June 6 to 17 July 2020) is used to explore the experience of firms in terms of changes in the number of employees and firm survival. Results suggest that informal workers are more likely to lose their jobs while firms that are at least partly owned/managed by females are also less likely to survive. It is argued that policy actions that protect informal workers are salient especially since future pandemics cannot be ruled out.KEYWORDS: COVID-19 pandemicinformalityfirm survivalJEL: L25L26J08J46 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See https://reliefweb.int/report/zambia/zambia-situation-report-6-july-2020.2 See https://www.theigc.org/blog/one-year-on-zambian-economy-during-covid-19/.3 See https://bfaglobal.com/covid-19/insights/zambia-msmes-during-covid-19/.4 For example, some experts suggest that herd immunity may not materialize even with the vaccines because of the different variants of the virus in circulation https://theconversation.com/covid-19-herd-immunity-its-not-going-to-happen-so-what-next-165471.5 International statistical standards distinguish between employment in the informal sector and informal employment, the latter which is the concept of interest in this paper refers to the employment relationship and protection associated with the worker’s job (Bonnet et al., Citation2019).6 Except for Adjust production for COVID, % decrease in sales, and the outcome variables which were sourced from the follow up data.

摘要本文考察了冠状病毒大流行对发展中国家赞比亚企业的短期影响。这是由于发展中国家劳动力市场的特点,在这些国家非正规工作占主导地位,妇女工人在非正规劳动力中占较大比例。赞比亚版的世界银行企业调查在大流行之前(2019年9月至2020年3月)和大流行期间(2020年6月6日至7月17日)进行,用于探讨企业在员工数量变化和企业生存方面的经验。结果表明,非正式工人更有可能失去工作,而至少部分由女性拥有/管理的公司也不太可能生存。有人认为,保护非正规工人的政策行动非常重要,特别是因为不能排除未来出现大流行病的可能性。关键词:COVID-19大流行非正式性企业生存披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1参见https://reliefweb.int/report/zambia/zambia-situation-report-6-july-2020.2参见https://www.theigc.org/blog/one-year-on-zambian-economy-during-covid-19/.3参见https://bfaglobal.com/covid-19/insights/zambia-msmes-during-covid-19/.4一些专家认为,即使有了疫苗,群体免疫也可能无法实现,因为流行的病毒有不同的变体https://theconversation.com/covid-19-herd-immunity-its-not-going-to-happen-so-what-next-165471.5国际统计标准对非正规部门就业和非正规就业进行了区分。后者是本文中的利益概念,指的是与工人工作相关的雇佣关系和保护(Bonnet et al., Citation2019)除因新冠肺炎调整产量、销售额下降百分比和来自后续数据的结果变量外。COVID-19的繁殖率来源于Our World in Data (Ritchie et al., Citation2020)。本研究由开放社会基金会(OSF)和威特沃特斯兰德大学南方不平等研究中心(SCIS)资助。经济利益:作者声明无经济利益。数据可用性:本研究分析的数据集可在世界银行企业调查存储库中获得,https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/survey-datasets。

ABSTRACTExisting literature highlights the complexities of the relationship between voting, protest action and service delivery within Southern African democracies. We explore the relationship between these variables for South Africa by generating a new dataset from various sources. Although this relationship has been explored before, the existing evidence is mixed. The results from this study therefore bring a fresh perspective, especially at a time during which the political power of the incumbent African National Congress has been declining. We find that improvements in service delivery are not significantly associated with an increase in votes for the incumbent party, indicating that accountability is not the main motivation for South Africans’ voting decisions. However, we find a statistically significant negative correlation between protest action and service delivery, providing evidence of the increasing importance of protest action as a form of political accountability in South Africa.KEYWORDS: Accountability‌electionspolitical participationprotest actionpublic service deliveryJEL CODES: D72H11H41H50 AcknowledgementsThe authors wish to thank Derek Yu, Servaas van der Berg, and participants at the Research on Socio-Economic Policy (ReSEP) seminar series for valuable inputs.

(Bekker, Citation2022:232). There is also evidence to suggest that this number increased since 2013 (see: Runciman et al., Citation2016; Powell et al., Citation2015)2 The inert and predictable nature of voting outcomes, accompanied by electoral imbalances in the party system have raised concerns that elections fail to act as an accountability mechanism, which evokes deeper concern about the quality of democracy (Schulz-Herzenberg, Citation2009:2).3 The ANC has not always been the dominant party incumbent in all municipalities for local elections.4 Poisson regressions provide a standard framework in the analysis of count data. In reality however, it is often found that count data has a higher incidence of zero counts than is expected for the Poisson distribution.
现有文献强调了南部非洲民主国家投票、抗议行动和服务提供之间关系的复杂性。我们通过从各种来源生成新的数据集来探索南非这些变量之间的关系。虽然这种关系之前已经被探讨过,但现有的证据是混杂的。因此,这项研究的结果带来了一个新的视角,特别是在现任非洲人国民大会的政治权力一直在下降的时候。我们发现,服务提供的改善与现任政党的选票增加没有显著关联,这表明问责并不是南非人投票决定的主要动机。然而,我们发现抗议行动与服务提供之间存在统计学上显著的负相关,这证明抗议行动作为南非政治问责的一种形式越来越重要。关键词:问责制、选举、政治参与、抗议行动、公共服务提供感谢作者谨感谢Derek Yu、Servaas van der Berg和社会经济政策研究(ressep)系列研讨会的参与者提供的宝贵意见。弗兰斯曼感谢国家研究基金会(NRF)和社会经济政策研究(ReSEP)的资金支持。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 1997年至2013年期间,南非平均每天发生14起以上的抗议活动。(Bekker Citation2022:232)。也有证据表明,自2013年以来,这一数字有所增加(见:Runciman等人,Citation2016;投票结果的惰性和可预测性,以及政党制度中的选举不平衡,引发了人们对选举不能作为问责机制的担忧,这引发了对民主质量的更深层次的担忧(Schulz-Herzenberg, Citation2009:2)在所有的地方选举中,非国大并不总是占主导地位的执政党泊松回归为计数数据的分析提供了一个标准框架。然而,在现实中,经常发现计数数据的零计数发生率高于泊松分布的预期。

ABSTRACTWith mega state housing projects needing large land parcels and that are often located in the periphery, this paper investigates what impact relocating residents to Golden Gardens housing development has had on the quality of life and their financial wellbeing. Using primary data obtained from residents living in the Golden Gardens housing development, the findings show that respondents’ access to and quality of physical and social facilities, such as refuse services, water, and electricity, has improved. Respondents were also unanimous that staying in their Golden Gardens homes has significantly improved their security. However, many residents currently living in Golden Gardens used to live closer to work and social activities than they do now, which means that they used to spend less each month on transport than they do now. The high-commuting cost has increased household expenses, meaning that the respondents’ financial wellbeing has been negatively impacted. These results imply yet unmet long-term objectives of human settlements as envisaged in various government policies and programmes.KEYWORDS: State-subsidised housinglived experiencesQuality of life (QoL)financial well-beingGauteng provinceSouth Africa AcknowledgmentsThe author acknowledges Khaka Nonyongo, Mendrick Maluleke, and Musa Sambo for fieldwork assistance.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
【摘要】由于大型国家住宅项目需要大片土地,而且往往位于郊区,本文研究了将居民搬迁到黄金花园住宅开发项目对他们的生活质量和财务状况的影响。利用从居住在黄金花园住宅开发项目的居民那里获得的原始数据,调查结果表明,受访者对诸如垃圾服务、水和电等物理和社会设施的获取和质量有所改善。受访者还一致认为,住在金色花园的房子里大大提高了他们的安全性。然而,许多目前居住在黄金花园的居民过去住得比现在离工作和社交活动更近,这意味着他们过去每个月在交通上的花费比现在少。高昂的通勤成本增加了家庭开支,这意味着受访者的财务状况受到了负面影响。这些结果表明,各项政府政策和方案所设想的人类住区长期目标尚未实现。关键词:国家补贴住房生活经历生活质量经济状况豪登省南非致谢作者感谢Khaka Nonyongo, Mendrick Maluleke和Musa Sambo的实地调查协助。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

ABSTRACTClimate change adaptation concerns mechanisms for responding to local climate change impacts to improve livelihoods of and decrease risks to affected stakeholders. In this article, we present evidence and novel insights from selected climate change adaption cases studies in Sub-Saharan Africa, shared directly by climate change practitioners. Our aim is to foster awareness and comprehension for local, national and transnational actors, enabling better decision-making, project implementation and policy design. To achieve this we describe and assess positive spillovers and negative externalities of climate change adaptation. Building on our collection of case studies, we focussed on classifying adaptation projects according to a set of typologies identified by the researchers. To further explain the typology classification related to the occurrence of (un)intended (side) effects, we identified factors that may enable sustainable adaptation scenarios based on lessons shared about the investigated projects. These systems are based on existing political economic research on the state-of-the-art ‘4E’– method (representing enclosure, exclusion, encroachment, entrenchment) evident in the literature and case study applications, which we adapted to fit our research questions. The factors include collaboration across scales, data availability and learning, bottom-up involvement/participation. We also formulated the positive counterpart of each of the four E dimensions. One finding was that the category lose-win, where the intended goal was not achieved, yet a positive spillover occurred, would be more likely to emerge with the factors ‘bottom-up participation’ as well as ‘learning across scales’ being present.KEYWORDS: Adaptationmisfits due to maladaptationresiliencesocial-ecological systems (SES) as complex adaptive systems (CAS)vulnerability AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge funding from the first Southern African Young Scientist Summer Programme (SA-YSSP) via the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria and the National Research Foundation (NRF) / Department of Science and Technology (DST), South Africa as well as the travel fund from the German IIASA-National Member Organization (NMO), the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI).

摘要气候变化适应关注的是应对局部气候变化影响的机制,以改善受影响利益相关者的生计并降低风险。在本文中,我们从撒哈拉以南非洲选定的气候变化适应案例研究中提供证据和新见解,由气候变化从业者直接分享。我们的目标是提高地方、国家和跨国行动者的认识和理解,以便更好地决策、项目实施和政策设计。为了实现这一目标,我们描述并评估了气候变化适应的积极溢出效应和消极外部性。在我们收集的案例研究的基础上,我们重点根据研究人员确定的一组类型学对适应项目进行分类。为了进一步解释与(非)预期(副作用)发生相关的类型学分类,我们根据所调查项目的经验教训确定了可能实现可持续适应情景的因素。这些系统是基于现有的政治经济学研究中最先进的“4E”方法(代表封闭、排斥、侵占、堑壕),这些方法在文献和案例研究应用中很明显,我们对其进行了调整,以适应我们的研究问题。这些因素包括跨尺度协作、数据可用性和学习、自下而上的参与/参与。我们还制定了四个E维度的正对应。其中一个发现是,在“自下而上的参与”和“跨尺度学习”的情况下,更有可能出现“双赢”类别,即预期目标没有实现,但积极的溢出效应发生了。关键词:我们感谢第一届南部非洲青年科学家暑期项目(SA-YSSP)通过奥地利国际应用系统分析研究所(IIASA)和国家研究基金会(NRF) /科技部(DST)提供的资金。南非以及来自德国iiasa国家成员组织(NMO)阿尔弗雷德-韦格纳研究所(AWI)的旅行基金。此外,我们对访谈参与者深表感谢,并非常感谢他们在本研究议程中投入的时间。由NRF、DST和IIASA资助的首届南部非洲青年科学家暑期项目(SAYSSP) 2012/2013。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 https://www.unep.org/regions/africa/regional-initiatives/responding-climate-change.2 https://www.unccd.int/our-work/ggwi.3 https://sunfarming.de/en/blog/tag/africa.4同样,在全球北方,Pijnappels & Dietl (Citation2013)提供了来自欧洲的适应行动的好例子非洲的重点是由当地的南部非洲青年科学家暑期计划(YSSP)确定的,该计划导致所有受访者都来自非洲国家,并特别关注南非。与国际应用系统分析研究所(奥地利)的合作增加了国际视野,并有可能在它们以前在非洲范围内的工作的基础上继续发展。项目4题为“多尺度适应气候变化和社会-生态可持续性-模块1:复杂社会-生态系统中的适应措施挑战非洲的可持续性”(另见项目提案的补充资料)访谈结果决定了案例研究的数量和国家背景。因此,确定的案例研究来自南非的九个不同地区,四个来自纳米比亚,埃塞俄比亚、塞内加尔、博茨瓦纳、津巴布韦、赞比亚、莫桑比克、多哥和塞舌尔各有一个案例研究。一个全球性机构的显著特征是它具有超越大陆边界的全球影响力,并且具有广泛的代表性,例如联合国环境规划署(UNEP)。相比之下,一个国际机构的影响范围可以跨越国界,而只限于几个大陆案例研究中相关类别与某些因素的存在或不存在之间的相关性在在线附录中有详细说明。9 https://lorenzofioramonti.org/books/.10其他替代的经济方法包括去增长、后增长、增长、甜甜圈和生态经济学,所有这些都是根深蒂固的限制——在上面的列表中,我们举例说明了考虑社会和替代价值归因机制的经济原则在我们的案例研究中,包容性是双向的,例如赞比亚的基层学习和保险公司的学习过程Richard Munang也提供了几个案例研究。 2018年13日更新:西开普省至少两年的严重干旱,加上基础设施维护和资源管理不善,导致水资源分配完全中断,并从几个地点进行管理。14 https://patternsofcommoning.org/patterns-of-commoning-how-we-can-bring-about-a-language-of-commoning/.15德语原文可从http://mustersprache.commoning.wiki/view/welcome-visitors/view/felder-des-commoning获得(3个类别的英文翻译)(1)社会团结(2)同伴(在平等的基础上)自组织(3)关心和自主的经济活动。16 http://web.unep.org/evaluation/terminal-evaluation-unep-undp-project-climate-change-and-development-adapting-reducing-vulnerability17 http://staging.unep.org/climatechange/adaptation/GANNetwork/CCDARE/tabid/29582/Default.aspx.18 https://www.cosmolocalism.eu/。

ABSTRACTThis paper traces the development of spending reviews from their origins in a set of budgetary innovations in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s – notably zero-base budgeting (ZBB) and Planning, Programming and Budgeting Systems (PPBS) – to their application internationally for budget management and fiscal consolidation. Spending reviews have been successfully developed and applied in mostly advanced economies but, because they rely on advanced tools of fiscal analysis and established public financial management systems, their application in low- and middle-income countries is more limited. Many countries use spending reviews to identify budgetary savings or to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the government's spending policies and programmes. The reviews can either be comprehensive or target specific programmes or areas of spending. Finance ministries are the cornerstone of an effective spending review process, which requires strong analytical skills and tools, as well as reliable data. Line ministries also play a key role and good use can be made of external experts. Political oversight and good governance are fundamental to success, but countries have followed a variety of models in designing their spending review processes; simpler approaches are available for countries with low capacity.KEYWORDS: Spending reviewszero-based budgetingbudgetary savingsefficiencyeffectivenessfinance ministries analytical tools and skills AcknowledgementThis article draws on material presented at a workshop on ZBB organized by the South African National Treasury in January 2021.

摘要本文追溯了支出审查的发展,从20世纪50年代和60年代美国的一系列预算创新——特别是零基础预算(ZBB)和计划、规划和预算系统(PPBS)——到它们在预算管理和财政整顿中的国际应用。支出审查已在大多数发达经济体成功地发展和应用,但由于它们依赖于先进的财政分析工具和已建立的公共财政管理系统,因此在低收入和中等收入国家的应用较为有限。许多国家利用支出审查来确定预算节余或提高政府支出政策和方案的效率和效力。审查可以是全面的,也可以针对具体的方案或支出领域。财政部是有效支出审查程序的基石,这需要强大的分析能力和工具,以及可靠的数据。各部门也发挥关键作用,外部专家也能得到很好的利用。政治监督和良好治理是成功的基础,但各国在设计支出审查程序时遵循了各种模式;能力较低的国家可采用更简单的方法。关键词:支出审查、零基预算、预算节约效率、财政部分析工具和技能确认本文借鉴了南非国家财政部于2021年1月组织的ZBB研讨会上提交的材料。作者要感谢研讨会的组织者,感谢Julien Dubertret, Gerhard Steger和Sami Ylaoutinen的介绍,以及两位匿名审稿人对文章早期版本的有益评论。免责声明本文所表达的观点仅代表作者的观点,并不一定代表基金组织、其执董会或基金组织管理层的观点。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1对于公共部门,配置效率是指政府提供的公共产品和服务的组合,代表了社会最期望的组合。1 .生产效率意味着,在现有资源和技术的情况下,不可能在不减少另一种服务产出的情况下增加任何公共服务(如教育或卫生)的产出有关“基线支出”概念和中期基线估算方法的进一步信息,请参见Rahim和Wendling, Citation2022.3参见,例如,https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/274711479159288956-0290022017/originial/GuidanceNoteonValueforMoney.pdf4本节借鉴了南非国家财政部关于ZBB历史的有益论文(Citation2020)德州仪器公司是一家总部位于美国德克萨斯州达拉斯市的科技公司,主要从事半导体和各种信息技术设备的设计和制造一个非营利性、无党派的研究组织,通过研究和分析帮助改进政策和决策制定7 .从技术上讲,这是一部关于预算法的宪法章程(2001年关于财政的组织法,通常被称为《预算章程》)联合王国和澳大利亚是产生多年基线预测的国家的例子(见Rahim和Wendling, Citation2022)自2017年以来,《南非中期预算政策声明》每年都将基于支出审查方法对薪酬趋势进行详细分析。经合组织正在根据最新数据编制一项新的支出审查调查,但综合结果尚未公布国库支出审查方法。这包括六个阶段:政策和制度分析、逻辑分析、绩效指标分析、支出分析、成本建模以及报告和行动计划由于2019冠状病毒病大流行,与通常的多年度框架相比,2020年审查仅涵盖一年例如,参见H.M.财政部,2021年秋季预算和支出审查,以及2022年秋季报表。

ABSTRACTThis study examines patterns and trends in household food security in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, from 2010 to 2019. We use data from a household panel nested in the Agincourt Health and Socio-Demographic Surveillance System. Findings indicate that there have been improvements in household food security in this rural setting over the last decade. By polychoric principal component analysis, an aggregate food security index was constructed and we observed a small, yet important, proportion of households (7.8%) that remained chronically food insecure. An ordered probit model was used to estimate the determinants of food security. Findings reveal that the observed differences in household food security status are as a result of differences in socioeconomic status. We therefore recommend that focus must be placed on identifying economic opportunities and empowering the chronically food insecure households if universal household food security is to be attained in rural South Africa and beyond.KEYWORDS: Food availabilitydietary diversityfood accessfood securityrural households AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to the respondents, field staff and management of SAMRC/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit, School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa for their respective contributions towards the collection and production of the data used in this study.

摘要本研究考察了2010 - 2019年南非姆普马兰加省Bushbuckridge地区家庭粮食安全的模式和趋势。我们使用的数据来自阿金库尔健康和社会人口监测系统中的家庭面板。调查结果表明,在过去十年中,这一农村地区的家庭粮食安全状况有所改善。通过多元主成分分析,构建了一个总体粮食安全指数,我们观察到一小部分家庭(7.8%)长期处于粮食不安全状态。使用有序概率模型估计粮食安全的决定因素。研究结果表明,观察到的家庭粮食安全状况差异是社会经济地位差异的结果。因此,我们建议,如果要在南非农村及其他地区实现普遍的家庭粮食安全,就必须把重点放在确定经济机会和赋予长期粮食不安全家庭权力上。作者感谢受访者、现场工作人员和南非威特沃特斯兰德大学卫生科学学院公共卫生学院SAMRC/威特沃特斯兰德农村公共卫生与健康转型研究单位的管理层,感谢他们各自为本研究中使用的数据的收集和生产所做的贡献。这项成功的研究是在国家研究基金会、ACCESS和世界农林业中心的资助下进行的。这项研究间接得到了英国威康信托基金(资助085477/Z/08/Z)、南非医学研究理事会和南非科学与创新部通过南非人口研究基础设施网络(SAPRIN)对阿金库尔HDSS运行的资助或支持。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究是公共社会生态系统(SUCSES)可持续性研究的一部分,由南非国家研究基金会(NRF)和气候与地球系统科学应用中心(ACCESS)资助。威康信托基金通过支持阿金库尔健康和人口监测系统提供了间接支助(赠款085477/Z/08/Z)。该研究还受益于科罗拉多大学人口中心(项目2P2CHD066613-06)提供的研究、管理和计算支持,该中心由尤尼斯肯尼迪施莱弗国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所资助。

The development of a spending review methodology in a developing country context 在发展中国家范围内制订支出审查方法

ABSTRACTThis article discusses the spending review methodology developed in the South African government. A typical spending review combines a deep institutional and policy evaluation with extensive expenditure analysis and cost modelling. The article discusses how, in the context of a developing country, the spending review methodology had to adapt to local conditions, such as constraints around political and institutional autonomy and cooperation, the skills level of government officials, data availability and communication around a reform agenda. The article outlines how, in responding to these challenges, the South African spending review methodology developed a six step modularised approach that standardised the methodology and provided clear guidance to civil servants, consultants and political leadership.

摘要本文讨论了南非政府发展起来的支出审查方法。典型的支出审查将深入的制度和政策评估与广泛的支出分析和成本建模结合起来。本文讨论了在发展中国家的背景下,支出审查方法如何适应当地条件,例如围绕政治和机构自治与合作的限制、政府官员的技能水平、数据可用性和围绕改革议程的沟通。文章概述了在应对这些挑战时,南非支出审查方法如何制定了六步模块化方法,使方法标准化,并为公务员、顾问和政治领导提供了明确的指导。这使得一个复杂的分析过程得以在公共部门广泛采用,对发达国家和发展中国家都具有方法论价值。关键词:支出审查公共财政管理改革发展中国家南非预算改革披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1事实上,在227项支出审查中,只有一个案例的部门反对调查结果。制定计划,不要抱怨2000年,财政部和国家支出部合并为国家财政部。4在南非财政部,政府间关系、公共财政和预算办公室的部门组成预算组;预算小组相当于大多数其他财政部门的预算办公室。5有一个部门提出了反对,但他们无法提供任何真实的数据来支持他们的立场,而且这种反对被视为纯粹的意识形态,与分析没有任何联系局长是政府部门的最高职位,他们是一个部门的会计主管。这相当于英国体制中的常任秘书南非宪法法院听证日期:2021年8月24日判决日期:2022年2月28日全国教育、卫生和联合工人工会及其他人诉公共服务和行政部长及其他人。南非民主教师工会和其他组织v公共服务和行政部门和其他组织。公务员协会等诉行政长官等。全国公务员工会诉公务员行政长官等。有条件现金转移支付21/21;有条件现金转移支付28/21;有条件现金转移支付29/21;这不包括直接向财政部资产负债管理(ALM)部门报告的大型国有企业。

A typical spending review combines a deep institutional and policy evaluation with extensive expenditure analysis and cost modelling. The article discusses how, in the context of a developing country, the spending review methodology had to adapt to local conditions, such as constraints around political and institutional autonomy and cooperation, the skills level of government officials, data availability and communication around a reform agenda. The article outlines how, in responding to these challenges, the South African spending review methodology developed a six step modularised approach that standardised the methodology and provided clear guidance to civil servants, consultants and political leadership. This has allowed a sophisticated analytical process to be widely adopted in the public sector and could be of methodological value to developed and developing countries alike.KEYWORDS: Spending reviewpublic finance management reformsdeveloping countrySouth Africabudget reform Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 And indeed, in only one case out of 227 spending reviews did the line ministry object to the findings.2 ‘make a plan – do not complain’.3 In 2000, the Departments of Finance and State Expenditure amalgamated to form National Treasury.4 In the South African Treasury, the divisions of Inter-Governmental Relations, Public Finance and Budget Office forms the Budget group; the Budget Group is equivalent to a Budget Office in most other Departments of Finance.5 There was one department that objected, but they could not provide any real data to support their position and the objection was seen as purely ideological and not linked to the analysis in any way.6 Director-General is the most senior post in a government department and they function as the accounting officer of a department.
