Reimagining Public Finances: Making Public Resources Work for Development Outcomes
The conference will bring together leading government reformers, practitioners, researchers, and development partners to share insights and discuss the future direction of public finance reforms. The ‘Reimagining Public Finances’ initiative aims to rethink public financial management reforms to ensure that they are designed and implemented in a way that best supports governments’ fiscal and public policy objectives and the achievement of development outcomes.
The conference will be based on three key questions:
- Why reimagine public finance? A reflection on lessons learned over the last 25 years of public financial management reform.
- What is the role of public finance in achieving development outcomes and what are the key bottlenecks that prevent this from happening?
- How can these bottlenecks be addressed in practice to unlock the potential of public finance?
The conference will provide the opportunity to engage on these questions, drawing from the first phase of research and global consultation and interacting with a proposed outcome-led approach for future public finance reforms.
