Activity: Support for Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) for Social Protection
The ILO is supporting the implementation of the first PETS for social protection in Malawi. The process tracks the flow of resources in the sector, to identify “leakages” budget gaps, and track how much of the resources invested reach the intended purpose – i.e. The beneficiaries.The PETS will inform where are the critical resource bottlenecks in the sector, how effective are the processes in use (in particular, how the different implementation modalities perform against each other). The data collection and cleaning has been conducted. The data is being analysed and the report drafted. Government is leading this process, and the intention is to run a similar process in 2021, led by CSOs to compare results and provide civil society with the tools to continue tracking expenditures in the sector.
