Mechanisms for Managing Public Environmental Expenditure in Selected OECD Countries

Publication: Report
Citation: OECD, 2006: "Mechanisms for Managing Public Environmental Expenditure in Selected OECD Countries“, Paris: OECD Publishing.

This OECD-report analyses selected public expenditure programmes supporting environmental investments in water supply and sanitation in four OECD countries (Austria, Belgium, France and the German New Länder) with the goal of illustrating a variety of possible institutional arrangements for the management of water sector public expenditure programmes in transition economies.

The study focuses on mechanisms for managing government assistance in the environmental sector at both, national and sub-national levels and applies the OECD-developed ‚Good Practices for Public Environmental Expenditure Management (PEEM)‘ as an assessment framework. The framework highlights such issues as institutional set-up, revenue sources, transparency and has been designed to aid countries in implementing and reviewing public environmental expenditure programmes. The study provides for a hands-on application of the principles and thus demonstrates their practicability.

Following their evaluation, "lessons learned" for OECD non-member countries will be drawn up. All results will be published in a study.
