Purpose |
To propose a series of Public Expenditure Notes for Ortland |
Primary reader |
Sector manager, country manager |
Reader’s main question |
Why should we undertake these notes, and what specifically are you proposing? |
Main message (Answer to Reader's main question) |
The Public Expenditure Notes proposed are important at this stage in Ortland's history. Fiscal space continues to be limited, so the Public Expenditure Notes will address just four areas: public-sector pay, public expenditure, social spending, and the parastatal sector. |
