Series Information
A Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) is a diagnostic tool used to study the flow of public funds from the center to service providers. It has successfully been applied in many countries around the world where public accounting systems function poorly or provide unreliable information. The PETS has proven to be a useful tool to identify and quantify the leakage of funds. The PETS has also served as an analytical tool for understanding the causes underlying problems, so that informed policies can be developed. Finally, PETS results have successfully been used to improve transparency and accountability by supporting "power of information" campaigns.
PETS are often combined with Quantitative Service Delivery Surveys (QSDS) in order to obtain a more complete picture of the efficiency and equity of a public allocation system, activities at the provider level, as well as various agents involved in the process of service delivery.
While most of PETS and QSDS have been conducted in the health and education sectors, a few have also covered other sectors, such as justice, Early Childhood Programs, water, agriculture, and rural roads.
In the past decade, about 40 PETS and QSDS have been implemented in about 30 countries. While a large majority of these surveys have been conducted in Africa, which currently accounts for 66 percent of the total number of studies, PETS/QSDS have been implemented in all six regions of the World Bank (East Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa).

Abstract
In spite of the country's continuing high level of poverty and low rate of economic growth, health outcomes had greatly improved over the last couple of decades. These improvements were not the result of a particularly high level of public spending, which averaged 2.8 % of GDP in 1990-1997. Rather, the advances in health results were due to the relative effectiveness of the public sector's primary health programs. In recent years the main emphasis in health had been on expanding coverage in primary services.
This study quantified the discrepancies between the budgetary and actual assignments of staff and analyzed the degree of attendance at work. Unlike other PETS, the unit of analysis was the sector staff (both operational and administrative staff from all levels) instead of the facility.
805 employees in 32 health facilities were surveyed.
