For the PRSP process to bear fruit in this attempt, it needs to have an impact on budgeting processes and resource allocation. Although this is a long-term endeavor, it is useful to examine the evidence so far. This session highlighted evidence from a series of case studies on the interaction between the PRSP process and the budget, as a basis for discussion. The five studies, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Vietnam and Tanzania aim to assess the extent to which public finance management and budget allocations reflect the principles and content of the PRSP, hence providing insights into progress in PRSP implementation. The cases also shed light on whether the PRSP process itself has fostered more accountable, efficient and pro-poor budget processes and allocations. The session was facilitated by Vera Wilhelm, Senior Economist in the World Bank’s Poverty Reduction Unit. The case studies and findings were presented by Jeni Klugman, Lead Economist for the Bank’s Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Sector Unit and Rosa Alonso Terme, Senior Public Sector Specialist.  RELATED MATERIALS   Poverty Reduction Strategies and PRSP Participation and Civic Engagement in Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP) RELATED B-SPAN EVENTS Economic Development (414) Poverty (258) RELATED WORLD BANK LINKS Bolivia: Poverty Reduction Strategy: Achievement and Challenges Improving Prospects for PRSP Implementation
