What this index measures:
Whether money allocated to this area actually reaches the people it was meant for. We look at both how much of the budget was spent and the quality of what that spending delivered. Spending 95% of a budget on projects that do not function scores lower than spending 80% on things that actually work — functioning health facilities, repaired roads, stocked schools.
Technical definition:
Measures the efficiency of resource delivery from budget allocation to frontline service availability. Covers budget absorption rates adjusted for audit quality, functional facility rates in health, education, and water, and service continuity indicators.
How to read the score: Accounts for the quality of expenditure, not only absorption volume. High absorption with high audit irregularities scores lower than moderate absorption with clean audit.
Primary data sources: National treasury budget execution reports, audit institutions, health information systems, education management systems, community monitoring submissions.
