Abstract/Description
The World Bank extensively used the SPEED tool, as well as PIM researchers’ expenditure analysis, to generate insights in a 2017 book (“Reaping Richer Returns”) which informed development policy operations in several African countries, most notably Mali, Malawi, and Zambia. The evidence emanating from the use of SPEED also influenced systematic country diagnostics in Togo, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. Findings from the book resulted in the Ugandan Ministry of Finance changing allocations to agriculture to address inefficient agricultural spending.
