At the macroeconomic level, it describes the external economic constraints and opportunities that will drive growth and revenue mobilization over the medium term and determine the likely fiscal envelope (chapter one). It next reviews the institutional structures that guide and ensure appropriate resource allocation and assesses the strength and weaknesses of the current systems using a standardized public expenditure and financial accountability scoring system (chapter two). It then assesses how public expenditure has been allocated between sectors and priorities (chapter three).
