The purpose of the Joint Country Case Study (JCCS) of Namibia’s programme-budgeting reform was to reflect on the reform journey and to share information on the experience for the benefit of peer countries that are considering, implementing or optimising such reform. The study also formed part of a growing body of knowledge that CABRI continues to develop on broader budget reforms sweeping across the continent, which are aimed at promoting and sustaining economic development through good public financial governance.

The research was conducted by a team of experts, consisting of senior budget officials from the ministries of finance of Botswana, Kenya and Sierra Leone, along with an independent consultant, and Emilie Gay from the CABRI Secretariat.
