Public sector organizations increasingly rely on performance-based budgeting to allocate resources more effectively. Under this approach, agencies must demonstrate measurable outcomes tied to their spending requests. A 2023 survey by the OECD found that 74% of member countries had adopted some form of performance budgeting, up from 51% in 2010. Proponents argue that linking funding to results promotes accountability and reduces wasteful expenditure. Critics, however, contend that not all government services lend themselves to quantitative measurement, particularly those involving long-term social outcomes such as education or public health.
