7. Concluding remarks (contd.)
The data producers appear to be quite content with the present status quo
of fiscal data MoF must play a proactive and lead role
-
To bring forth some much needed improvement, there is a need of a big
push from the demand side, particularly on the part of policymakers
including the elected public representatives - at present it is led by data
analysts
The non-state actors i.e. CSOs and media need to maintain their demand
Best use of existing resources such as the iBAS++ has remained untapped
To carry out data related activities, adequate dedicated personnel will
need to be deployed in the MoF
To ensure data harmonisation and consistency, inter and intra-agency
coordination needs to be strengthened
There is no institutional mechanism or data protocol to ensure timely
delivery of accurate and accessible fiscal data
