From Harvard Kennedy School Insight
Interview with Stephen Peterson
Lecturer in Public Policy
Faculty Chair of the Executive Program in Public Financial Management
Reforming Public Financial Management in Developing Countries:
“In public financial management reform in developing countries, I think what’s important to remember is that modest improvements can have significant effects. … A modest strategy of evolutionary improvement ensures that the systems work while the reform is in place and they can evolve, eventually, to fairly sophisticated reforms. But you don’t move to sophisticated reforms overnight.”
