Performance-Informed Budgeting in Flanders
On Monday, March 4, the “Performance-Informed Budgeting in Europe: Recipes for Success in Flanders” conference took place at the Palace of the Academies. This conference was organized in the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. A special, insightful and inspiring afternoon where numerous high-profile experts from home and abroad came to share their insights.
Best kid in the class
In recent months, the OECD has been scrutinizing the Flemish path to a performance-informed budget.
During the conference, Alfrun Tryggvadottir (OECD) presented the results of this study. These showed that Flanders is among “the best kids in the class.” But … what is good can always be better. So, she also gave recommendations for the future.
Afterwards, experts Debby Vos of the Court of Audit, Elva Bova of the European Commission and Wouter Van Dooren of the University of Antwerp reflected on those results and recommendations.
Across borders
In the second part of the conference, we looked across borders and got valuable insights from Estonia, Spain, Denmark and France. Finally, Koen Algoed shared his key takeaways.
