Implementation of Performance-Based Budgeting in Local Government Agencies: A Case Study

Project Abstract

Performance-based budgeting (PBB) is a strategic approach that focuses on linking funding decisions to the performance outcomes of governmental programs and services. This research explores the implementation of PBB within local government agencies through a comprehensive case study analysis. The study aims to investigate the challenges, benefits, and implications of adopting PBB in the context of local governance. The research methodology involves a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with key stakeholders and quantitative data analysis of budgeting processes and performance metrics.
