Enhancing Policy Impact through Impact Evaluation November Seminar

Evaluation of Governance:
A Study of the Government of India's Outcome Budget by

Dr. Anand P. Gupta

Director, Economic Management Institute

In 2005, the Government of India launched an initiative called Outcome Budget to change the culture of measuring performance in terms of the amount of money spent against budgeted allocations to a new culture of measuring their performance in terms of outcomes delivered to the people. But according to Dr. Anand Gupta, the Outcome Budget failed in achieving this objective.

This failure could offer important lessons for the proposed Independent Evaluation Office being set up by the Government of India. The assumption behind setting up an Independent Evaluation Office is that the policy makers in India want to evaluate the impact of public interventions, to understand "what works?," "under what conditions does it work, for whom, what part of a given intervention works, and for how much?" so that they may use these insights when adapting and implementing public interventions in the future. But given the failure of the Outcome Budget initiative, is the assumption correct and will the Independent Evaluation Office be able to make any visible difference to development effectiveness in India?
