Mauritius has implemented Programme-Based Budgeting [PBB] at all ministries and departments, as a key public sector reform. This chapter assesses the adoption and implementation of PBB. Using a survey that covers 22 ministries and departments, this study finds set-backs in the training of staff involved in the new system, with some progress in large ministries where there is now greater public accountability, better monitoring of projects and a rise in efficiency. PBB may not have met all expectations and there is certainly room for improvement, but it constitutes a major step forward in comparison with oldfashioned input budgeting.
