Towards a Flemish performance budget

Dutch speaking chamber on September 17, 2024

Since its vision statement in 2016, Flemish government has been moving towards a budget that links resources deployed to performance to be achieved. The Court of Audit examined this development and the quality of the performance information in recent budgets and accounts. It found that important steps towards performance-informed budgeting were taken during the 2019-2024 legislature, but that the integration of performance information in policy and budget documents is still in its early stages, and that these documents still provide insufficient insight into what the government exactly does and what resources are available.
