Project Abstract

Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the impact of performance-based budgeting on government accountability and efficiency in public administration. The adoption of performance-based budgeting has gained prominence in recent years as a mechanism to enhance the transparency, accountability, and efficiency of government spending. This study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by examining how the implementation of performance-based budgeting influences government accountability and efficiency in public administration. The research will be conducted using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques. The study will involve the collection of primary data through surveys and interviews with key stakeholders in public administration, including government officials, policymakers, and citizens. Additionally, secondary data sources such as reports, publications, and case studies will be reviewed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Chapter 1 of the research will provide an introduction to the topic, background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definitions of key terms. Chapter 2 will consist of a comprehensive literature review covering ten key themes related to performance-based budgeting, government accountability, and efficiency in public administration. Chapter 3 will detail the research methodology, including research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the methodology. The chapter will also discuss the theoretical framework guiding the study and provide a rationale for the chosen research approach. In Chapter 4, the research findings will be presented and discussed in detail. The analysis will explore the relationship between performance-based budgeting, government accountability, and efficiency in public administration. The chapter will highlight key findings, trends, and patterns emerging from the data, and provide insights into the implications of the study results for public policy and practice. Chapter 5 will conclude the research with a summary of the key findings, implications for theory and practice, recommendations for future research, and a conclusion that ties together the research objectives and outcomes. The chapter will also discuss the significance of the study in advancing knowledge in the field of public administration and provide practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners. Overall, this research aims to contribute to the understanding of how performance-based budgeting can enhance government accountability and efficiency in public administration. By examining the impact of this budgeting approach, the study seeks to provide valuable insights that can inform policy decisions and improve the effectiveness of public sector management practices.
