Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS) and Quantitative Service Delivery Surveys (QSDS) are two diagnostic tools used to identify inefficiencies in public service delivery. PETS trace the flow of public resources (funds, human and in-kind) from original to the destination and determine the location and scale of anomaly, and QSDS survey the efficiency of service provision. In this presentation Delius Asiimwe, of the Kabano Research and Development Centre, discusses both methodologies, including similarities and differences between the two, the types of questions each can answer, and the potential impacts they can have.
