  2. Fiscal Space—Definitions: IMF: Fiscal space is the room in a government’s budget that allows it to provide resources for a desired purpose (i.e. Education Sector Plan) without jeopardizing the sustainability of its financial position, or the stability of its economy. UNDP: Fiscal space is the financing that is available to government as a result of concrete policy actions for enhancing resource mobilization, and the reforms necessary to secure the enabling governance, institutional and economic environment for these policy actions to be effective, for a specific set of development objectives.

  4. Fiscal Space Analysis Tool: The Diamond • I. Domestic Resource Mobilization: Includes taxes, royalties, other nontax revenues, and privatization receipts. Key indicators are ratios to GDP, progressivity, and impacts on growth and poverty alleviation. • II. External Support: Includes grant aid such as FTI funds, and debt relief and cancellations. Key indicators are aid predictability and dependence, modality, coordination and effectiveness. • III. Deficit Financing: Includes net domestic finance (arrears and impacts on private sector development), and net foreign finance (indebtedness and long-term sustainability). • IV. Re-prioritization & Efficiency of Public Expenditures: Includes difficult and politically-sensitive trade-offs across sector (health, education, social protection, security and public order, and infrastructures, etc.), investment versus recurrent expenditures, luxury versus pro-poor expenditures, procurement and financial management, minimizing corruptive practices, etc... • The 22 selected FTI developing country partners are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Moldova, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Tajikistan, The Gambia, Yemen, and Zambia.
