Abstract
There is relatively little literature that analyses the r ole , functions, and organization of finance ministries. The purpose of this working paper is to review international experiences in this area, in an effort to formulate guiding principles of organizational design and the allocation of functions , while reco gnizing th e crucial importance of each country’s history and institutional context. O ver the past 30 years m any f inance ministries have moved from a “traditional” to an “emerging ” model of organizational design in which there is greater openness and transp arency , more flexible management practices , and a broader f ocus on strategic policy issues . In addition, many operational functions have been devolved to arm’s – len gth agencies or line ministries. T he paper describes the challenges facing developing countri es in strengthening their finance ministries , and the principles, approaches , and strategies that can be applied.
