This study examines the effectiveness of PETS in improving budget implementation from 2011 to 2015, focusing on their role in reducing financial mismanagement and ensuring that allocated funds reach their intended beneficiaries.

These findings highlight the importance of PETS in enhancing fiscal responsibility, but also emphasize the need for stronger institutional frameworks, increased public participation, and further technological integration to maximize efficiency. The study recommends policy reforms to strengthen governance, expand digital tracking adoption, and encourage citizen engagement in budget monitoring. Future research should explore the role of artificial intelligence in automating PETS for enhanced transparency. </span></p> |
