This research analysed how the public expenditure management as practiced in the District Assemblies of Ghana affect service delivery. The research adopted a mixed-method research approach where qualitative and quantitative data were gathered using questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis. Multistage sampling was used to pick the respondents for the questionnaires, key interview informants and the participants in the focus group discussions. Thirty four out of 170 district assemblies which existed by 2008 were sampled. Participants in the study included 612 District Assembly (DA) officials, 1020 citizens, 28 national/regional officials and 20 participants in focus group discussions. Quantitative data, measured by using scaled-items, were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression while qualitative data were examined thematically. The study established that expenditure management practices had positive significant influence on service delivery. The study recommends that, the DAs should prioritize expenditures to key service delivery areas such as; those that enhance poverty reduction, improve on Human Capital index and strengthen Innovations practices. DAs should strengthen electronic, automation and appropriate technologies for better expenditure management and service delivery. There should be laws to ensure stiffer penalties and enforcement of sanctions on those involved in malpractices in public expenditure management practices, while persistent efforts are made to implement recommendations of Auditor General’s reports on DAs expenditures management practices.

The paper looks at the evolution of operational research in civil departments of the United Kingdom government against the growing realization in the post-war period of the value of numerate methods for the development of policy over a widening area of government activities. It discusses the thinking about such methods which lay behind the Plowden Report of 1961 and ‘Control of public expenditure’ and the Fulton Report of 1968 on ‘The Civil Service’. It acknowledges the contribution made by the Joint Conference with industrial and university representatives at Nuffield College, Oxford, in 1969. It traces the establishment of new operational research groups in the Treasury and the larger departments. Accounts are given of certain of the larger interdepartmental studies, including pioneering work on aspects of transport. An outline is suggested of the future application of operational research in civil administration, and of the problems to be overcome in securing the greatest possible advantage from it.
