The Water Partnership Program (WPP) funded five Public Expenditure Reviews (PERs) on a regional scale in Central and West Africa. Sierra Leone lacked comprehensive datasets on subsector financing. Data gaps in these fragile states often prevent development professionals and policy-makers from understanding the impact of significant investments and policy decisions. The PERs are providing the knowledge base necessary for donors and governments to discuss public expenditures more broadly. They are enabling policy discussions geared toward meeting national sector goals by providing reliable and updated financial information that is often difficult to collect in areas affected by conflicts
