The "Good Practices for Public Environmental Expenditure Management (GPPEEM)", published by OECD in 2003, can be applied to all public agencies managing environmental expenditure programmes. The GPPEEM provide guidance on how to design and implement public environmental expenditure programmes in line with the sound principles of public finance. They outline rules, procedures and organisational frameworks that are acceptable for Ministries of Finance and international donors. The Good Practices provide specific checklists for measuring to what extent a public environmental financing institution aligns with the sound, internationally-recognised standards for such institutions. The performance of programmes and institutions is measured along three dimensions: environmental effectiveness, fiscal prudence and management efficiency. To guide the OECD member-states in improving the management of their public environmental expenditure programmes, in 2006, the OECD Council adopted the GPPEEM as Council Recommendation.
