In recent years, emphasis has fallen increasingly on revenue-related issues. This study evaluates PSI services, principally from the perspective of user governments. It concludes that while PSI can be of significant benefit, the realization of those benefits depends crucially on appropriate contract design and the determination of governments to make the system work. Since PSI addresses administrative and institutional shortcomings in user countries, PSI programs should be accompanied by sustained reform efforts that will create the conditions for phasing out reliance on the service.
