Abstract
Public sector reforms aimed at making the public sector efficient in provision of goods and services has been
around since the world financial crises of the 1980s that resulted from the unprecedented surge in oil prices and the
collapse of centrally planned economic systems of the eastern bloc. These reforms have been characterized by adoption
of prudent management of resources through introduction of financial and non-financial controls. One of the key pillars
of public sector reforms is the introduction of performance contracting. This paper critically looks at studies conducted
on the subject identifying consensus among scholars and controversies as well as gaps that exist in the literature on the
subject. Though performance contracting has received positive reception, it is evident that its implementation has not
been without challenges.
