Presenter Abstract There are some reasons to think that important key elements of a performance-based budgeting methodology have already become a part of planning mechanism for public expenditure management in Ukraine. At the same time, there still remains the issue of linking budget expenditures to specific results achieved by specific budget programs. This defines the necessity of applying modern approaches to managing M&E. The study will present an analysis of the current state of M&E in Ukrainian public expenditure program management at the national level. The current legal base of performing M&E will be analysed in order to understand whether it delivers a sufficient base for using M&E in practice. The actual practice in using M&E tools at the level of national executive bodies like Ministry of Finance, main budgetary spending units, State Control and Audit Office with regard to basic phases of budgetary process will be evaluated and some solutions of existing problems detected in course of this analysis will be offered.
