  3. INTRODUCTION Multi-Donor Budget Support (MDBS) is the name given to general budget support in Ghana. General budget support consists of Development Partners (DPs) transferring financial resources directly to the Government treasury to complement Government’s own domestically generated revenues and facilitate the implementation of the national budget and its associated public expenditure plans. The MDBS group in Ghana is made up of the following eleven(11) DPs: the African Development Bank, Canada, Denmark, the European Commission, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, UK and the World Bank.

  4. 2002 - START OF NEGOTIATIONS AFTER CG MEETING In 2003 Ghana signed a framework memorandum(FM) with nine DPs to govern the budget support operations Each year GOG and DPs negotiate and agree on a Policy Action Framework (PAF) document. This document sets out how government will be assessed within the coming year. It outlines the policy actions that government agrees to undertake as part of its growth and poverty reduction process. In July 2008, a new FM was signed this time including eleven DPs in support of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II(GPRS II). The FM provides the guiding principles for implementing budget support. BACKGROUND Presented By DABONE ATTA SNR: Head, GRANT/MDBS, MoFEP, Ghana

  5. OBJECTIVES OF MDBS The primary objective of MDBS is to provide additional and predictable financial resources to implement the poverty reduction initiatives of the Government in a : 1.Harmonized manner= to avoid parallel systems & a lot of missions and bilateral consultation. 2. Using country systems= to avoid high transaction cost 3.Designing and executing development policies= in line with GOG priorities 4.and fostering domestic accountability and transparency= Improve PFM Presented By DABONE ATTA SNR: Head, GRANT/MDBS, MoFEP, Ghana

  7. HOW MDBS WORKS Policy Dialogue: GOG & DPs meet at the Sector Working Group level (SWG). CD of MOFEP co-chair this meeting. There 15 SWGs • Progress Assessment Framework (PAF): Discussions in the SWGs result in policy reform measures and specific growth and poverty reduction objectives drawn from the GPRS II being jointly agreed as MDBS targets. All of the targets from the SWGs are collated in a matrix or framework, called the PAF. Targets are meant to be results-oriented, time-bound, specific, measurable, realistic and are achievable. Assessment/Review: Every year, usually in May, DPs and Government assess progress against the PAF. The outcome of this assessment informs the disbursement decisions of DPs. Organisation: The MDBS group is currently made up of 11 DPs. This group is jointly chaired by the World Bank and an annually revolving DP. There is also a vice co-chair, who will assume the DP co-chair position after a year. The current DP co-chair is Switzerland, with Canada taking the position of vice co-chair.

  19. THE CHALLENGES GOG loses a large proportion of expected ODA if it fails to meet agreed performance criteria. DPs on the other hand give up significant individual visibility than under their respective development. • Further reducing the transaction cost. • Improved implementation of policy actions • Better ownership of the process by all government agencies • How to get the remaining donors to sign on.

  20. THE FUTURE OF THE MDBS More efficient Public Financial Management System (PFM) to merit increase in quantum of resources through the MDBS. Presented By DABONE ATTA SNR: Head, GRANT/MDBS, MoFEP, Ghana

  21. CONCLUSION Since its inception, MDBS has contributed approximately USD 2 billion to the Government of Ghana budget The MDBS constitute about thirty percent (30%) of total donor inflow to Ghana. The remaining seventy percent (70%)is project type funding, sector wide assistance(SWAP) and basket type funding. There is no doubt that the MDBS mechanism is a significant improvement in aid delivery. Programme aid is a preferred option for any recipient country and when is harmonized it is even better.
