Each system stands alone!!!
Current Condition Implementation of Unified Budget : • Unifying Routine and Development Budget; • Unifying budget documents (planning) • Unifying budget documents (implementation) • Unifying implementing unit: project unit/office to spending unit; • Improving type of expenditure classification • Introducing chart of accounts based on GFS Great success
Implementation of MTEF: • Setup macro economic assumptions to perform medium term fiscal framework (MTFF); • Setup tax ratio, deficit target, revenue target, expenditure limit to formulate medium term budget framework (MTBF); • Put the figures produced in Financial Notes since 2008 budget. Still away from targets
ANALYSES • Concepts, Regulations ok • Implementation ?: • Lack of agency leadership commitments • Lack of coordination among agencies, since agencies vary in comprehension • Fiscal policy, in some extent, was not linked to agency budget • Cabinet is ready, some agencies are not
Some Challenges: Medium Term Expenditure Framework: • Setup baseline; • Determine the parameters; • Formulate 3-year forward estimates; • Forward estimates adjustment; • Strategic review of Policy/Program.
Performance-Based Budget : • Restructure the programs; • Determine the outcomes and outputs; • Formulate measurements (performance indicators for programs and outputs); • Develop costing methodology (model); • Simplify the operational/running cost components; • Define standard cost or indexation; • Flexibility arrangements; • Performance Review technique.
Strategic Issues: • Level of agency autonomy is to be improved • Budget Documents are to be simplified • Legislative & Executives imbalance • Huge amounts of units (both central & local)
Let start!! a. MTEF Context : • Continued; • Terminating; • Lapsing. Existing Govt. Policies Review • Continued; • Lapsing; • New Policy.
