Issues for Discussion on Macro and Budgeting for MKUKUTA PER Macro and PFM groups Dar es Salaam, November 25 PRBS ANNUAL REVIEW PRBS DP group - Tanzania
Focus of the presentation • Background material presented at the PER consultations: • Rapid Budget Analysis • Policy Note on budget execution • PEFA 2008 report • Report on IFMIS, and PEFAR background reports on parastatals. These highlight both the strengths and weaknesses • This presentation focuses on problematic areas to prompt a discussion about solutions
What are the expectations on both sides in terms of levels & composition of foreign aid?
What is the GoT strategy in terms of MKUKUTA budget shares overthe medium term? (Percentage shares of Mkukuta Expenditure)
How to ensure that the MTEF is consistent with key sector priorities? In primary and secondary education, 2008/09 allocations don’t fully fund the capitation grants of 10,000 and 30,000 shillings per enrolee respectively.
What is going to be done to control the proliferation of allowances?
What has been the experience with sector performance report in relation to the budget?
Are there plans to carry out full PETS more systematically across service delivery sectors, following the example of education? At the LGA level, the execution actually measures releases from the central government to LGA, and not actual spending. It is therefore important to have more information on actual releases at the service delivery level, for instance through the regular use of such instrument as Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys.
