Recent Budget Reform Measures However, there is still shortcomings in the current budgeting: The budget provides little information about what the budget is spent on Recurrent budget is on the whole an incremental line item budget approach developed within a one year horizon Hence for a new budgeting process: The gov’t has opted to introduce program budgeting moving from line item budgeting to program based budgeting through which activities and their associated expenditure will be categorized according to the intended outputs.

The budget must move from an input to an output focus. … cont’d Aim is to improve the allocation of resources to strategic priorities and strengthen expenditure management. The budget must move from an input to an output focus. Program budget requires. The existence of strategic planning Formulation of vision, mission and objective of each public body Defining programs with objectives and outputs

Advantage of Program budgeting Program budget tend to present more useful information on service delivery Allows for transparency and accountability in service delivery More useful for: Determining whether allocations reflect priorities Planning the delivery of services Monitoring the use of resources with each program Identifying areas where savings can be made or where more funds are needed.

Program budgeting … At Federal Level 20 ministries are selected to test the program budgeting system. Training was given To understand the features & characteristics of program budget. To compare program budgeting with traditional line item budgets To understand the advantage and disadvantage of program & line item budgeting

… cont’d Remaining tasks Finalizing the program budget procedural manual and preparing of the training module, and training of staff will continue to implement the reform Full implementation of program budgeting at federal level Rollout to federal regions
