Current Budgetary System
• The current budgetary system of the country is a mixed system
– Block Vote Budgeting
• Cabinet of Ministers approves the block vote budget
• MOF fixed ceilings for sectors, line Ministries
(Recurrent + Capital)
• Flexibility is given to line Ministries to decide their budget
within the ceiling
– Programme Budgeting
• Cluster based
• Expenditure Head, Programmes, Projects, object code
10
Current Budgetary System- contd.
– Performance Based Budgeting
• Medium-term Budgetary Framework
• Vision, Mission and KPIs for each line Ministry have
identified. However, linkages between these outcome
indicators and actual budget figures are still weak.
– Line Item Budgeting
• Expenditure figures are available for administrative and
monitoring purposes
Incremental Budgeting
• Add more for last year accruals
