Underlying problems for
performance budgeting
• No policy assessment tradition in the ministries
• Availability and quality of data
• Strategic planning framework not developed
• Focus on one calendar year
MTBF should function before performance budgeting
• Detailed line item budget kept, including
Treasury controls based on the same details
• Operational managers in line ministries without
financial responsibility – lack of accountability
