MTEF Stage 3<br />

The Debt and Aid section of the MoF cocoordinates<br />

aid through consultations<br />

with donors. All donor aid is supposed to<br />

be processed through MoF.<br />

MTEF Stage 4<br />

The resource committee reporting to the<br />

CCE determines sector allocations of<br />

resources and advises the ministries and<br />

department of ceilings and available<br />

resources according to the M<strong>PRSP</strong> and<br />

PPEs.<br />

MTEF Stage 5<br />

Line ministries prepare expenditure<br />

estimates and discuss them with MoF.<br />

Often donors fund of projects off- budget. Line<br />

ministries have incentives to make agreements<br />

about projects outside of the national priorities<br />

because projects make funds available <strong>for</strong> staff<br />

allowances, vehicles etc.<br />

The MTEF process should prioritise social sectors.<br />

But when budgeting starts, no ministry is able to<br />

declare activities non-priority. PPEs are not location<br />

specific and they tend to be spent by politicians<br />

in areas were they intent to make a political impact.<br />

This is especially evident in the construction of<br />

boreholes and maintenance of feeder roads.<br />

Allocation not based on M<strong>PRSP</strong> but criteria that<br />

pragmatically responds to political interests, and<br />

the reality of inadequate funding.<br />

Many projects are started with<br />

and depend on donor funding.<br />

The failure to keep conditionalities<br />

result in withholding of<br />

funds which derails the budget.<br />

The government resorts to borrowing<br />

to keep paying salaries<br />

and obligations.<br />

The final budget allocations are<br />

not related to ministries’ proposals,<br />

or to the M<strong>PRSP</strong> prescribed<br />

allocation.
