By committing themselves to funding nationalprograms according to ANDS priorities,international community will ensurethat their assistance is leveraged to bringstability to the government planning cycle.The integrated approach to planning andimplementation will ensure that prioritiesand potential synergies (across nationalprograms as well as across the public/privatesector divide) are identified atthe planning stage and utilised to developcontext-specific approaches. The integratedapproach will also set the conditionsfor external budget funds to be moreeasily aligned to the ANDS; if the capacityto design and deliver national programs issuccessfully increased, the proportion ofassistance delivered through the externalbudget will begin to decline.Figure 10.4. Annual Budget Formulations and Execution ProcessA forward-looking partnership between Afghanistanand the international community isneeded to ensure external aid is managed inline with the ANDS and recommendations ofthe Paris Declaration. The implementation ofthe ANDS will depend upon the donors to implementmore programs and projects throughthe Core Budget. As afore-mentioned , effectiveimplementation will require that thoseprograms and projects funded through the ExternalBudgets and the PRTs be aligned withANDS priorities. Finally, this approach willalso require: (i) enhanced Government ownershipof the development process; (ii) more effectivepublic expenditure management; (iii) anincreased focus on outcomes and service delivery;(iv) greater harmonization between Governmentand donor policies, and (v) more mutualaccountability between the Governmentand the international community.The Government’s current approach is basedon programmatic budgeting. This will helpensure the Budget is realistic; based on sectorstrategies; has measured and unambiguousbudget management guidelines that reflect improvinggovernment capacities; involves keystakeholders (including sub-national bodiesbased on provincial development plans); istransparent, with relevant, accurate and timelyinformation provided to decision makers, includingthe National Assembly and the publicat large; and accountable through internal andexternal audits.Control of on-budget resources is beingstrengthened through fundamental reforms of170Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)
the Public Finance Management (PFM) system,including procurement, accounting, reporting,auditing, and other systems of accountability.The ANDS presents the strategic orientationwithin which future resource utilization will bedetermined. Specific emphasis will include:Strengthening aggregate fiscal discipline:Government will aim to (i) increase therevenue to GDP ratio; (ii) reduce the ratioof operating expenditures to revenues, and(iii) make progress according to fiscal targetsestablished through the MTFF.Enhancing resource allocation and utilizationbased on strategic priorities: Currently,the Ministry of Finance uses programbudgeting in key sectors and ministries.This activity will expand to includeall ministries, which will significantly supportthe integrated approach. Budgetaryproposals will be examined on the basis oftheir alignment to the ANDS policies. Specificcriteria to the following elements willneed to be met:• Rationale: Does this project require publicsector finance? Does the project directlyaddress poverty reduction, economicgrowth or contribute to easing tensions inthe communities? Does the project addresscross-cutting issues such as gender?• Cost-effectiveness: Have multi-year costimplications (sustainability) and the leastcostalternative been identified, includingthrough competitive bidding?• Benefit-cost: Have the benefits (includingeconomic, social and environmental) beenquantified and do they exceed the costs? Isthe rate of return on expenses sufficient tojustify expenditure?• Risk mitigation: Do project managementcapacities exist to allow successful projectimplementation within the time frames?Have risks been identified and are they acceptable?Supporting greater efficiency and effectivenessin the delivery of services: TheGovernment will expedite the procurementof services, labor and supplies.Implement Sector Wide Approaches and NationalPrograms 59 : The success of these sectoralframeworks will depend on an appropriateenabling legal frameworks, institutionalcapacity, infrastructure, human resources,technical assistance, finance, baseline data anddata management systems, risk managementstrategies, and standard audit and PFM procedures.Further integrate existing trust funds andPRTs into the budgetary process: Efforts willcontinue to incorporate the Afghan ReconstructionTrust Fund (ARTF), Law and Order TrustFund (LOTFA) and the Counter NarcoticsTrust Fund (CNTF) into the budgetary process.This will ensure these trust funds contribute tothe effectiveness of broader sector wide approaches.To the maximum extent possible,appropriations will be made through the treasurysystem.Integrate budgetary processes with cabinetlevelpolicy-making and legislative planning:The linkages among policy-making, planningand budgeting will be strengthened to promotemore results-based performance management.Medium-term expenditure priorities will receiveexpedited treatment in the cabinet policymakingand legislative processes. Program andprovincial budgeting will provide multi-yearbudget proposals which integrate recurrentand capital expenditures. These processes willalso integrate the Provincial DevelopmentPlans (PDPs) and address any provincial orregional imbalances.Tracking of poverty related spending: Evaluatingthe effects of public spending on povertyreduction will be enhanced by introducing thesystem of tracking of poverty related spendingwithin the framework of the future monitoringmechanism. The JCMB Secretariat will takelead on this in cooperation with the MoF, CSOand line ministries.59 In particular, a well-defined and operational PRS is a prerequisitefor the development for the proposed Sector Wide Approaches(SWAPs). SWAPs involve all stakeholders (includingGovernment, donors and NGOs) committing to using their resourcesin the sector only through the Sector Investment Program(SIP). SWAPs are considered by Government to be a tool fordonor co-ordination, to reduce the administrative burden of theindividual project approach to donor funding and ensure thatthere is a unified strategy for the sector, with no overlapping orcontradictory activities by different actors.Implementation Framework 171
