This promotes transparency and accountability for public resources as well as increased performance through budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation of the programs. Under the National Development Plan (NDP III), Government adopted a programme approach to planning, budgeting, implementation and results reporting. This involves a Programme Based Budgeting structure where the programmes appear above the votes so that accountability for results can be tracked at programme rather than at the sector levels. As the Government embarks on planning for Financial Year 2023/24, this Ministry has deemed it necessary to refresh and enhance the capacity of Officers who are key drivers of the planning process within Government with the main objective of improving public sector budgeting and planning, in line with the requirements of NDPIII, for efficient service delivery. The capacity enhancement training is aimed at; i. Equipping the planners with the skills, knowledge and ability ‘resources 30.0 0 achieve the most rapid and sustainable economic growih and developmentiii, Increasing awareness of the relevance of the public sector in delivering services; iv. Enhancing capabilities to navigate through the Program based Budgeting System (PBS) platform for results; and v. Contributing towards a culture of productivity and improved performance management.
