Budget Act 2001, Section 6 (1) Vote Functions Since the FY2008/09 budget cycle, the preparation of sector BFPs, Ministerial Policy Statements and Budget Estimates centre around the notion of Vote Functions. A Vote Function is a set of programmes, projects, and Local Government Grants, defining the roles and responsibilities of a vote/institution, and contributing towards the attainment of vote and overall sector objectives. As such, a Vote Function provides detailed information on centralised services, by capturing allocations to Central Ministries and Stand Alone Votes, and decentralised services funded via grants to Local Governments Structure The Ministerial Policy Statement is split in two main sections; Section A, which provides an overview of performance and plans for the Ministry, Central Votes and local governments and Section B, which provides past performance and future plans for each Vote Function in detail, in addition to Cross Cutting and other Budgetary Issues. • Section A: Ministry and Vote Overview This section provides an overview of past performance and future plans, firstly for the Ministry and then for each Central Vote and Local Governments, where relevant. It sets out key details, including strategic priorities for the coming year. • Section B: Past Performance and Future Plans By Vote Function This
