Federal Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery 2014 – 17 Government of Pakistan Finance Division Islamabad Preface The Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery set out in this document have been prepared under the Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) for the Federal Government. The Budget Estimates for Service Delivery (BESD) which are referred to as the “Green Book” is an endeavor to specify the purposes i.e. output and outcomes expected to be achieved with funds appropriated by Parliament. The Green Book provides supplementary information to the Details of Demands for Grants and Appropriations – the so-called “Pink Book”, which sets out the details of the budget by accounting budget line according to the functional and object classifications of the Chart of Accounts. The key elements of Green Book are: • 3-year framework for budgetary planning which lies at the heart of the MTBF reforms. Under this process ministries make their plans and prepare budgetary estimates for a rolling 3-year budgetary horizon. This includes the 2014-15 estimates, which are to be appropriated by Parliament, and two additional or “outer” years estimates (in this case 2015-16 and 2016-17) for planning purposes. • Breakdown of each ministry’s budget by “Outputs”. Outputs represent major lines of service delivery of each ministry. Each ministry identifies its main lines of service delivery and the costs associated with the delivery of each main line of service, down to the level of the individual spending unit. This would enable Parliament and other stakeholders to assess whether value for money in terms of delivery of services is being achieved. • Linkage of service delivery with total budgetary allocations for each Ministry / Division (current and development). As the government budget is divided between the recurrent budget and development budget, the delivery of outputs and outcomes requires a combination of allocations through the recurrent budget to meet the operations costs and development budget to meet cost of expansion of access to services or improvement of the future quality of public services. • Development of indicators, which should be used for measuring the quantity and quality of services (outputs) to be delivered. The Green Book also provides targets for the levels of services, which the ministries and divisions are expecting to achieve. Budgetary preparation based on specified outputs/services, provides a basis for monitoring of the results expected from public spending. • Identification of outcomes that represent effects of service delivery on the target population. Outcomes are often more difficult to measure than outputs and are typically measured less frequently. I hope that this document would be of value in terms of describing the linkage between budgetary allocations and the public services delivered.

The presentation in the document, also known as the MTBF “Green Book” has been improved this year. The following key improvements have been made: 1. The budget is presented by Ministry / Principal Accounting Officer (i.e. the executing agency). In order to present reconciliation with the Demands for Grants and Appropriation, the budget for each Principal Accounting Officer is also shown by Demands for Grants. This method of presentation allows enhanced understanding of policy priorities (services or outputs) and the related budgets. For example, in the book “Demands for Grants and Appropriations” the budget for Higher Education Commission is part of the Demands shown in the Finance Division. The MTBF “Green Book” shows the same budget but mentions it under the Principal Accounting Officer – i.e. the Executive Director of Higher Education Commission. A reconciliation between “Demands and Grants and Appropriations” and MTBF “Green Book” is also shown with each Principal Accounting Officer separately. 2.
