In 2003, the MTBF was initiated by the Ministry of Finance with the establishment of MTBF concepts, a roll-out strategy, procedures and formats.
| Phase I (2003 - 2006): |
| Pilot Stage - technical studies, establishment of key concepts and strategy. |
 |
2005/06, Ministries of Health and Population Welfare. |
|
|
2006/07, Ministries of Education, Food, Agriculture & Livestock, Women Development. |
MTBF Phase I introduced some significant reforms.
These included preparation of 3-year forward estimates; identification of services delivered by spending units; and the development of a dedicated software package to support preparation of the MTBF.
MTBF Phase I focused only on the ‘bottom-up’ component of the reforms and only on the recurrent budget.
| Phase II (2006 - 2009): |
| Implementation Stage – consolidation and further rollout. |
|
2007/08, 10 further ministries, bringing total number of MTBF ministries to 15. |
|
|
2008/09, 10 further ministries, bringing total number of MTBF ministries to 25. |
|
|
2009/10, Across the federal government, bringing total number of federal ministries to 52. |
During Phase II, the MTBF reforms are being widened to encompass the ‘top-down’ component, strengthen further the 'bottom-up' component, and incorporate the development budget.The MTBF was rolled-out to 52 federal ministries during the budget year 2009/10. Federal ministries prepared their budgets (recurrent budget only) and forward estimates under the guidance of budget preparation ceilings issued by the Finance division and a ‘Medium Term budget estimates for Service Delivery (Green Book)’ was produced.
The budget preparation ceilings were produced through the ‘Top Down’ process using the Medium Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) and Budget Strategy Paper (BSP).
| Phase II Extension (2009 - 2011): |
| Implementation Stage – consolidation and further rollout. |
MTBF Phase II Extension will focus on strengthening the budget preparation processes under MTBF by implementing the ‘Top Down’ component prior to budget preparation and support strengthening the ‘Output Based Budgeting’ (already rolled out to 56 division) in the federal line ministries for the budget year 2010-13.
The ministries will also be encouraged to undertake a brief ‘Ministerial Reviews’ to ensure that the budget preparation for 2010/11 builds on and incorporates lessons from the experience of budgetary management in 2008/09 (the last year for which full-year data is available) and, to a lesser extent, experience with the current budget year, of which only one quarter is completed.
Monitoring of the planned activities is of pivotal importance in order to ascertain the effort for meeting the desired results. The ‘Monitoring Guidelines’ have been developed and is now under review by the ministry of Finance and Planning Commission. These guidelines will be implemented in the federal line ministries so that the senior management of the ministries is able to monitor its targets set in the preceding budget year.
During Phase II extension, MTBF related training will be institutionalized in the established civil services training institutions. Also a ‘Budget Preparation Manual’ has been produced to guide the key stakeholders in their budget preparation.
