15 | Integrating the Current and Development Budgets. A Concept Paper | This note examines whether the existing procedures for preparing the current and development budgets in Pakistan are likely to achieve an optimal result in terms of resource use and, if not, how procedures might be improved with a view to achieving more effective resource use. The scope of this note is largely confined to the experience of the ministries of Health and Population Welfare. The general conclusion is that the major problem of integrating current and development in the Health sector is not the classical problems of separation of capital and non-capital budgets. While elements of such a problem exist the major difficulties seem to be poor vertical differentiation between programme responsibilities of different levels of government and, indeed, between different programmes of the federal government. Problems of horizontal integration between current and development spending within the same level of government exist at federal level but are not dominant. | 41 | 128 Kb |
