Introduction
A credible budget system requires, an effective and politically anchored mechanism to decide on and fund priorities. i.e having to use the budget as a tool to deliver the national agenda.
Strengthening the link between Governments policy priorities and public expenditure is one of the key objectives of MTEF budgeting

MTEF Process 2006/07
Comprehensiveness of the Budget:
This will involve shifting the focus from line item level to comprehensive analysis of policy priorities. This will be done through the Ministerial Public Expenditure Reviews (MPERs) which will be the key input to the sectoral reports.

MTEF Process continued
Deepening the participation of the stakeholders in the key decision making stages of the budget. This will be achieved through the Sector Working Groups and the Public Sector Hearings.
Strengthening continuity between overlapping years ( the budget year and the two forward years) by ensuring that projects/activities that are ongoing are considered while projecting the outer years.
