Old budget (before 2010):
Important management-related information missing –
Parliament needs more information for political decisions
Only input and no output orientation (written results): Who
gets how much, instead of what has to be the outcome?
From 2010 on:
No long-term, legally binding budget management or long-
term preview
Not reflecting general government
Big- sized, non flexible budget structure; lack of transparency,
too many data?
Bigger Picture missing: What do we want to achieve
with the budget? MOTIVATION?
What was the problem in connection
DS to PBB?
Challenges
How to evaluate big decisions?
Collecting meaningful data
Designing user-friendly IT-Tools
Increasing accountability
and awareness
evaluation and foresight
Political decision
based on the analysis?
Ex ante assessment of
alternatives before
decision
PBB is a step towards...
»Programme budget«:
(1) is a new way of thinking about public planning;
(2) is not a theoretical construction only, but also an actual manner of drawing up the budget;
(3) is referred to by various names, the literature makes a difference between outcome budgeting and performance budgeting;
(4) has an actual impact on decisions regarding the allocation of funds to competitive state users – agencies, ministries and programmes;
(5) represents a victory of a theory over (budget) processes up to the point where impacts/benefits and their corresponding costs define how an X amount of funds should be allocated to A and B activities.
Changes in monitoring and
implementation, as well as
a bureaucratic apparatus?
• IMPACT indicators are used at the highest level of general targets. They measure the impact of a set of measures; they are long-term indicators. Target values are determined four times a year / or for the periods covered by the National Programme of Development Priorities (NPDP) or the Slovenian Development Strategy (SDS)
General targets of individual policies
• In the general, specific targets of individual documents are achieved with a time lag as far as results are concerned, therefore indicators are wider-oriented (as a specific target is not affected by measures only, but other factors as well). For this purpose, OUTCOME indicators are determined. Target values are determined four times a year / or for the periods covered by the NPDP or the SDA
Specific targets of individual policies
• RESULT indicators – applied when measuring and aggregate impact of individual outputs at the level of measures and projects (result contains related measures or projects.) Target values are determined four times a year / or for the periods covered by the NPDP or the SDS
Results – collected measures and projects within the
framework of sub-programmes
• Effects of measures and projects are measured by the OUTPUT (outcomes which are evident as soon as measures/projects are completed). Target values are determined yearly.

To introduce outcome orientation
Support priority setting and allocation of resources
Strengthen accountability & transparency

Adaptability is not all you need to succeed; it is inherently reactive and relies on luck.
Implementation strategy is what you need—and if you don’t have one, you will become part of someone else’s....
