The pilot regions of the Municipal Finance Strengthening Initiative project, effectively implemented by IBSER with support from USAID, have completed the approval process for their local budget programs for the year 2009.
Therefore, all the city, rayon, and oblast budgets (except the republican budget of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea), which are included in a list of the Ukrainian regions participating in the pilot intended for local-level PPB implementation have approved their programs in the sectors of Education, Healthcare, and Housing and Communal Services totaling Hr 1.7bn.
A total of 134 programs have been approved, including 74 programs in Education totaling Hr 946.4mn and 48 programs in Healthcare totaling Hr 714.9mn. Also, budgets for the city of Luhansk and its districts based on Performance Program Budgeting have been drafted and approved in general. The city of Dzhankoy, Crimea, and the city of Luhansk and its urban districts have approved 12 programs intended for development of infrastructure and housing and communal services totaling Hr 42.4mn.
All the programs are intended to achieve specific targets through implementation of individual tasks in the indicated sectors and contain performance indicators, which would allow monitoring the scope and quality of services provided. Implementation of these programs would make it possible to significantly improve the efficiency of using the public funds and ensure the transparency of their utilization.
Active efforts are currently underway with regard to structuring and reviewing the performance indicators for the approved budget programs.
