A Roundtable Discussion in the Stryi Raion of Lviv Oblast
27 March 2014
IBSER experts took part in a roundtable discussion on the Results of Execution of the Stryi Raion 2013 Performance Program Budget, which was held in the city of Stryi, Lviv oblast, on 27 March 2014. The roundtable was attended by the representatives of key spending units of the raion budget and NGOs.
The results of execution of raion’s budget based on the Performance Program Budgeting method were discussed at the meeting.
The Stryi raion was one of the first to launch a pilot on PPB implementation in local budgets. All the key spending units of the raion budget have mastered the PPB methodology fully and carry out evaluation of efficiency of budget programs. Based on this evaluation, the raion leadership take appropriate management decisions. In particular, the roundtable participants have discussed the performance of the Culture Department. The analysis of performance of the Library program has made it possible to optimize the staffing of raion’s libraries.
Special focus was made on the results achieved thanks to implementation of energy saving activities, which provided real savings of budget funds.
Based on the roundtable results proposals have been made for improving the methodology for local-level Performance Program Budgeting. The key proposals consist in the need of amending the Standard Lists of Budget Programs and Their Performance Indicators by department. This primarily applies to the Education and Culture departments.
