Priority Budget Development for Government

Identifying Program Outcomes

In priority-based budgeting (PBB), budgets are structured to track line items based on program or activity. Traditional budgets track line items based on departmental expenses like postage and paper, making it difficult to understand where each line item belongs. Priority budgeting identifies specific programmatic outcomes and goals that align with the government’s priorities.

PBB Platform Overview

Tying Requests to Outcomes

PBB provides a program budget template that links departmental budget requests to defined program outcomes. Each request includes detailed information on how the proposed funding will contribute to optimal outcomes.

Allocating for Enhanced Results

The resulting budget reflects the benefits of the PBB approach. By allocating funding for new staff, training, tools, and other resources, PBB enables the organization to better track and be held accountable for their results, fostering transparency and improved resource management.

Allocate funding appropriately.

Identify the most critical programs and align resources with community priorities for optimal outcomes using performance metrics and outcome-based evaluations.

Track funding within the organization.

Establishe clear performance metrics and outcome-based indicators for each program, and use these to measure program effectiveness and initiative impact over time.

Track outcomes of each funded initiative.

Utilize a structured, data-driven process to conduct ongoing evaluations and assess whether the program is achieving its intended goals and impact.

Priority-based budgeting automatically calculates the amount and percentage of the budget identified for reallocation in a predicted model. This vital capability optimizes opportunities and empowers governments to make informed budgetary adjustments effortlessly, efficiently, and transparently.
