English Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Natural resources are scarce and the need for these resources is growing. As a result, there
is a need to utilise these resources in an efficient manner to achieve the government's social
and economic goals and objectives. However, the traditional budgetary system as applied in
the government, mainly satisfies two objectives only; control and accountability. Therefore,
there is a need to modify the current budgetary system to meet, in addition to control and
accountability, other objectives such as measurement of efficiency and effectiveness.
Program Budgeting (PB), which is budgetary system that focuses on the purposes of
government activity and the efficiency and effectiveness of that activity, is described and
evaluated. Despite PB's major advantages, it has failed in all countries that applied it because
of the weaknesses that are inherent in this type of budgetary system.
Furthermore, the traditional budgetary system, as applied by Ministry of Education (MOE)
was evaluated. Finally, an alternative budgetary system was introduced and performance
indicators were developed and applied to MOE expenditure for the years 1988, 1989 and
1990. The proposed budgetary system is a mixture of both the traditional budgetary system
and PB system.
