2014 Health Budget - Quote• Osahon Enabulele, Former President, Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA) said that “with about 80 percent of the proposed 2014 budget earmarked for recurrent expenditure, Nigerians should not expect much from the health sector”.

Basic Budget Classification• Revenue and Expenditure
-Revenue is made up of oil and non oil sources
• Components of the expenditure include:
- Recurrent = Personnel and Overheads - Capital
![Page 9: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHAT IS BUDGET ANALYSISBudget analysis: a set of ways or systematic
steps, which communities can use to examine and understand different aspects of the budget in comparison to the norms of good budget and its implication on their lives and environment.
![Page 10: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why do we Analyse the budget?– Participation: Were citizens actively involved in the
budget process, from formulation to evaluation?– Accountability: Are government officials and politicians
open to scrutiny on what, when, and how they spent public money?
– Transparency: Is the budget process open to the people; documents available to the public; followed a legal, public and acceptable procedure?
– Accuracy: Can the budget revenue and expenditure meet the demands it plans to meet?
![Page 11: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why do we Analyse the budget?Equity: Is the budget fair in the distribution of resources,
especially to disadvantaged and vulnerable groups?Efficiency: Does the budget planning and
implementation ensure value for money?Timeliness: Is the extent to which the budget was
implemented within the defined time frame?

Basic Analysis for Advocacy
Calculating the share of the budget
Sector/Total X 100
Share of the budget is best represented in percentage
![Page 13: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Calculating rate of increaseThe rate of increase/decrease can be determined thus:
(Spending in Year 2– Spending in Year 1)/(Spending in Year 1)
84,474,126,708 - 86,104,997,060/86,104,997,060 =
0.02The budget decreased by 0.02%

Per Capita Spending
Analysts and advocates often adjust budget data on a per person or per capita basis to allow comparisons between countries or between states.
Per capita spending is obtained with the population and amount spent variables. The equation is as follow:
Spending/Population= Per Capita Spending
Total Health budget for 2014 /3million people = N X annuallyN8,000,000,000/3,233,366 = 2,474
![Page 16: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Calculate Ratio:
• Purpose: To measure the frequency of occurrence of a budgetary allocation over another eg.
= Sector B Sector A• E.g, Ratio of Works to Health = Works
Health
• 21,819,000,000 = 2.73 8,000,000,0001 part of health :3 parts of works
![Page 17: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Adjusting for inflation (Real Figures)
Nominal Amount Real amount = Deflator
•N8000,000,000/1.12 = N7,142,857,142.86
Calculating the Deflators Deflator = Price index of Current Year
Price Index Base Year
Deflator = Inflation Rate + 1 = (12/100)+1 = 1.12 100
![Page 18: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nominal Vs Real
We need to distinguish between Nominal and Real values in analyzing budgets because an increase in a nominal allocation may be offset by a higher inflation rate. Budget information in nominal terms does not tell us whether the real value of the allocations has increased, decreased or remained the same.

Community Scorecards
• This a participatory community-based approach for assessing government services or facilities by grading them according to a range of scores
• It draws different stakeholders into discussion with the aim of finding out:- whether inputs promised for a service or facility have actually
reached the frontline- How community members grade the performance of that
service or facility- How frontline service providers themselves grade their own
performance or that of their facility- What can be done to overcome problems at a facility and
improve service delivery
![Page 21: Health and budget analysis for civil society](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558a46f9d8b42aa2368b45a7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Main steps in a community score-card process
Preparation (collecting information and mobilizing support (1)
Community gathering (raise awareness about commitments and standards). (2)
INPUT SCORECARD To track inputs like funds and medicines to a service site (3)
Establish focus groups (4)
Develop input indicators (5)Collect
evidence on inputs (conduct site visits if appropriate (6)
Interface meeting (8)

Community Score card
Challenges- Success depends on good facilitation to ensure group
discussions stay on track and elicit authentic views- Heightened expectations amongst communities and service
providers
Advantages- simple, inexpensive and can be conducted in a short period of
time- Regular means for feedback to government by the community- Inform future plan for service delivery- When successful, builds confidence of community members
and service providers to tackle problems constructively and generate their own solutions

Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS)
PETS are used to track the flow of public budget resources through different levels of government
Traces the amounts originally allocated to each level to see what share of these allocated funds actually reach where they were supposed to
