    "content": "This, according to the Budget Policy Statement, is attributed to rather lengthy and cumbersome procurement procedures. These challenges are accompanied by insufficient understanding of donor policies by the local project personnel. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance takes a lead in negotiating for these funds; thus it is expected that before the funds are included in the budget, all the necessary arrangements are, ideally, put in place. The Budget Committee, therefore, observed that despite the existence of the challenges, leading to poor performance of externally funded programmes and to low absorption rates, there are no indicated measures that the Ministry will be taking to streamline the execution of the same. The Committee recommends that in the upcoming Budget, adequate information be provided on total commitment by donors and what has been absorbed already."
