Circular on Guidelines on Mandatory Reporting of Disaster-Related Expenditures by Ministries, Departments and Agencies

Abstract

This Circular provides guidelines for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) on how to report disaster-related expenditures. It introduces a disaster expenditure reporting template that will facilitate quarterly data submissions that as of the fourth quarter of FY 2019/20 has become mandatory for all MD As that incur disaster-related expenditures to report on these expenses. To support the budgetary planning and preparation processes, the National Treasury and Planning seeks to strengthen data collection and reporting on consolidated post-disaster expenditure by the MDAs. Strengthening procedures on disaster-related expenditure reporting is expected to lead to higher standards of fiscal transparency and efficiency of the budgetary process
