planning and program based budgeting.
Ultimately, successful adoption of PBB would imply achieving a significant culture change 
across the administration. Beyond technical reforms, this would require raising awareness 
and foster a shared understanding on the part of key policy makers and budget participants, 
including civil society, of the value of making the budget more policy relevant and less an 
instrument of control. 
SDG ALIGNMENT OF THE STATE PLANNING SYSTEM AND ANNUAL BUDGET

Targets that are less well-covered include SDG 5 Gender Equality (66.7 percent), SDG 13 
Climate change (50 percent) and SDG 17 Partnerships (40 percent). This reveals the GoU is
