The government declared poverty reduction to be its principal policy goal in 1997. Reform of the budgetary system within the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) emphasised the change in focus from short-term to medium-term budgeting, first introduced in 1999. Its major achievement was that in the first year of its introduction all MDAs were able to produce a three year integrated broad-based budget. The budgeting system operates within the wider context of the public sector financial management arrangements.
