Financial Management \& Budgeting Summative Assignment Due date: 22 August 2022 Background South Africa is committed to fulfilling its constitutional obligations to deliver socio-economic rights in the context of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), the National Development Plan, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In September 2000 the member states of the United Nations adopted the Millennium Declaration which set out the development goals and targets for the millennium. The first seven goals are mutually reinforcing and directed at reducing poverty in all its forms and it is in these areas that synergy between the RDP, MDGs, SDGs and the NDP is most apparent. The MDGs aimed to: - Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, reducing by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day; - Achieve universal primary education, ensuring that all children complete a full course of primary schooling; - Promote gender equality and empower women, eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2005 and at all levels by 2015 ; - Reduce child mortality by two-thirds among children under five; - Improve maternal health, reducing by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio; - Combat HIVIAids, malaria and other diseases; - Ensure environmental sustainability, reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable - Promote gender equality and empower women, eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2005 and at all levels by 2015; - Reduce child mortality by two-thirds among children under five; - Improve maternal health, reducing by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio; - Combat HIVIAids, malaria and other diseases; - Ensure environmental sustainability, reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water, and achieving significant improvement in the lives of at least a hundred million slum dwellers by 2020. The eighth goal i.e. a global partnership for development is concerned with the means to achieve the first seven goals. From the MDGs to the SDGs, which are aimed to transform the world. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At the heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. - Goal 1: No poverty - Goal 2: Zero hunger - Goal 3: Good health and well-being - Goal 4: Quality education - Goal 5: Gender equality - Gender 6: Clean water and sanitation - Group 7: Affordable and clean energy - Group 8: Decent work and economic growth - Group 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure - Group 10: Reduced inequality - Group 11: Sustainable cities and communities - Group 12: Responsible consumption and production - Group 13: Climate action - Group 14: Life below water - Group 15: Life on land - Group 16: Peace and justice strong institutions - Group 17: Partnerships to achieve the goal Government's NDP is one of the central pillars in implementing the RDP, previously MDGs and now SDGs.

The government of a developed country wishes to provide financial aid to the South African Government for a public sector activity relating to South Africa's development agenda, with a particular focus on the empowerment of women who face multiple barriers to development. The envisaged aid consists of financing worthy projects each to the value of R100 million over three years on condition that a feasible strategic and medium-term performance plan for each project is presented. The criteria which the donor will use to assess the fiduciary aspects of each envisaged project are as follows: - Comprehensiveness i.e. the project plan and risk oversight must be comprehensive; - Policy-based budgeting i.e. the project and budget must be in accordance with government priorities; - The budget must be credible i.e. it must be realistic and be implemented as intended; - The project must be executed predictability and in a controlled manner i.e. implementation and arrangements for control of the use of funds must be orderly and predictable; - Gender indicators must be realistic and measurable, demonstrating equal participation in and benefit from the project for women and men. Funding will favour projects that promote equal access and benefit for both women and men. - Accounting, recording and reporting must be beyond reproach i.e. adequate records must be produced, maintained and disseminated to meet decision-making control management and reporting purposes; - Arrangements for scrutiny of public finances and follow-up by the executive are open to external audit and scrutiny.
