Connecting Budget Credibility to the Sustainable Development Goals in Nepal - A Brief

 

Nepal: Budget Credibility and the Sustainable Development Goals

This brief presents analysis of Nepal’s Federal Government spending in six key sectors that relate to nine Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), examining budget credibility trends in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The analysis builds on the methodology of SDG indicator 16.6.1, which recognizes the importance of budget credibility, but is currently reported only at the level of the aggregate budget without exploring the variation in budget credibility patterns in the six key sectors. The sectors covered here are agriculture and food, education, environment, health, social protection, and water and sanitation. This brief also compares budget deviations and the share of government spending in each sector to the progress reported on achieving the related SDG as reported in the SDG Index 2021 to better understand how these spending patterns relate to Nepal’s efforts to achieve the SDGs.

To arrive at these recommendations, the authors relied on document reviews, including budget statements and budget performance reports, as well as budget execution data pulled from the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Financial Comptroller General Office.
