In this regard, all sectors should ensure their program-basedbudgets are supported with the concept notes and expenditures are outcomes oriented.Going forward, with the reduced projected growth in equitable share and conditionalallocations, loans and grants, more emphasis will be done to enhance our resourcemobilization strategy in the medium term. This will be effected through setting up requiredpolicies and laws to support PPP investments and develop partnership with developmentpartners to realize the Vision 2025 agenda for socio economic transformation.
