Sound fiscal management of the security sector is essential if a country is to
have effective, efficient and professional security organisations that are
capable of protecting the state and its population against internal and
external threats. Integrated planning, policy-making, and budgeting systems
are necessary in order to achieve an appropriate allocation of public sector
resources and to manage these resources effectively and efficiently. This
chapter provides guidance on how this integration can be achieved in the
security sector.
Section 5.1 explains the importance of following good practice in security-sector
budgeting and discusses key principles of sound budgeting that should be
applied in all sectors. Section 5.2 outlines a generic security-sector policy,
planning and budgeting process, and describes how the security sector can
be integrated into it. |
