RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING A METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING BUDGET EXPENDITURES AIMED AT ACHIEVING THE NATIONAL GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE BUDGETARY PROCESS

Abstract

This article analyzes the regulatory legal framework related to the National Sustainable Development Goals (NSDG) and evaluates the current state of budget expenditure tagging aligned with these goals. It highlights potential challenges in tagging budget expenditures to correspond with the NSDG and proposes recommendations for implementing a structured tagging procedure. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of integrating the tagging process with specific tasks under the NSDG framework, rather than focusing solely on overarching goals. This approach facilitates data-driven decision-making by enabling targeted allocation of funds, identifying NSDG areas that require additional financing, and assessing the effectiveness of expenditures. Examples are provided to illustrate how task-oriented tagging enhances budget planning and resource utilization.
