DEVELOP AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY STEP FOUR

E – Develop a budget

 Calculate the cost implications of your plan and determine whether the plan is affordable and
sustainable and provides for economies of scale.

 Evaluate the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) to determine the availability of funding.
Typically the budgets of departments are constrained in the short term and discretionary funding
is limited to new infrastructure. Hence the implementation of access standards is a medium term
exercise and it should be done incrementally.

 It is likely that you will have to prioritise which facilities will be allocated funding ahead of others.

F – Monitor implementation

Once the infrastructure plan has been approved, you should track its implementation. Ensure that new
facilities are actually established at optimal sites and monitor their use by beneficiaries.
