- Continuously increased responsiveness of policy makers, such as the National Treasury and Parliament, to the issues raised in the document.

The Annual national shadow Budget projects gaps such as discrepancies between sector reports and budget allocations, low development budget absorption, pending bills with no allocations, overlaps, redundancies, and duplication of functions.
