This is a very important part of ZBB. Each decision package must be designed
comprehensively to justify the quantum of financial investment. The format to design a
decision package is given below:
ó Name of decision package with details of its identification with location.
ó Major head of account
ó Duration of implementation of the package
ó List of functions
ó Specific objectives under each function
ó Targets or events to be achieved under each objective with deadlines
ó Activities to reach target or to accomplish each event.
ó List of direct and indirect benefits on reaching target or on accomplishing of
each event.
ó Relevance of each activity in the present context or with reference to the needs
of the people.
ó Explanation regarding consequence if event/target/activity is not funded
ó Indication of norms of performance or prescribing performance standards under
each indicator
ó Funding levels in decision package and how and to what extent each level
should be funded
ó Estimated cost under each detailed head of account or item-wise.
ó Phasing of proposed expenditure.
ó Listing alternative methods with cost to achieve prescribed targets or to
accomplish each event
ó Series of relevant questions with answers to justify every proposed item of
expenditure in the decision package. A suggestive list of relevant questions is
given in the box below:Questions:
- What is the necessity of the decision package?
