Budget allocations across programme areas continue to be based on historical budgeting processes (i.e., funding cycles continue to allocate funds to programmes funded the previous cycle/historically) (EMERALD, 2017). Unless a budget bid is tabled to lodge an investment case, budget allocations will follow historical trends (EMERALD, 2017).
