The alternative budget contains budget proposals from the public and private sector stakeholders who attended the IEA annual pre-budget hearings that took place on 28^th and 29^th January 2015. The proposals submitted were consolidated and synthesized by the IEA according to the various Medium Terms Expenditure Framework (MTEF) sectors largely based on their feasibility, whether they make economic sense and whether they are in line with the national priorities of the government. Furthermore, this alternative budget takes cognizance of the draft budget policy statement 2015/16 as a pre-budget statement that sets the macroeconomic framework through which the government will prepare the forthcoming budget.
