Office of Management and Budget
The Office of Management and Budget's predominant role is to assist the Governor in overseeing the preparation of the CNMI Budget and to supervise its administration in Executive Branch agencies. In helping to formulate the Governor's spending plans, OMB evaluates the effectiveness of agency programs, policies, and procedures and sets funding priorities. OMB has a hand in improving and coordinating the management of the Commonwealth Government. OMB must ensure discipline in government programs and activities for consistency with the Governors' policies and budget, improve government efficiency by reducing duplication and overlaps between and among agencies, and assist department and activity heads in internal organization and management to achieve maximum effectiveness at minimum cost to the taxpayer.
OMB is composed of staff organized either by agency and program area or by functional responsibilities. However, the work of OMB often requires a broad exposer to issues and programs outside of the direct area of assigned responsibility.
The Honorable Governor Benigno Fitial
