Programming and budgeting process of public works agencies Programming It is a process of prioritizing proposed projects and developing a single-year or multiyear program of projects, usually within a constrained monetary amount. Example s An annual preventive maintenance program. A five-year capital program(what capital improvements will be designed and constructed over the time period ?)
