A significant share of the federal budget is received by provincial governments or involves the participation of provincial governments in managing the expenditure. This category of federal expenditure includes funded mandates (when provinces carry out a federal function or administer a federal programme at federal expense), devolved funds (funds granted to the states to manage in support of broad policy goals), and more substantively concurrent programmes such as the [[Kiravian_Development_Executive#Structural_Adjustment_Fund|Structural Adjustment Fund]], in which both federal and provincial bodies have an active role in the management of federal funds. | A significant share of the federal budget is received by provincial governments or involves the participation of provincial governments in managing the expenditure.

The Structural Adjustment Fund is the largest and most important of the structural funds, and is intended to support economic development, maintain nationwide social stability and cohesion, and reduce regional disparities in growth and standards of living. It accounts for a majority of federal spending on domestic development aid. SAF grants are administered by the federal Development Executive together with select provincial and subprovincial agencies known as Designated Management Authorities. Designated Management Authorities receive grant applications and screen out ineligible or informal proposals. They then evaluate proposals on the merits and select which to send on to Kartika for further consideration by the Development Executive. At the federal level, the Structural Adjustment Fund Administration’s Boards of Review and Allowance make their final selections based on a "Blue Book" of federal standards, supplemented by memoranda issued by the Chief Development Executive expressing the current administration’s development strategy and priorities. Post-grant, both the DMA and the SAFA’s Office of Supervision receive reports from receiving organisations on the use of grant money and monitor the implementation of projects to ensure compliance with federal regulations and the grant agreement. | The Structural Adjustment Fund is the largest and most important of the structural funds, and is intended to support economic development, maintain nationwide social stability and cohesion, and reduce regional disparities in growth and standards of living.
