No. Only actual transactions of cash or cash equivalents would form part of the cash flow statement. The creation of provisions or reserves are an allocation of cash and not a payment (the company will retain ultimate control of the funds) however any payment of the provision will form part of the cash flow statement.

For example a company creates a provision in order to clean up after its mining operations

Company Starts mining in year x1 and will complete operations in x10

The Provision is formed in x1 and paid in x10 ( only in x10 will any amount relating to the provision be shown on the Cash Flow Statement whereas the provision will form part of the statement of financial position- balance sheet- from year x1)
