The Participatory Budgeting Knowledge and Action Support Facility for Africa |
The World Bank's Social Development Department (SDV), in collaboration with the World Bank Institute (WBI), has provided funding to MDP-ESA through the Norwegian and Finish Trust Fund (TFESSD) to establish a Participatory Budgeting Knowledge and Action Support Facility for Africa.
The Facility serves as a focal point to channel demands from various institutions and individuals, such as policy experts, program managers and legislative drafters seeking expertise and advice in the area of participatory budgeting and other related fields. MDP-ESA relies on acknowledged experts in the Africa region and beyond in responding to this demand. A similar Facility has also been established for the Latin America and Caribbean Region at the International Centre for Urban Management (CIGU) in Ecuador. MDP-ESA and CIGU collaborate closely to promote cross-regional knowledge sharing, where possible drawing from, and involving other regional networks.
More information about the Africa facility can be obtained from the Facility's Website on http://www.asaaf.org.zw/thefacility.html
