Capacity building for budget demystification
Back<<
The key objective of this project is to demystify the National and Local Government Budgets through peer-to-peer learning by creating the enabling environment for advanced countries in this area to give support to countries taking up the challenge of participatory planning and budgeting at both the local and national levels. It is expected that at the end of the project period, the peer institutions will experience the following impacts:
The knowledge of peer institutions greatly enhanced in Public Finance Management and the budget is made accessible and user-friendly;
- Institutional stakeholders familiarized with participatory tools and methodologies geared towards opening up the budget process, fostering inclusive citizenship, transparency and accountability;
- Stakeholders literate in budget analysis and can do basic and advanced calculations on the national budget to meaningfully contribute in the budgeting process of Local Government Authorities;
- Effective and active involvement of peer institutions in participatory budget processes;
- Upward and downward accountability of Local Government Authorities in relation to budgets through budget tracking greatly enhanced; and Institutionalization of the demystification of the budgets and their processes
