Course Vacancy for CSOs

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are Invited to Apply for Training on Analysing the Government’s Budget and Understanding its Processes

REPOA invites members of Civil Society Organisations to training on analysis of the Government’s Budget. The week long course is suitable for employees of CSOs involved in advocacy, monitoring and evaluation of issues relating to governmental policy.

The training will enhance the capacity of CSOs to analyse and understand the National Budget and the governmental processes that lead to the allocation and utilisation of resources. Due to the analytical nature of this course, it is not suitable for Civil Society Organisations involved in service delivery at the local level.

Course content includes:
• The National Budget’s framework – revenue and expenditure
• Planning and budget processes at the national and council levels and their linkages
• The execution of the Government’s plans and budgets, and entry points for CSOs
• Methods and tools for analysing and monitoring the National Budget
• Links to MKUKUTA’s goals and targets
• Using the Tanzania Governance Noticeboard (TGN) to access and analyse budget data
