Capacity Building Workshop on Budget Analysis and Advocacy


Social Accountability and Budget Analysis Network (SABAN) in collaboration with *Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA),
New Delhi* is conducting a *two-day residential Capacity Building Workshop on Budget Analysis and Advocacy in Thiruvananthapuram on August 31st and September 1st, 2013.

This is a follow up to the workshop for local legislators that was jointly held by the Institute for Sustainable Development and Governance (ISDG),
Trivandrum and CBGA (www.cbgaindia.org) at Bodhigram, Adoor on September 18th and 19th 2012. Resource persons will be eminent economists and advocacy experts from CBGA, New Delhi.

SABAN hopes to adopt a decentralized approach with the objective of incorporating voices and demands from across Kerala in the process of
advocacy on the State Budget. In its endeavor to strengthen people's voices in the budget process, SABAN additionally undertakes capacity building workshops for civil society actors so as to empower them to understand institutions and processes in budgeting, budget priorities, budgeting for the disadvantaged sections, etc. Selected participants will be provided continuous training by international experts in the field of budget analysis and advocacy.


NGOs, civil society organizations and CBOs are requested to nominate one potential person *from your organization for this capacity building
workshop. This workshop would be absolutely free of cost and total number of participants would be restricted to 60.SABAN is a multi-stakeholder network of civil society activists, researchers, media persons and policy experts across the state that came together in January 2013 with the aim of building a knowledge network to promote transparency and accountability in budgeting and governance. ISDG serves as the secretariat of SABAN.

Over the last seven months, the membership of SABAN has grown and more than 150 individuals and civil society organizations participated in Kerala's First Ever Pre-budget Consultation with Civil Society organized jointly by SABAN and CBGA on January 30, 2013 in which all the members of the Finance Department including the Honourable Finance Minister participated. A charter of demands was submitted which formed the basis of advocacy with policymakers and members of legislature.
