“Public budgets belong to the people.” How can citizens better understand them – and claim real ownership? Hear from Nancy Pinchas of @CVSSJa in Jamaica as she shares her reflections from the Collaborating for Open Budgets Peer Learning Convening in Istanbul this October, drawing on insights from a learning visit to South Africa’s @asivikelane campaign with communities in informal settlements. This work is made possible through the generous support of the @EU_Commission. #OpenBudgets #FiscalTransparency #Accountability #PublicParticipation #COAB
