The next New Tactics dialogue will deal with Using Budgets for Monitoring. It is taking place from 24 February to 2March 2010.
This online dialogue will be a space for practitioners using – and training others to use – government budgets to monitor the implementation of human rights commitments. The goal of this dialogue is to create a stronger network on practitioners using budgets for monitoring, to share important resources and information, and also to introduce this technique to our online community. Please join us on February 24!
“Preventing human rights abuse depends on government action, and government action requires government spending. Human rights groups, therefore, cannot fully ascertain how well a government is fulfilling its obligations unless they learn how to carefully monitor government budgets and spending.” – Liam Mahony, editor of ‘Using Government Budgets as a Monitoring Tool’
Our featured resource practitioners leading this discussion include:
- Warren Krafchik, Helena Hofbauer, Gabriel Lara, and Shaamela Cassiem of the International Budget Partnership
- Denny John, a consultant in the health sector for NGOs such as Action Aid, PATH, UNDP and local NGOs in India
- Pravas MIshra of the Center for Youth and Social Development (CYSD), India
- Alfred Wreh, Head of Secretariat of the Liberia Civil Society Budget Watch Network
- Mario Claasen and Petronella Murowe of IDASA in South Africa
- Edewede (Dede) Kadiri, Senior Programme Officer with Dev’t Initiatives Network (DIN), Nigeria
- Kipp and Philip of INFONET in Kenya
