The aim of the free 2-day training is to raise awareness about vulekamali.gov.za, encourage participants to engage with the South African national and provincial departments budgets, and stimulate thinking on budget data-driven solutions to some of the problems experienced by local communities. This will also be an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the budget process within government, interacting with vulekamali.gov.za, and importantly, to interact with national and provincial government officials on budget-related matters.
