The CBA was created to consolidate ISODEC's on-going work on improving the budget process and the efficiency in the use of public resources by spreading budget activism and promoting a better budget process through consultation and participation of all stakeholders; accountability by public officials; and transparency in public financial transaction. The aim is to create public awareness and interest in the budget process, not only in Ghana but in the subregion. CBA also engages in the tracking of central government transfers to local government authorities. <P>http://www.internationalbudget.org/groups/ghana.htm |

"The Budget Analysis Center is engaged in an all-year-round research on the national budget. The analytical approach is holistic with focus on macro and micro policy issues. Key questions often addressed include, what strategies are adopted to solve problems of financial deficits? To what extent is the budget consistent with poverty alleviation and wealth creation strategies? How does the budget seek to revamp the agriculture sector? How is the subject of HIV/AIDS pandemic addressed, etc?"<P> |
