In a statement, the organisation emphasized that the workshop is designed to demystify the budget process by showing participants how public funds are allocated and spent, and how citizens can ensure their tax rights are protected.

“We want citizens to understand their tax obligations, learn to use the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) to report concerns, and gain practical experience in budget monitoring and evaluation,” BBYDI noted.
