📢 2027 NATIONAL BUDGET PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS: DAY 5 The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget, Finance and Investment Promotion continues its public hearings on the 2027 National Budget today. Section 141 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe requires Parliament to involve the public in its work, and these hearings are the avenue for that. Day 1 of the hearings, as reported in the media, was dominated by calls for stronger funding of health, education and other social services. Whatever matters most in your community, whether clinics, schools, roads, water, or support for women, youth and persons with disabilities, the consultations are your opportunity to make it part of the record. 📍 Please refer to the flyer below for today’s venues and times. ✅ Attend the hearing nearest to you ✅ Encourage members of your community, association, or organisation to attend ✅ Prepare a short, evidence-based input: state the problem, the budget line concerned, and your proposed solution NANGO encourages its members, partners, and the wider public to participate constructively. A budget shaped by citizens is a budget owned by citizens. #BudgetConsultations #PublicParticipation #CivicSpaceMatters
