Background

SEND Ghana, a leading advocacy organization, has embarked on an ambitious project to collate inputs from various stakeholders for the 2025 Budget and Economic Policy. This initiative aims to ensure that the voices of Ghanaians are heard and their concerns addressed in the upcoming budget.

The organization is seeking inputs from citizens, civil society organizations, and private sector stakeholders to inform the budget’s priorities and allocations. This inclusive approach is crucial in promoting transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in the budget process.

According to Nana Kwasi Barning Ackah, programs officer, Send Ghana, various groups representing lead beneficiaries, senior citizens, also some farmers, fisher folks and other vulnerable groups are provided the opportunity for them to also share their views and consent to be captured and submit them to the ministry of finance for consideration into the national budget.

He explained, the dialogue provides some justification for why governments should prioritize those issues.

Ackah Barning said in terms of the social protection interventions, beneficiaries always crave for an increment in their grants while adolescent groups may demand some rigorous mechanisms in terms of sexual and productive health rights.
He added that Send Ghana is expecting that when the budget is read in November, some of these consents will be reflected in government’s budgets.
