Workspace on social budgeting

Social budgeting is a comprehensive planning of social protection finances, it is a comprehensive and detailed account of a country's revenue and expenditure earmarked for social protection. As national social protection systems are long-term commitments of society, the objective of the methodology is to develop a long-term view of possible economic, financial and fiscal developments in a particular country, which permits the assessment of long-term commitments and whether they are fiscally and economically sustainable.

In this workspace you can find a self-learning kit on social budgeting and there is a workspace to set up a social budget model in African countries.

• Self-learning kit on social budgeting The objective of this course is to introduce participants to the main components of the social budgeting process. One prerequisite for developing a system of governance for the social sector is to know what the present overall level of expenditure is, where money is spent, which needs remain unmet, and how the overall national social expenditure, as well as the financial burden for the different financers of the system, develop under different economic scenarios and different reform options. By providing clear social accounting and meaningful projection systems, this course offers one of the essential factual bases for national social policy.
