Identifying Strategies for Grassroots Budget Evaluation and Reporting
Introduction
• BudgIT’s innovation within the public circles comes with a creative use of government data by either presenting them in interactive format or infographic displays.
• We analyze and design systems for managing public data for easy and clear interpretations, transparency and accountability.

The State of Data
Expenditure Budget
Actual Revenue
Procurement Actual Cash Releases & Utilization
Verification & Quality Assessment
Follow The Money Budgets and Actual Releases
Narrowing Down the Monitoring Process
2013 Budget Clause 5 (ii)
“The Accountant-General of the Federation shall forward to the National Assembly full details of funds released to the government Agencies immediately such funds are released”.
How do we ensure that public access to data is not a just statutory legislation but a moral obligation/growing culture by government towards a better and stable society?
Discussion 1
How do we ensure that data gets released deep down for empirical analysis, independent verification and civil society monitoring?

Strategy
- The Question of How
Actionable and Empirical Data
There is a pressing need to harness data and feed in for institutional support and
that requires all hands on deck for improved service delivery.

Understanding The Literacy Chain
Public Finance Experts/Economists:
Interested in the technical understanding of the budget, such as the inflation trends and macroeconomic projections.
Active and Literate Citizens:
Angry with the state of governance. Needs more data and exposure of corruption and waste to validate his argument. He wants more clarity in data and will be open to solutions

Spectator
Understanding The Literacy Chain
The Inactive Literate Citizens
Classifies the government as one big pipedrain and not interested in what government does? Not given to accountability as they seek to make their fenced livelihood.
The Grassroots (Rural/Urban)
Can’t connect to the jargon of budget. Will be happy if shown where exactly the budget affects them. Could be recruited based on defining argument but economic hardship still a key factor.

Budget Monitoring Tools Grassroot CSOs
Mobile Technology & Budgeting
To Do List • Dimension Data • Craft a story • Build Engagement • Build the Platform • Develop a Feedback System
Intersecting The Constituency Offices & Grassroots CSOs
We need to intersect the Constituency Offices and grassroots CSO to adequately report the state of projects within their areas. Nesting technology and offline access within these two entities is most needed.
What Technology Will Do?
• Prompt Access & Quick Response
• Disrupts the ‘Toll Gates’
• Clearer Understanding of Context
• Open Format & Access
What Technology Would Not Do!
• Great Technology without data
• No prime skill set to harness it
• Lack of Institutional Support
• Poor engagement or Share strategy
