Monitoring Government Budgets to Advance Child Rights


This new publication entitled: "Monitoring government budgets to advance child rights: a guide for NGOs", was compiled by Judith Streak of the Children's Budget Unit in the Institute for Democracy in South Africa.

The guide aims to assist people who would like to conduct their own research on government's budgeting for children. For these target readers, the handbook offers research support and practical guidance on how to use child budget analysis to generate information that can be used to advance child rights.

The guide is also intended as an information resource for child rights activists who would like to use budget information to reinforce their advocacy work. For these target readers, the book provides insight into the different types of information that can be generated through child budget analysis.
