CRGD Academy
Public Finance for Elected Representatives
A two day program for elected members of panchayats and municipalities on reading budgets, raising revenue and tracking spending.
Elected representatives in local governments are responsible for significant public funds, often without training in public finance. This program gives them practical tools to read and question budgets, understand their revenue options and follow the money through to results.
Sessions will be held in Malayalam. Dates will be announced in partnership with local governments.
