Open discussions on substantive state budget issues provide invaluable opportunity for public policy stakeholders including lawmakers, interest groups, the media and the general public to judge the intentions and performance of government and hold it to account.

Over 1,000 delegates are expected to attend the EITD Research State Budget Issues Conference in Yaounde. Many more will share in its build up and outcome, through a variety of pre-and-post Conference meetings and online discussions and follow-ups including training in state budget affairs at various levels within Cameroon and in every region of the world.
