Dear Hon. Member of Parliament,
We are pleased to invite you to the final event of our
Parliamentary Leadership for the 2030 Agenda
Webinar Series,
which will be centered on
Designing National Budgets: Translating Global
Commitments into Realities.
This webinar will provide practical guidance to tackle the challenges
involved in the allocation of budgets, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. By
determining national budgets, parliaments can be decisive in addressing the inequalities that have been
exacerbated by the pandemic and bringing upon the sustainable recovery that is needed by our
communities.
As such, this webinar is structured to give participating parliamentarians actionable items to guide their
work around budgets. This will be a discussion-oriented event, beginning with presentations by experts
in the subject matter that will provide an overview on how to design budgets that include sustainability
and gender perspectives as cross-cutting elements. To encourage dialogue and interaction between
participants, the
expert’s
presentations will be followed by breakout sessions on specific issue areas:
budgeting for health, budgeting for a sustainable economic recovery, and budgeting for education. This
will provide an opportunity to exchange the best practices in designing budgets that will foster a
sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please register here to attend online and indicate your preferred breakout session.
Connection details
will be sent to confirmed participants a couple days in advance of the event. Live interpretation from
English to Spanish will be available, and we are currently looking into also including French. Kindly see
the attached concept note and agenda for further details.
We are looking forward to having you join us in this unique opportunity for knowledge sharing and lively
discussion on how to make budgets a transformative tool for building back better.
With our warm regards and gratitude,
