About

UNICEF Burundi develops budget briefs on an annual basis to explore the extent to which Burundi's national budgets address children's needs.

The briefs analyze the size and composition of budget allocations to sectors that matter most for children (e.g. education, health, social protection, water and sanitation) in the current fiscal year as well as offer insights into the efficiency, equity and adequacy of past spending.

The main objectives of the budget briefs include synthesizing complex budget information so that it is easily understood by different stakeholders and putting forth key messages and recommendations to influence public financial decision-making processes and leverage domestic resources for children.
