πCapacity Building of CSOs on Ghana's Local Public Financial Management (PFM) β Koforidua
Faith Dawah Foundation successfully participated in the two-day Capacity Building Workshop on Ghana's Local Public Financial Management (PFM), organized under the GIZ-PAIReD initiative at the Eastern Premier Hotel, Koforidua, from 17thβ18th July 2026. The workshop brought together Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to strengthen their knowledge and skills in public financial management, budgeting, taxation, and accountability at the local level.
Over the two days, participants received practical training on key areas including the local public finance system, the budget cycle, budget analysis, fiscal decentralization, gender-responsive public finance, domestic revenue mobilization, taxation, public spending, intergovernmental fiscal transfers, and social spending. The sessions, facilitated by Prof. Bokpin, also provided opportunities for interactive discussions and knowledge sharing among participants.
The knowledge and insights gained from this training will strengthen Faith Dawah Foundation's advocacy efforts in promoting transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in local governance. We remain committed to applying these lessons to empower communities and contribute to improved public financial management for sustainable development.
We extend our sincere appreciation to GIZ-PAIReD, the facilitators, and all participating CSOs for an engaging and impactful learning experience. Together, we will continue to advocate for accountable governance and inclusive development across Ghana.
