Budget Tracking

NURHI formed and trained Budget Task Teams in each city to prepare annual budgets for family planning, which are essential components of the city and state budgets.  Budget Task Teams use the Budget Tracking Tool prepared by NURHI to monitor how family planning budgets are being released and used. 

Each quarter, the team compiles a report that compares family planning expenditures against the approved budget.   They share these reports with the ACGs and project staff to de-brief policy-makers about how the budgets are really being used. This approach has contributed to the achievement of high-level support from policy makers to improve expenditures on family planning programs.
