Role of Information for Linking PRS, Policy and Budget Processes

The World Bank’s Development Communication Division (DevComm), External Affairs, in partnership with the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network Africa Region, held a workshop entitled “Monitoring Poverty Reduction Strategies: Leadership, Budget Links, and the Role of Communication” in Cape Town, South Africa in June 2007. Participants included government officials and technical specialists involved in PRS monitoring, communication, policy and budgeting issues. During the discussions, they shared evidence of what they had found to be successful and unsuccessful in their work, and the challenges they still faced. The workshop encouraged peer-to-peer learning through six facilitated discussions.
