It is a Constitutional obligation that binds all levels of government and if government is not alive to this, budgeting will continue to perpetuate structural inequalities between the privileged and less privileged and overlook opportunities to use public funds to improve the lives of disadvantaged and marginalised peoples.
With regard to the aforementioned, the SAHRC in Free State province will be having a stakeholder engagement on the understanding of how critical human rights budgeting is to municipalities. Proper human rights budgeting mechanisms will assist public servants with higher levels of public service involvement to be more self-regulating and resistant to material temptations.
The stakeholder engagement is scheduled as follows:
Date: 22 February 2023
Time: 10H00
Venue: Clarens Community Hall
