Budget is the most important document that a government produces every year. It translates government’s narratives and commitments into action. CNBA has strived for openness in the budgets at every level for the past decade and has been gauging the transparency of district budgets allover the Pakistan. During the current year, the focus of the exercise was at the provincial and federal levels, which led to a report on the “State of Budget Transparency in Pakistan”. It is hoped that this report will help further the cause of reforms, especially when it is shared with various stakeholders.
