BUDGET OLYMPIAD 2018

National budget is a public document that captures the political vision of a government. The existing structure and process of preparing budget of GoB (government of Bangladesh) is highly centralized and lacks of peoples participation. Even the Members of Parliament are not empowered enough to influence before and after placing the budget in the assembly. On the other hand lack of public awareness and people’s participation in the budget resulted into corruption and unjust distribution of resources in essential public services.

In Bangladesh, the young people, who are one-third of the population, are supposed to be 60% of our national human resource by 2050 (UNFPA, 2014). However, in the current context of Bangladesh, the general people, especially young people, have the lack of clear knowledge and interest in the discussions and discourses of National Budget. There is a necessity of awareness in this existing of vacuum.

Budget Olympiad is mainly a national level contest among young people and students to popularize and stimulate the national budgetary issue. After participating in the contests at local level and regional level, the qualified participants gather at National level to take part for final event. The winners are awarded as budget campaigners to move onward with their knowledge and concerns of budget literacy.

An alternative model styled as “Budget Olympiad” was developed to popularize the budget discourse among the young people/ students. Populazining the issue among youth can be the utmost necessity to fill the vacuum of awareness as young people.

 

OBJECTIVE:
The core objective of this Olympiad is to mobilize and sensitize youth and students on the discussion
of national budgetary issues and popular concerns around its planning process. The specific objectives
are-

  1. Engage youth agencies and academic institutions to support initiatives for popularizing budget discourse and budget literacy;
  2. Develop a critical mass of youth and students who would act for budget democracy.
