This learning review describes the approaches and tactics used for budget monitoring and advocacy by Oxfam and partners in a sample of eight countries/regions.
In multiple countries around the globe, Oxfam and partners undertake budget monitoring and advocacy as part of their fiscal justice work, aiming to tackle inequality and reduce poverty through increased spending on public services (e.g. health, smallholder agriculture) in foreign aid budgets in donor countries and national budgets in developing countries. This learning review describes the approaches and tactics used for budget monitoring and advocacy by Oxfam and partners in a sample of eight countries/regions. It identifies key factors that contribute to or inhibit CSO efforts to influence budget policies and increase budget accountability.
